So far I have ordered 5 of these AT8410A shock mounts. They work GREAT for microphones in a home studio like the Behringer XM1800S or a Sennheiser e935. I have had the shock mounts mounted on a Heil PL2T boom arm and on K&M floor stands and they DRAMATICALLY cut down on the accidental microphone stand contact noise. There is still some minor noise but it is far far far less than without using one. They are easy to use, easy to mount and have been durable so far.My only caution is to not buy t...

I mounted a shotgun in this mount and mounted the mount on the little accessory slot on top of a Sony HandiCam. Then I "handled" the camera like crazy and got only very low frequency, low gain, booms when I actually hit the camera with my fingers. The sound of the actual finger slap was not heard; only a low "boom" sound when I hit the camera where shock mount.and the shotgun.were mounted. If I slid my fingers across the camera to make a hissing sound then it didn't pick up anything. I like t...

This mount has very little compliance in the Z-axis (end to end). That is to say, it's not a good mount for a pencil condenser. But there's a lot of compliance in the X-axis (crosswise), so it's easy for a mic to 'wobble' side to side. It works well with *side-address* microphones, particularly the Royer R-121 and Josephson e22S. Well worth the price for those.

I am using two of these with a pair of CAD GXL1200 Cardioid Condenser Microphones. They hold the mics securely. I'm glad I found them because CAD does not make a shock mount for the GXL1200.If you do not need to handle the microphone or shock mount during recording, such as to adjust the distance for live radio work, then these are perfect. The clamp does not open wide enough to accommodate most handheld mics or, especially, large vocal condensers.

If I don't take the price into account, this shock mount is good value. It is well crafted and well designed.If I do take the price into account, it is an AMAZING value.That said, I ended up returning it because it didn't fit my Microphone. How I wish it had,,,If your microphone will fit snugly in this shock mount, it's certainly worth the purchase price.
