new design is easier to use and faster, with one drawback

By Ben
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2024-12-04

These tubes used to be round and threaded, and you would have to spin them several times until the pieces came apart. This new design uses square tubes and toothed guides that keep the tubes held together, but are easy to pull apart with a light tug. This makes them quick and easy to use, saving time and frustration. But on the downside there is no way to lock them in place, so it's possible to squeeze the mics too tightly. And someone could accidentally pull them apart and drop the mics if they weren't careful. Overall I recommend.

With there were short ones for the sennheiser 8040

These are great, a bit larger in diameter than the one that comes with the 8060. Nice for larger mics, wish there were smaller ones as good mics have shrunk lately.

Any suggestions on what to do with the foam windscreens once we put the mics in these cases?
Asked by: J
You would want to get a separate pouch to carry the windscreens in, such as this B&H # AUWMC100.

do these fit Oktava MC-012 mikes, which have a larger flange on the end of the capsule?
Asked by: Ted
Although not outright stated as compatible, the Rycote Microphone Twist Tubes (Set of 3) seem to be compatible with mics with a larger diameter than the diameter listed by Oktava for the MC-012 mic at its widest point. They should be able to fit.

Does this fit the Sennheiser MKH-50?
Asked by: German
The Rycote Mic Tubes (Long, 3-Pack) fit microphones that have a diameter of 19 to 25mm and the telescopic threaded design allows length extension from 7.9 to 13.4" for accommodation of various microphones. The Sennheiser MKH 50 has a 25mm diameter and it is 5.9" long, so it will fit inside of the tubes. The included foam inserts can be used to help cushion the microphone within the tube to provide a more secure fit, or can be used to separate multiple smaller microphones within a single tube.
