should i use that huge black windscreen on the C1 when i'm doing vocals? i plan on using my pantyhose pop filter...so how does that big black thing affect the sound?
 
I've never needed to used the big black fart filter that came with my SP C1... but, I'm glad I have it just encase I ever do. :D

I never used it either. Oh yeah... on time. I was out for 4 days, so I put it on the mic. ...ya know... to avoid getting dust on the mic

:)
 
Now that you mention it... I guess they are a nice over-night type dust cover... when you have to leave the mic setup. :D
 
using the pantyhose pop filter and the foam cover would be redundant. The foam covers are mostly usefull when you need pop reduction from several directions or when you might have air movement noise.
 
We have found with our singer that
using the big black monster cut down
on sibilance problems, i never use it with
acoustic recording.

the "big black monster" would be utilized when using the mic outside, as innovation pointed, to stop the wind blowing into the mic a bit....

(not that you'll use that mic outside much anyway)
 
i've been told it makes the C1 a little less bright. It makes it "warmer sounding". I've never heard it but someone told me that, give it a shot.
 
Thats exactly right, it does take some of the brightness off, its very noticable to me anyway..Bostonfan2
 
"to stop the wind blowing into the mic a bit" That's why I called it a big black fart filter... lol. :D

But seriously, the big black monster foam filter definitely kills the highs.
 
Yea the Big Black Monster, I like that name, Anyway it is used for Recording out side to help reduce the wind hitting the Capsul, Sand, or other objects that churns up when you are outside.
 
I used mine because I thought I was supposed to. D'oh. Got a nylon pop filter, works fine. The black monster IS for outside and if you use it, you might as well be using another mic, it changes the sound so much.
 
Well, the "Big Black Monster" does change to the sound... but, that might not be a bad thing for something. So what's the story about using LDC mic's outdoors in the wind... besides a nightmare?
