Title: Neumann KM series shockmounting??
Post by: cleantone on March 09, 2004, 09:52:25 AM

I've been putting off shockmounts long enough. Do I really need to get the Neumann mounts? What are some alternatives? Experience with any, using KM Neumanns?

thanks

are you talking 140's or 184's?

The 180 series! 184 to be presise, there the silver ones too if that matters for shockmounting ;D

hahahaha, the at's are good as long as you dont care about the profiling.  while the neumann mounts are well made, they are rediculously expensive.

this is a pic of my home made shock mount system.  it can go either vert. or hor. to fit all needs...sorry this picture isn't the best, but should help offer other ideas for using shock mounts.

ya know...check into the Shure dougnuts...since the 184's are short they may suit you well.

peace
