Re: [Harp-L] Shure SM57 microphone questions

Use some heat shrink of the appropriat diameter. MAKE SURE you use a peice 
that is longer than you need .....(this protects the ellement from 
heat).....shrink it gently and use a slightly danp cloth to wipe it and cool 
it quickly then carefully cut it to the length that suits you. I'm 
personally not sure but.... I beleive you have to vent (put holes in the 
heat shrink) behind the element for air flow. (Anyone)
I use a Senheiser 604. wich has no issue with  screen noise but is somewhat 
narow like the 545 and the 57. I use a peice of foam pipe insulation  which 
makes it easier for me to hold.
I took my mic to the hardware store to fit it.

CAUTION/DISCLAMER Dont ruin your mic TOO MUCH HEAT can do

I too would be interested in hearing about any other solutions to the 
handling noise problem related to the rotating grill, although I use an 
SM545-SD.

Thanks.
