MXL 41-603 Shockmount

Amazing Shockmount

I decided to get this shock mount for my pencil mics (mainly ADX51).

I've been using these shock mounts (as well as other MXL shock mounts I have) on every recording session since I got them.

Durable, easy to adjust, and easily fixable (rubbers will be needing a change after a year or so of heavy use).

Does its Job very well

I was using the shock mount with the Audio Technica AT 875 R mounted on the K&M 27105. In order for the unit to fit on the K&M mount I had to use the supplied plastic adapter. For reference this is my first and only shock mount

I have been using this product for about 2 years now and during that time I have used it on approximately 30 occasions. The product is still going strong do not foresee any problems. Ultimately this stems from a robust simple yet effective design

The clamping mechanism itself is firm (but not unreasonably hard) which although may be considered as a negative for some gives confidence that the microphone is secure

The clap holding the microphone in place is covered in a thin dense foam which protects the microphone from scratch fixes it in place so it wont slide out when clamped in position and reduces vibrations further.

The elastic suspended the microphone appears to do the job more than adequately assisting in the production of quality audio.

For me the biggest disappointment was plastic (as opposed to metal) adapter supplied with the shock mount although crucial.

Overall very happy with item

Not suitable for 19mm mics.

Wouldn't hold my 19mm Rode NTG-3. Probably for 21mm and up.
