highly recommended that for vocal applications, an external foam windscreen
be used over the ball grille. This will prevent the buildup of saliva and perspira-
tion on the cartridge diaphragm, which degrades performance and shortens the
useful life of the microphone. This will also eliminate wind noise when the mic is
used in a windy outdoor environment.
