Podium Microphone cover?

My meeting house sacrament podium microphone cover has gone missing. Any ideas how I get a new one? Is there a make/model I can order?

Let your FM Group know through the Physical Facilities Representative (PFR), who is probably a high councilor. A member of your bishopric will also be able to report it using FIR.

The FM Group takes care of the microphones in meetinghouses.

Podium mics have covers? I don't recall seeing one. I don't think our FM group got any.

I've been to several hundred meetinghouses and have never once seen a cover... That's a one off so I wouldn't expect it to get replaced. I wonder if a member at that building decided to fashion a cover of some sort to donate, or found a cover of some sort and thought that it might work well to cover the podium to discourage children from playing around with the mic and podium stuff.

I thought they were talking about the small foam windscreen

If so, those foam windscreens/p-traps are not part of the new microphones anymore. The new ones I have been installing from Audio Technica do not come with them and i haven't seem them in quite some time.

My apologies to zachunderwood who posted the original question. He included links to two photographs with his post that, as a moderator, I deleted because the links also displayed commercial content that is not acceptable at the forum. If he would like to post the photographs or links again, one of the moderators will try to strip the actual pictures out of the links and allow them to display here.

This was not a foam windscreen cover and was larger than the microphones seen in most chapels today. It appeared that a hard cover or wire mesh cover was missing from the microphone assembly that protected the inner workings of the microphone. I would expect that the FM Group would know what type of microphone it was and be able to assist in a replacement. That is why I recommended contacting them.

I too have a new setup in our stake center, looking for a foam windscreens/p-trap for the new Audio-Technica Microphone. It doesn't come with one but wondering if anyone has seen/purchased a compatible one.

I would also appreciate some direction for a pop filter (foam cover) or similar solution.
We have a new-ish set up and we get alot of pops :/
We have the solid mesh metal microphone cover but it hasn't been enough.
It's an audio-technica ES905L.

We purchased a foam microphone cover that goes over the pulpit microphone. You just have to measure the dimensions (diameter and depth) and purchase a foam windscreen, that matches the measurements. (We purchased one with an inside diameter of 1" and inside depth of 2 1/4" and it worked fine.

All:

If you are having popping issues with your audio-technica pulpit mic (black, not brown), and the mic element is about 1" or so in diameter, the Church discontinued installation of that model a few years ago due to the popping issue you are all noticing.

You have a couple of options:

• Order an AT8159 windscreen from audio-technica. It will fit over your existing mic element and help with the plosive popping issue.
• If this doesn't fix the problem to your satisfaction, ask your FM manager to replace that mic with the newer AT model, which has a larger screen element (closer to the size of a golf ball). The new mic performs better in that regard.

Hope this is helpful.

Also search on Amazon.

Generally speaking, you shouldn't need one for the new AT mics, but if you are confident it will improve things, go for it.
