Topic: Oktava MC-012 shockmounts?

[ChoobieWoobie]

I'm sure many of you bought the oktava's from GC.  As you know, the shock mounts that they offered as an option are horse shit.  Can anyone recommend something more durable and reliable?

Check the archives...there are a variety of shock mounst for various mics, all of whihc are better than the GC ones.

Some pics at the bottom of the thread of Octavas in Schoeps mounts.  A little expensive but very versatile and a low profile.  The clamps that come with the Octavas fit in them and so does the mic.

sorry to bounce on the end here -- but what windscreens do you guys recommend for the MC-012s ??

[Brian]

The bigger DPA ones for SD's .... U0896 i think is the serial #

edit: FWIW these puppies worked great in low-to-heavy moderate wind.  i never had a problem but i never taped in super high winds.  A lot of people like the shure w81 screens as well.....

Chiming in kinda late but i just recently upgraded from mk012's and i was running AT 8410's and DPA's windscreens which i now run w/ my 480's.  The shure windscreens will also work as well as the AT 8415's and Shure A53M's shockmounts.

I use the Shure a53m's for my Mc012'sand they work great!!
