Tensimounts or Superlux shocks?
« on: January 10, 2005, 12:58:39 PM »
I can't see shelling out 50 bucks for a mount right now....so I'm thinking about either tensimounts or the superlux shocks....both are cheap enough and I've read positive things about each....so which would you reccomend?

I'm also looking for a good T-bar any reccomendations...I plan on mainly running ORTF and XY

I use and love my superlux mounts. I would reccomend either the AKG KM235 or the Shure A53 bars. The shure bar is pricy though.

I just got the superlux mounts. I have'nt got to use them in the field yet but they look like they'll be perfect. I picked them up for $23 with extar set of bands. Super fast shipping!!! They got from Colorado to Nh in 3 days via USPS priority mail.

I used Superlux mounts for well over a year. Never had a problem, though Ive heard of many peoples breaking. I took mine all over the place. probably 50 shows in Pittsburgh, NYC, Bonnaroo, ect... and never had any problems. I think they are significantly smaller than the tensimounts also.

You can get the KM235 T bar at www.atomicmary.com for $20.00 shipped.  Best price on the 'net.  Very good people.  Quick ship.  I recommended them to everyone here and no one has had problems.

I have a pair of the Tensimounts.  The bands on them are very filmsy.  I was going to dump them, but they worked great for my mini mics.  I do recommend a pair of Audio Technica AT8415 universal shocks.  A lot of guys have them.  But they are a bit pricey.  So .....

I ordered my Tbar from Atomicmary thanks for the suggestion!

I will be running ADK SC-T's (that is if Teajay ever gets my first payment that I sent out like 2 week ago)

I think I'm going to order the Superlux ones because I can get 3 of em plus 2 sets of extra bands shipped for about 12 bucksless than one of the 8415's

Ya, I have 391s in Superluxes, they arn too snug, but they still fit okay. Ive borrowed Jef's 480s and they are a little bigger, I think that they would break the bands too often...

superlux mounts are very nice in my opinion - nice and low profile.  don't see myself using any other mount until i absolutely need to.

I got a pair of lux mounts second hand and the threads were practically worn out so it didn't take long for them to bite the dust... I ordered a new pair just now and they're fine. I really nice set of mounts and I will be using them until they need replacing... since they're so cheap, it can be easily done that way without losing your wallet...
