Microphone Shockmounts

Any recording artist would agree there is nothing quite as exciting as getting the perfect soundtrack of their song in studio. Any artist who performs on stage understands the rush of delivering crystal clear vocals to their adoring fans. In both of these cases, a high-end microphone is necessary to reach the full audio capability. A microphone shockmount plays a big supporting role in delivering the flawless output an artist requires from their microphone. A shockmount is a mechanical fastener attached to the microphone that uses elastics to absorb unwanted vibrations. A microphone is incredibly sensitive to sound and has a long range in order to give the artist the best possible presentation. However, along with enhancing vocals, a microphone can also pick up unwanted feedback from drums or amplifiers, artist's movements, and mechanical noises from the stand. A standard shockmount will prevent these unwelcome noises and ensure that every sound the microphone picks up is pure, clear audio.

A shockmount is important on the stage and even more so in the recording studio. Recording equipment is highly sensitive and could pick up something as simple as a person walking by or a phone ringing at the time of recording. The more cuts of a song that need to be taken, the more money and time are spent. A good quality shockmount is a simple, lightweight solution to assist everyone from the artist to the sound engineers. The Musician's Gear Studio Microphone Shock Mount is specifically geared towards studio recording as it fits most large condenser mics and has a mount to attach to any microphone boom. However, if you're geared more towards live stage performances, a more portable option like the Shure A53M Shock Stopper is a good choice. Studio or stage, every stellar performance starts with top-notch equipment. It's surprising that such a small, compact device like a shockmount can play a large part in transforming good sound into something phenomenal. Compare your song with and without a shockmount and hear the difference!
