David Lipka Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Hello dear sound Colleagues, I am a longtime happy user of Sennheiser MKH30/40 or 50 Stereo MS rig. Coupled with a Modified Cinela Zephyx it is very efficient regarding handling noise and wind protection. I am looking for a solution to use it indoor without the cage (like the Schoeps WMS) but to no avail. Do someone have found an interresting solution of custom made foam which can protect both microphones? I was thinking to do some tests, first with some foam models of different thickness and various glue types but before doing so i turned myself toward the Mecca of sound knowledge database! Thank you very much for sharing your experiences! Best, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobilemike Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 I've used my MKH50/30 rig indoors with just the foam covers that come with the mics. The foam gets a little squished between the mics but it works fine. Won't stand up to super quick boom swings but you will want to avoid those anyway when using a stereo rig (as I'm sure you know) so you don't get wild sudden changes in the stereo image. -Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Lipka Posted April 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Thank you Mike for sharing your experience, i tried this option too but as you said it is pretty sensitive to movements.. I will continue to imagine new solution and if i find something i will keep posting here! David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Immoral Mr Teas Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 I would look for a suitably wide-hole windscreen for a large barrelled mic (U87? Soundfield MK5 perhaps?) and possibly fit that over the MKH windscreens. Another possibility would be to just pull a small diameter rycote jammer over the two MKH windscreens (not the full size things, the consumer camera mic type)?

henrimic Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Hi David, a few months ago I asked Cinela if they could adapt the Leo MS for a couple of MKH30 + 8050. They answered that it was possible but they had too much work at this time. As these microphones are still very popular, I am certain that a lot of colleagues would buy such a product. Another alternative could be à Rycote Baseball or a BBG adapted to this stereo set. Hope the manufacturers are reading this thread ...

cineli Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Dear Henrimic, David and everyone, If we succeed, the LEO may come in a new design...in a while. To be very simple: - it will not fit the MKH30+40/50 (definitely toooo big for the LEO). - there will be a version 2 x 20mm (For CMC + CCM8) - if we have enough requests, there could be a way to make a 25+19mm (MKH30+8050) !

Philippe Dear Philippe, Thanks for your answer to this thread and the quality of your products. If a 25+19 mm is released, consider that I will be the first customer to buy it !
