Topic: Recommend me some new shock mounts for my AKG 480s

[wbrisette]

I mentioned these in another thread. They are a bit pricey, but they are light and the bands are dirt cheap to replace if you need to ever replace them.

i too am sick of the AT8410a.

how heavy are we talking here? i'm affraid with the shocks and shure vert i could be dealing with some serious weight.

FWIW, the avantone mounts weigh 8.6 ounces each.

Bumpers for people looking for mounts.

I guess I could make a shock mount with something like this:

and run it through the middle of one of these below and just use the factory clips to reduce weight.

Bumping this for those looking

[John Willett]

The best will definitely be the new Rycote INV-7 from their new "InVision" studio range.

Will take any SDC from 19mm to 25mm in diameter.



Not only are they virtually unbreakable - they are technically better than most manufacturer mounts - and at a price you will be surprised at (ie: very low). 

In the shops soon - I am definitely going to change all my SDC shockmounts for this new range.

who sells those Rycote shockmounts?

My only complaint to those John is that they are freaking HUGE footprint!   For the same size or a bit smaller i'd go with the 8410's.

It depends on what is more important to you - small size or effective shockmounting.

In tests so far, the Rycote outperform everything else as far as I am aware.

Agreed but is there such a thing as overkill?

Actually - in the flesh they are quite unobtrusive - a lot more so than most other shockmounts I have seen.

And if you have a smaller mic. - the smaller ones are quite tiny.

I love this little mount.. Small and good will work foe 19mm-22mm I just bend them and hit with the heat gun for a second and hold Never a problem!

John +T for those Mounts... Senn was supposed to have their shock mounts for the mkh8000 but I can't seem to find them. What is the part number or the product code for those... I don't run the ext cables I use the xlr but I'm sure they sell the 19mm holder for the back as well...


Ok found it its the invision inv-3

Nice any Idea how much they cost?


Thanks again!
