Microphone Shock Mount Mic Holder For Samson Q2U SM58 ATR2100-USB Behringer Xm8500, Mic Clip Holder Mount for Diameter 28mm-32mm Dynamic Microphone Like AT2005-USB PGA48 PGA58, Boseen

I'm using this with a Sennheiser e835 and it fits perfectly. The sound isolation is remarkably good for such an inexpensive mount and the build quality seems pretty good. It came with a spare set of cords which is sensible.Now that I have lived with it for a while I wanted to post an update. I have it mounted to a small rig ballhead and that is on a King Joy mini tripod base sitting on my desk. To be fair this is a far from ideal situation; however it is what it is.I get excellent isolation from knocks and bangs on the desk so my typing doesn't transmit as thunder - only the clicking of the keys. However I get absolutely no isolation from the motor vibration from my backup drive. I don't hear the head noise - only a constant droning from the platter motor for as long as that is spinning. As a test I laid the microphone directly on the desk and get exactly the same level of sound.If this were an expensive Neumann mount I would be upset but, at this price point, I can't really complain. Just be aware that you may want to re-locate your backup drive to another surface if you use this mount!

Works very well.

IF YOU HAVE A BLUE EMBER YOU WILL HAVE TO SCRATCH ONE SIDE OF THE MIC BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE PADDING IN ORDER FOR THE MIC TO FIT. So if you have the blue ember it will scratch. Other than that, it's a good alternative to the blue s3 which is the only shock mount that fits but its like the same price as the microphone. It works okay but not amazingly. The mic still picks up a decent amount of vibration but its still a ton better than without the shock mount. Overall its a 4/5 because the mic scratched and it still picks up a decent amount of vibrations.

This shock mount is well made, but does require a strong hand to open the center collar enough to insert the microphone body. I noticed that any of the poor ratings were from people who failed to squeeze the collar opening wires enough to insert a microphone. The extra included elastic cords were also appreciated. The original elastic cords will wear out after many years. I will seal my extra elastic cords in plastic so they are not subject to oxygen induced breakdown. The shock mount worked very well in minimizing sound induced bumps.

This is a very sturdy prduct. I am happy with its solid construction, made with solid welds and very functional. This works great with the S358.

This is very good shock mount mic holder. I have several and this is one of the very best I own. It is tight but that’s good. I like that they send extra bands.

I'm using with a Sanken CUX-100k which is a high resolution Ultrasonic mic based on the CO-100k often used by Sound Designers because of its resolution and range of 20hz-100khz. The diameter of the mic is 30cm so it's a bit unusual. Sanken has a $350 shockmount but I thought I'd give this a try first. Surprisingly it works great! It's a tight fit and I do need to squeeze the front two shockmount prongs pretty tight so the center opens up enough for the mic to fit. The center has foam inside so it won't damage or scratch any mic you insert.

The "spanner levers" (I made up that term; don't know what they're actually called) stretch the "mic grip" (made up that term, too) in order to fit a microphone inside. I use a Samson Q2U, similar in diameter to a Shure SM 58. When I squeezed the spanner levers to get my mic in, one of them slipped from its mount, leaving no way to open the mic grip. I reinserted the spanner lever several times without success. Finally, using two pairs of plyers, I reshaped the spanner lever to fit more firmly by widening it and bending the hooks to a more acute angle. That did the trick, although I still had to twist and turn the mic so hard it almost tore the padding inside the mic mount. That and the newly shaped spanner lever still teetered on the brink of slipping out again. But it finally worked. The good news is, that mic ain't goin' NOWHERE! But I don't know what I'll do to get it out, or to insert another mic.Either the spanner levers should consist of stronger steel—perhaps spring steel—or the mic grip should be less "grippy." I would think the former because holding the mic firmly in place is important.Once my mic was in place, the shock mount seems to work well, blocking out most all shocks and bumps.
