New Music Gear Monday: Jupiter Accessories micozy Microphone Cover
A condenser microphone can be a fragile thing, attracting dust form the air onto the delicate capsule, which can result in a gradually deterioration of the mic’s performance. The options are to either remove each microphone from its stand after the session and place it in its individual hard case (which can be time-consuming), or to cover each microphone with a plastic bag or a sock, which is widely practiced but not the most effective method to protect your valued microphones. The solution every mic locker should have is a mic cover made exclusively for protection and that’s where Jupiter Accessories’ micozy™ comes in.
micozy is made of a material that can be stretched over the mic for a perfect fit and utmost protection from dusty, humidity, sunlight, hits and falls. The material is also waterproof to protect your mics from water splashes, which usually isn’t a concern unless your sprinkler system happens to go off or your session is beside a pool.
Jupiter Accessories has mapped over 500 different mics and made sure there’s a micozy for every large diaphragm mic out there (small diaphragm and handheld mics haven’t been addressed yet). The 13 sizes of micozys cover most popular mic shapes, although you can send them the exact model of your particular microphone and they’ll send you the correct cover if you’re not sure.
Prices are pretty reasonable at $29.99 to $39.99. You can purchase directly from the company (buy 2 and get free shipping). Check out the video below for more info.
