I use Beta58a wireless mics they HATE to be cupped. I am going to print this and add it to my books.

Okay... who here might know a novelty fabricator?

I will order a half dozen of these if they could be made as a slip-on, rubber (read soft, blunt), imitation of the real barbed-wire.

I would keep them handy for when I know the song or singer is "cup-prone" and then I'd simply slide it onto the mic and hand it to the singer.

Mission accomplished. :wink:

Ummm.... anyone know how to get blood out of my windscreen?

I was serious about the fake. it gets the message across in a humorous way and actually prevents them from truly cupping the head of the mic.

plus, my Sennheissers are solid and heavy, tossing them at someone could do serious bodily injury. :wink:

Use a Shure 55M Stage Mic
(old Elvis/Billy Holiday/Frank Sinatra style)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Polymorph-therm ... 198wt_1344

It's great because if you get it wrong,
you just heat it up and start over.
It's base could be a mains flex.
Would probably need to paint it with latex rubber to soften the points and glue in position.

The polymorph on it's own is fantastic stuff.
It sets rock hard and if thin, is flexible.
Great for repairing stuff and prototyping.
Very strong.

Really cool stuff. I've used that in our Haunted House
