Re: schoeps pop screens

I switched from using the B20 to the B5D after doing a direct comparison of
mine and another recordists CCM41's without any windshield and they sounded
absolutely identical but (surprisingly to me) the B20 very noticeably
coloured the sound whereas the B5D did not, so I now use the B5D.

by a few DB due to the open air space inside, but the main reason I use

hollow windscreens is because they CAN'T fall off as I always had to put a
small piece of tape on the solid foam screens.

Anybody have experience with both the B5D hollow foam teardrop and the
B20 basket pop screen on an MK41 and can tell me if one of these two
color the sound less?

The B5 solid foam teardrop was for a long time my every-time pop
protection for stationary interior placements, but lately I've been
using the MK41 bare when possible and the sound is noticeably better
without a screen... until the interviewee launches a puff of air
upwards.

I imagine either of the B5D or B20 will be an improvement on the B5. I
just don't feel like paying for both to do my own comparison. So...
any opinions?

Thanks,

windtech make exelent double foam and good tear drops
the double foam or tear drop could be wrapped by mic muff so you can
work outside in moderate wind
