Topic: microphones and magnets ?

they look nice, but too large.

They're actually some of the smallest one's I've seen that work. Most of the other one's I've seen that are smaller don't tend to work well. I like that they are nearly impossible to damage and the rubber rings are cheap.

I'm curious in what way you think they are too large?

I thought along Nick's lines, but that doesn't count 'em out for me.  If they work and I need 'em, I'll gladly use 'em.

Curious if you think the AT8410/15's are no good, Wayne?  My 8410's serve me very well...

The element 115  (or ununpentium (Uup)) could be machined into mic clips which would create a reaction from being transmuted with an additional proton from 115 to element 116 which immediately decays and releases antimatter. When the element becomes so heavy as to have 115 protons and lands within an island of stability, the cumulative strong nuclear force or "Gravity A-wave" radiates or extends past the perimeter of the atom.  We can access this gravity and amplify it, lensing it to counter act the gravity of the microphones and naturally propogate them above the floor.

You really Bob Lazar?    Sounds like ya could be...  but are ya?

I have a pair of the AT8410's myself as well as the PSC one's. Both work well, but the PSC mounts are much smaller than the AT mounts.

Wow, I would've NEVER guessed that from the photos.  Thanks for the tip!  Do you think the PSC mounts work better?

they look like it would be a nightmare to mound a small pair of condensers any other way than DIN or NOS.
you need a small mount to to ORTF / XY w/something like 184s, or other short mics.

a long shockmount (and those look long) just done let enough of the mic hang out.
I often find the shockmounts get in the way of mounting as they touch one another and dont allow for the room I need.
drives me nuts.

Ouch...$56 for those puppies.

Honestly....
I bet ANYONE here could not tell an A/B comparison with and w/o shockmounts in any live rock concert setting where the noise floor is around 90db to start.
w/the exception of someone banging on your stand with their key chain or something.

^ I do a ton of split omni on stage recording where the shock mounts are crucial.  Oftentimes due to the bass amp and drum kit there's a lot of bounce & vibration on the stage.  Once I got screwed that way not using shock mounts.  Never again.  So it all depends on what you're doing...

Nick's Picks, for comparison with the shocking $56 cost for a shock mount, please see the attached excerpt of a January, 2007 price list from a top-grade European manufacturer. In recent months the dollar has been falling relative to the Euro, so next year we may look back at these prices with fond nostalgia ...

Wow!  $20 for a rubber band!
