Title: Shock mounts for Nak cm300's
Post by: charles on January 22, 2005, 04:15:41 PM

What shock mounts will work for cm300's?

With or without guns? Nak Guns wreak havoc on most shockmounts.

The AT 8410's work OK with the guns. They droop a little, but not bad. For the bodies with caps try the Beyer mount, very low profile and a good shockmount. B&H has them. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&A=details&Q=&sku=108255&is=REG.

i bought a pair of these pencil mxl's from someone on the board for a cheap price, but havent used them that much.  The cm300 body seems to be light enough for these
rather skimpy frames - but I'm concerned that the base of the mount might crap out on me.  So far so good though....

AT8410a's for CP-1.
CP-4, I run the standard Nak clips that came with the mics.
Make up for any "drooping" by reversing the angle of the mount, assuming it's adjustable.

I've used 8410's with CP4's and compensated for the droop by using rubber bands on each mount. Hard to describe, but play with it a little and you'll see what to do.

I bought the tensi mounts from JDM in the yard sale not too long ago, and they seem to work fine for my Nak CM300's.  I am not sure if the Tensimounts are to shockmounts as Core Sound Binarauls are to microphones, but they work fine for what I use them for.

Worth checking out.  They are really affordable.

I use both 8410's and the shure a53's for my Naks.

I'll second that notion...I've used the AT's, Sure A53M's (now with my MG's) and the standard Nak clips. Also they make these clips that are rubber and somewhat flexible but rigid enough to hold up the guns. Being a rubber type compound prevents light scuffing of the mic bodies. I found these are any music store (Guitar Center, etc) for only a few $'s per clip. Good replacement for the old stock Nak clips.
