DIY Shock Mount For Stealth-Sized Mics
« on: August 06, 2005, 04:02:29 PM »
Hi All!

I own a set of Microphone Madness mics and after looking around could not find a set of shock mounts that would fit the size of my microphones  (at least not any at a price that I wanted to pay.)  So, I searched around the internet for DIY shock mounts and found something similar to the ones I eventually made (I since then cannot find the guy's site to give him credit for the original design, but I will as soon as I find out.)  For those of you who are DIYers and want to make some shock mounts, I've decided to post directions on how to make a set of shock mounts for stealth-sized mics.  Maybe I'll see another set of these at the next show I go to! 

EDIT:  I think this post was WAY too long, so I cut out the directions.  If you're interested in making these, just drop me an email and I'll send you the directions.

It's a n00b rig, but I still love it, 5 years later! I have no desire whatsoever to 'upgrade'. I figure it does a good enough job doing the task I want it to do (recording the music) so i'd rather take that $1000 and use it elsewhere... ;)

tyler- let me know if you want my instructions too, might help explain the pics a little.  Also, let us know about how you make the t-mount.  For my mount, I used a 6" flat corner iron which gives me a perfect 90 deg. angle, but I don't think the spacing is correct for NOS or DIN...

yeah I e-mailed you to get the directisons, I just e-mailed the address in your profile.. did you not get it? .. I'd appreciate it, thanks!

yeah for the T mount, not sure what i'm going to do..

what is a 6" flat corner iron? .. just a right angle of metal? are there eye holes in the edges of the L shape that the nuts can go through for the shockmounts? .. i'm sure i'll make something .. whether or not it works is another story! ;)
