Foam for Shiure microphone grilles

[Andrew Broughton]

Have several KSM9s that need the foam in the grilles replaced. Called Shure and they only sell the grille complete for $47. Our grilles are fine, they just need new foam, the right size of course...

You guys always seem to know where to find this sort of stuff, any suggestions?

Thanks!

How does the foam compare in shape to the foam of an SM58? A full 3rd party replacement grill is like 8 buck for an SM58 and you could just get one of those and take the foam out if that would work.

These are the closest I could get... I think they should be pretty darn similar, if not identical. For $8 it might be worth a shot.

** These are listed for a beta87 / sm87 / sm86 ... they should be much closer then foam for a 58.

The foam is more cylindrical than spherical so I don't think that'll work.

That looks like the right style. I'll order one to see. Thanks!!
