SSM 5 : Very pleased

5 years ago

I use it for a SDC condenser mic (sE7) for Cajon tapa. It is not completely necessary for may application (tapa mic has already a Low Cut applied quite high so it eliminates any rumble picked by the mic), but it further eliminates vibrations which is quite nice.

Cons: a foam padding would have been great for the grip. I tried it on a Rode M2 mic and it got scratched because the grip has an exposed screw head that scratches any mic since you have to slide the mic in the grip. I solved it by tightening the screw and putting a small quantity of Sanitary Silicone over the exposed head to avoid scratching the mics. I don't know how long will it work until I will have to put another quantity of silicone.

The device is great. The above mentioned issue is a glaring omission but for the price it's great.
