The Schoeps B 5 D is the classic and most popular pop shield from Schoeps. It is used in close-up speech, but also as a shield against mild wind or moving noise on the boom. It delivers good effectiveness with the lowest possible sound influence. It is made of foam, but is hollow inside, and thus encloses an air volume around the microphone capsule like a windscreen basket.
The foam of the B 5 D is mounted on a plastic carrier that sits firmly on the microphone. The foam thus does not touch the microphone, which reliably prevents any motion noise. The microphone should be pushed as far as possible into the B 5 D. Compatible with all axially addressed microphones from Schoeps.
Available in Colors Gray and Chroma Green, as well as Double Version (For R2C KC).
