Topic: LSD2 shockmount recs?

[SmokinJoe]

My mount was really pissing me off a couple of nights ago.    Hanging out over the balcony rail, I had to use the adapter to get the angle of the dangle right, but it wouldn't stay tight...  I've got to come up with something else at some point...  I think it's time for a six pack and a welder...

Have you written to PMI Audio and gotten the replacement piece?  My replacement stays tight just fine.

yes...but its VERY tight.
I had to bend mine open a little bit to make it fit.
I mean VERY tight.

the original LSD shockmount was better, and still available.  its the mount for the C series.

Is there an email to do this?  All my emails to Studio Projects have gone unreturned.  Over 6 sent.

When they replaced mine (which I think is the one SmokinJoe is using now  ), I went to pmiaudio.com and sent them a message through the "contact us" link. 
They were very quick and helpful when I dealt with them through that contact.

Yeah, that's what I did too.  If that hasn't been working for you, PM me and I'll give you Justin Hyatt's email.

That part of it is fine.  The trouble I was fussing with the other night was just that the pivot point screw didn't tighten down enough to maintain the angle of the dangle.  It kept wanting to slip down so that instead of the mic being vertical it was dangling down by a few degrees, because the weight of the mic was naturally trying to unscrew that little screw (because it was upside down, rightside up it naturally tightens).  I'm pretty sure if I just tightened it hard enough it would have held OK, but there is always the possibility I might have broke or stripped it at the show.

I grabbed a generic LD mount off ebay for $20... I'm expecting to mod/cut/weld it as necessary.  I think in the end it will be ugly but bombproof, which is fine for me.  Then I'll leave the stock mount in the case.

Hey Mark wish I had seen this before I brought your pre back, I'm not sure but it looked like the LSD-2 was about same diameter as my ADK A51s, those shock mounts have been working out well for me, all metal no plastic.  You're welcome to try one of mine and see how it fits, Kirk

If you are having a hard time getting in touch with Studio projects...  Call this phone number...  310-323-9050  ask for Jered.  I'm not sure exactly what Jered's job is, but he seems to know what's going on, and I expect he will at least put you in touch with someone who can help you, rather than dropping the ball.
