Topic: LSD2 shockmount recs?

[Teen Wolf Blitzer]

Well I realized I bumped an Archive topic so I thought I should post this hear.  Referring to Nicks thread..

http://taperssection.com/index.php/topic,79329.0.html

It looks like the shock's loose a bit where Nicks broke.  Can anyone recommend a solid replacement shock for the lsd2?  Or I also read of the replacement part for the shock?  Is that offer still good?  I just don't feel safe running the mic in this shock for fear it's gonna break all the way.  Thanks for any help.

Just unscrew the whole bottom piece off the shockmount & screw it on your stand. Much more stable.

It works perfect for me. My bands are tight, don't have the sag problem.

What Kindguy says is the best way to go if you don't need to tilt it.

But, a couple months ago I contacted PMI through the support link on their webpage and they shipped me a replacement for free within days.  And mine wasn't even broken, just a PITA to keep tight.  The replacement is not ideal, but much more solid.

Cool.  Thanks guys.  I send an email to SP.  For now i'll just take it off the bottom piece.

And while I have your attention guys what do you store/transport your mic with.  I was thinking one of these...

Seem like the perfect size.  Thoughts?

I use a heavy-duty poster mailing tube that I cut down to match the LSD2 in length.  With the windscreen on, it makes for a nice, tight, padded fit.  But that tupperware looks pretty cool.

I like a nice single malt case w/a little padding.


but, the windscreen works too.  just stuff the whole thing in the bag, and leave it on top.

I use a crown royal bag (handle bag) With the windscreen on, works perfect. Sits in it's own shelf in the sonicase.

If anyone needs a handle bag I can get them from my local watering hole. they have a basket of them in the back.

Yeah, the mount on the LSD2 sucks. I simply removed mine and attach it directly to the stand/clamp. I hated how all the weight of the mic rested on that one tiny screw. Bad design. I too wrote SP and they sent me a replacement at no cost.

I cut a piece of PVC pipe to length with a couple of caps.  Have the mic in two windscreens and wrap with bubble rap.  I'll post a pic if I get a chance.

When I owned one, I bought an extra windscreen from PMI and then used both of them on the mic at the same time when it was in my bag.  Together, they fit over the whole mic perfectly.

How much are the windscreens? Double windscreen is a good idea.
