I’d like to thank Nathan and the team at Wendy’s Broadcadst for all their help. They have been supplying me with custom cables, made to the highest standard over many year. The low profile connectors are hard to find, yet they normally ship the finished leads the day after ordering, often to studios or locations where I am filming and I’ve never had to ask for any adjustments or corrections; They are right first time, despite my requiring some unusual bespoke wiring. I’ve also benefited from real world advice about products and fault finding. Wendy’s Broadcast have made location sound far less stressful.
B 5 D HOLLOW FOAM POPSCREEN
The B 5 D offers good effectiveness, yet has only a slight influence on the sound. It is made of foam but is hollow in the middle. This leads to an enclosed air volume around the capsule, just as with basket-type windscreens. The microphone must be inserted up to the stop.
Although it has not been designed for that purpose, it is possible to use it on the MK 4V, MK 41V or MK 4VXS microphone capsules and the corresponding CCM Compact Condenser Microphones. The microphone’s slight inherent high-frequency emphasis is then compensated for.
The B 5 D cannot be used with MK 6 or MK 8 capsules, or the corresponding CCM compact microphones.
