Bubblebee Industries The Spacer Ball

The 65 mm Bubblebee Industries Spacer Ball is a light spherical windshield for compact condenser microphones on a suspension.

Its smaller size keeps the weight low and the balance even on compact condensers such as the DPA 4018C, the Schoeps CCM and CMC series, and the Sennheiser MKH 8000 series, indoors and outdoors. For longer boom mics or stronger wind, the 100 mm Spacer Ball gives more volume.

It uses the materials of Bubblebee’s Spacer Bubble: a noise-free mesh outside, a tuned open-foam core, and a precision-made rubber base that grips the microphone. On its own, the mesh ball adds very little coloration and handles air-conditioning drafts, handling noise, and, helped by its round shape, the swoosh of quick boom swings. When the wind picks up, the long-haired fur cover slips over it, and its multi-pile, high-density fiber keeps the sound clear.

Three mount sizes fit more than 50 microphones: Small for bodies of 19 to 20 mm, Medium for 21 to 22 mm, and Large for 24 to 26 mm. The Sizing tab lists the microphones each mount fits. Each Spacer Ball comes with its fur cover and a mesh storage bag.
