Thanks again, Dan!
When I saw just how thin the AT4022's where, even with the foam screens, I =
realized that the furry screens for my Rode M3's just might fit. Had them o=
ut for loan and will bring them home today, but I'm very optimistic.
Will drop you a line tonight or tomorrow about the outcome. A cheap and smo=
oth alternative if it works. Bought them for 10 GB Pounds each, and if they=
 can do double duty, I'm quite happy.
