Title: Nakamichi CM-300 shock mounts
Post by: gdplusmore on July 22, 2005, 03:05:23 PM

Can anyone recommend shock mounts which will fit nakamchi cm-300’s with cp-1 caps and cp-4 guns for three mic mix ?

I run standard Nak clips (came with bodies) or AT8410a shockmounts with only CP-1 or CP-2 caps.  With shotguns, I run the standard Nak clip.  I haven't run the shockmounts when using the shotguns since the unbalanced weights, angle, etc made it difficult.  Not sure if other shockmounts will work, never tried.

I used to use the 8410A mounts with the CP4s.  I would push the mount clip all the way to the back of the windscreen and use the weight of the cable to balance the mic in the suspension cage.  May not be for every body but it worked for me.

I used the mount that can with the mic's for a long time.  The CP1 cap is easy to get the mic's in the right position and the CP4 is real difficult to get ballanced and positioned.  I got a pair of SABRA (SSM1) stock mounts last summer and the issues switched.  The CP1 is hard to get the mic's in the right position and the CP4 easy. So now I use the stock mount for the CP1 and the SABRA for the CP4.
