Topic: Windscreens for AKG 460s

[tbrown4]

I'm looking for some fairly hefty windscreens to run on some 460s. I recall seeing somewhere here about using DPA screens which fit perfectly? I searched, but could not find anything.

Any help/links would be much appreciated!

Love mine. Always use them outdoors. They work like a charm.

Ah ha. I think thats what I was looking for. How much they run, a pair?

IMHO, you don't need to pay that much for a good pair of screens.  These DPAs work great in a good breeze and sound comes through very nicely.

I'm not sure what the difference is between the above screens and these...

The link says they go with 19mm mics and yours are 22mm.  However, I used them many times with 460s and 480's and they fit like a glove.

BTW, the Windtech screens are very light duty and I've been told that they don't do that well outside, unless you buy the more expensive model.  I can't remember what model number they are...they're the ones that are $35 or so apiece at B&H.

IMHO, you don't need to pay even $50 for a good pair of screens.  These DPAs would work fine in a good breeze.

the top link is the large ones i have
they fit the 39x and 46/8x
the 46/8x i find twisting them on works best since they are a lttle bigger then the screens hole
