57 Shockmount : Decent, secure, good-value shockmount

9 years ago

I got this mainly to mount my AKG C-414 as the proprietary one costs an arm and a leg. This has a large enough diameter to fit it and holds it securely.

The attachement to the mic stand works fine and has a reasonable angle of adjustment.

I also use it to hold a Sennhieser MD421 (since that has one of the worst holder/clamps known to man) although a smaller diameter clamp will work for this.

Generally great for quickly clamping LDCs and large dynamics that otherwise have fiddly, stubborn or ridiculously expensive holders.

This was probably designed for a specific mic - I have no idea about that.
