Yes, the Rycote Baseball Felt-Covered Windscreen (Black, 19/20mm, Single) will work with the Sennheiser MKH 8040 and MKH 8050 models. You will be able to use any shockmount that is compatible with these microphones as well.

question

What's the difference between this cavity-type baseball and the original one?
Asked by: Hans
This in fact the original rycote baseball. B&H sells size 21/22 as a single baseball as well as 3 pack. B&H can special order the other sizes. The Rycote Baseball comes in 19/20, 21/22 (green end-cap) and 24/25 variants, reflecting compatible microphone diameters in mm.

question

Will you be getting the 22mm size in stock, with the green seal?
Asked by: Lee M.
After speaking to the manufacturer, we should have the 22mm (green seal) version available for pre-order within the next month or so; cat# 039705.

question

Will this work with a Shure SM-58?
Asked by: Lock M.
Hi: thanks for your question! I'm afraid not: the head of the SM-58 is much too bulbous. Please see the following webpage for a list of compatible mics: http://rycote.com/microphone-windshield-shock-mount/baseball/. MF
