The anthracite B 1 D Popscreen from Schoeps has a deceptively simple outward appearance. As with the B 5 D and the basket-type windscreens, the sound inlets of the microphone are enclosed by a volume of air.

The B 1 D Popscreen is most effective in the axial direction; thus it is offered as a popscreen rather than a windscreen. It is exclusively designed for axially-addressed capsules such as the MK 4, MK 41, and their CCM counterparts, rather than for the MK 6, MK 8, or any capsule or CCM with a V in its name.

It is as effective as the distinctly larger B 5 D, but as one might expect, it also has slightly more of an effect on sound quality.

Highly efficient popscreen

Q: 9. Is this different than the foam windscreen that's included with the CMC641? Thanks.

A: yes, these are different. the screens that come stock with Schoeps mics are the cheaper B5 screens, which are made from ALL foam. these B5D's have a hollow interior like a basket type windscreen, with a velvety foam exterior covering. the B5's will do fine if the mic setup isn't moving, but if you're using the mics on a boom pole, you'll want the B5D's, because they have better "wind" and movement protection vs the cheaper B5's. supposedly, you can hear a "swoosh" effect when moving the mics on a boom pole too quickly! however, I'm a "taper" who records live Audio music with a stereo mic setup, and I just bought these to use indoors if my mic stand gets bumped or there are fans inside of the venue I'm recording at! so it depends on how you're going to use your mic/s. I hope that was helpful!
