the t.bone SSM 5

Does what it meant to do

I'm recording myself in my bedroom, and the house where my flat is located isn't real new and any soundproof at any point. That's why I wanted to exclude any noises coming through cable hitting the membrane. I have a Shure SM58, so I bought this Shock Mount after a small research which should do, and after receiving and mounting it, it fitted perfectly. The plastic fills good, not premium, but not cheap either. So far, so good, all the records are flawless, noiseless in regards of non-source derived interferences. Would suggest mindlessly.

Nice shockmount

Nice shockmount. Can be tightened easily by hand and stays put when tightened. It has a mix of metal and plastic parts, but that's fine at this price.

Very pleased

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.

SHOCK? Not with these...

I bought some guest Behringer XM1800S mics and they are very cheap but useable for my needs... only issue is they are very sensitive to knocks so I bought three of these (which cost more than the mics) and they do a great job... the difference is noticeable although nothing could completely eliminate the sound transfer with these mics.

universal workhorse

this shockmount is very reliable, it will accept a lot of different microphones and it will do its job very well. You can find it under various brands, but this is the cheapest one, with the same quality.

It does the job very well

It has a very good fit on my ECM999 measurements mic and it also fits very well my AKG D5 too. For its price is very good indeed, definitely recommended.

The outer shock-mount is metallic (aluminum perhaps), so it is solid and should last.

I bought this one for Sennheiser E614, which is 20mm width. It holds OK. The main thing I was impressed with, this mount is sturdy and well built with metal. It's larger than it seems and heavier.

I've also used this for Shure SM58 and SM57 - it is even more suitable for these heavier mics than for E614.

The 3/8 adapter was included, which was not indicated in description.

Its metal!

made of metal for this price...

Clamp is tight and holds sm57 securely...

use quite a few of these for all mics cheap and do the job stops any noises coming from the stands

Blatant copy of the AT clamp, but for many , many euros less. Like them a lot.
