"Protect yourself from germs! Mic prophylactics $3 @

I found a box of 25 for $25.

(BTW yes I know they're called windscreens)
 
Thanks Toqer! I agree with you 100%. I also bring alcohol swabs and hand sanitizer, have also used the spray.

I have caught so many viruses from customers, colds, flu and even pneumonia. The last one landed me in the hospital for a week. It is amazing to me how many people have to go out and sing regardless how sick they are.

I have to ask where did you find 25 wind screens for $25.00?
 
I'll offer the same deal on windscreens.... errr... prophylactics for you. Typically we offer a 7 pack (one of each color) for $9.99... but for my ODJT friends we'll make it a box of 25 for $25 for you. :)

PS - Noteworthy that the EV N/D-767 mic has a hydrophobic screen inside to reject water (and other liquids) away from the element.
 
Offer me free shipping like this guy and you got a deal NorthernLights.

I also have a singer that works for a foam facade company (You know, fake columns for buildings, what not) He's going to ask his company if they can produce windscreens, maybe we can get them nice and cheap for all.

Thanks JTV. For those that actually want windscreens designed for the audio industry that use acoustically transparent foam... we have ours. Net cost with shipping... about $6.00 more (.24 per windscreen). For those looking for the cheapest price, I think Toger has found it for you.

Actually, I think we'll offer a 28 pack (4 of each color) for $28 plus shipping = landed total of $34.00. That would be a net cost of $1.21 per windscreen. If you're able to sell them at gigs for $3, that's a REALLY good markup. Maybe I'm missing the boat selling them at a $0.19 markup. LOL.

What are the Pros and Cons of using mic windscreens?

Aside from reduceing wind noise and plosives, those are the obvious.

Also, question for northernfxlighting.... Can we get your package in 2 colors only... for example Blue and Red. The reason I ask might be obvious but I'll say it anyway... Using two different colors on each mic makes it easier to tell which mic a person has in relation to my mixer so.... if the person using the mic in turn or not can be easily identified and I can kill the mic if they are abuseing it.

Are they washable?

Yes, I will honor that price in any combination of the 7 available colors. We have Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Purple, and Black available.

I guess how "washable" they are depends on how dirty they get. ;)

in a multiple mic FOH situation having mics that are color coded using windscreens (not usually used) or having a strip of electical tape on the bottom helps the FOH engineer identify the mic quicker to make adjustments :)

I ran the house rig at the theater at Six Flags Great Adventure in NJ last night. 4 SM58's with the SLX recievers, which were about 200 feet away from eachother. Those are some kick-ass mic/reciever combos. Anyway, thats what we did, as we had mics all over, so we knew which was which. Made it very easy to change the settings on the Mackie SR24-4, which I fell in love with so much I bid on one on eBay last night.

For a Six Flags, they had one killer system, 4 EAW dual 18 Subs, pair of EAW tops flown in the center, 2 pairs of coupled EAW tops (2 left, 2 right), Macrotech 1200's, 2400's and 5000's, dbx compessors/limiters, EAW proccessors, and the SLX mics. Proably one of the nicest FOH systems I've used in a while.
 
I like the 24-4, but why not a berhringer which will give you practically the same same, features, for less price... My FOH rig is going to consist of a Yamaha M7CL.

Chris, I've used Bigger & Bigger FOH systems all the time, including the D&B Line Array, a DigiDesign D-Show Board (retails for about 80 grand)

Wonder where they get it? ;)

I guess I am allowed to say that we just added Dollywood. LOL. Basically if you've been to a theme park in Orlando, Buena Park, Ohio, Shakopee, Hershey, or a few other places you may have seen or heard a product we sold them.

The point with these folks is that they require SERVICE. They will NOT screw around with a cheaper price because in the end it does not save them money. They are VERY careful about qualifying their vendors and then developing a relationship. A purchase order just shows up by e-mail or fax and their product goes out. Just like clockwork. We have our technical services team ready to assist them whenever there is a need and they know that. But mostly they have their OWN people on staff to administer the product maintenance, etc. Yet they STILL value the vendor because they know how important those products are to their business.
