Samson SP01 Spider Mount

I don't think I can say enough good things about the Samson SP01 Shockmount. Long story short I was trying to get a podcast going from scratch about three months ago. I did some research and discovered that a shockmount is necessary to keep any noise from anything securing the mic from being picked up by the mic while recording. A shockmount is an absolute must, especially when looking at using a tabletop mic stand where the table will also be used as a work surface.The build quality is fantastic. I just recently purchased my THIRD shockmount for an additional mic to be used on the podcast.What I've grown to appreciate so much is that it seems to fit just about any condenser microphone I can get my hands on. If you are considering buying this for your own condenser mic, make absolutely sure that your mic has threads on the bottom to be screwed into some type of stand or shockmount. Nearly all do, but some companies like Blue (Snowball, snowflake, etc.) are designed not to be used in conjunction with shock mounts. I have used the MXL 007.USB with this shockmount as well as the AT2020 USB and XLR version. The MXL fit like a glove, perfect. The AT2020, once threaded in, seemed just a bit loose, so I added a couple foam bumpers around the base to act as a washer. It made a tight fit and further insulated it from any sound interference from any movement.In short, I haven't found a better shockmount for condenser mics. The attachment screws onto any desktop tripod and traditional mic stand. Fantastic. Buy two of these!! :) Thanks Samson, now just make better mics!

This was the first shock-mount that I had ever purchased. I did a -lot- of searching for what would best be used with my AT2020 (USB) microphone and I was very happy that this was what I ended up getting. It sustained quite a few years and the issues that came up with it felt fitting for how long it lasted.Pros:The metal rings/bars that make up the main structure are sturdy and didn't present any type of bending/breaking.The firmness of the threading into the microphone was fantastic. I didn't experience anything shaking or dropping of the microphone once it was tightened and in place.This item lasted far longer than I thought. None of the components experience any major problems that made it unusable even after 2-3 years of consistently being used.Cons:After about 2-3 years one of the bars welded to the outer ring came off. This didn't really impact its usage, but it seemed fair for how long it lasted.The elastic bands had weakened over time. The microphone was almost always sitting at the same angle and started drooping. Although, this was still supported and didn't seem to have any negative impact on shock absorption.

I used this to create a shockmount for my Zoom H2N which I used for many years for audio books, trainings, etc.The trick for mounting an H2N in this is you just need to go to the hardware store and pick up some rubber and metal fender washers and a good 1/4" screw that fits. After that, you can easily mount the H2n, windscreen and even a USB cable or so to it. The benefit?Well, it's pretty substantial as long as you do it correctly (ie, nothing is touching the mic that is directly coupled to the stand).The benefit is that if you accidentally hit your stand or if something is vibrating the desk or stand, that it won't translate into your audio nearly as much as if it were directly mounted to the stand or whatever.To best demonstrate the difference, once you have it setup. Put the mic in the mount and then tap the stand with your fingers. If the mic is suspended correctly, you'll hear the sound probably, but then make one change. Take a pen or something that's solid and connect the mic to the stand. You don't even have to make a "great" connection between the two. Then, simply tap the stand the same way again. You'll notice in the recording that the tapping is SIGNIFICANTLY louder in the one without the mount whereas the tapping with the mount might very well be impossible to hear at normal volumes.This will prevent jarring sounds in your audio and is most useful in "live" or "near live" recordings where you're not going to be able to go back and correct mistakes or whatever.If nothing else, it looks cool, so if you're looking for that - well, here ya go :)There aren't really any problems with it, so 5 stars!

works great. much better build quality and more absorption than the cheap $10-15 generic chinese shockmounts on amazon. the finish isn't perfect around where the joints on the metal are, but for the $ you cant beat it. i'm going to paint it to match the rest of my setup anyway, so a little sanding to get it perfect is no big deal.my AT2020 rotates/spins freely in it when fully tightened to the base. if you want to prevent this and keep the microphone from spinning you need to install one of these into the base before mounting the microphone:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K88Q7LS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1this ring fits perfectly, looks factory, prevents movement of the mic, and is rubber so it wont scratch the base or microphone.

Very effective shock mount. Well made, has no plastic parts except the knob.It will not fit MXL flat bottom mic's like MXL550, as received. But, if you are mechanically inclined, remove the mic locking screw by carefully prying it out from the bottom using a flat blade screwdriver. Then obtain two rubber "O" rings about 7/8" inside diameter with 1/8" thickness. Stretch them, one at a time, onto the outside of lock nut that fits into bottom of shock mount. This acts as a spacer to take up slack when screwed onto 550. Put the 550 into mount and carefully screw the bushing (lock nut) onto mic and snug it up till mic is secure. Be careful not to cross thread when starting to screw it on. Another way would be to put bushing through hole in bottom of mount and hold it whilst turning mic until snug.Works well for me.There is another source of mechanical noise that can get to the mic. The cable will often contribute additional noise when moved or bumped. What I have done is, buy some super flexible, very limp, mic cable and install male & female XLR connectors on a two or three ft. piece to act as a buffer between the mic & regular cable. Tape or clamp cable to the stand with just enough free to make a small loop plugged into mic. This will remove another source of mechanical noise reaching the mic. Really works well.

No one really supports the G Track Pro condenser mic officially, so I took a chance with this shockmount after looking at reviews and browsing numerous forums. The mount itself seems well put together, but the paint finish on the metal pieces leaves a little to be desired. It makes the mount look cheap, when it is in-fact very sturdy. This thing does not give.As I mentioned before, the G Track Pro is not officially supported, but it does fit. After 20 minutes of intense frustration, I just took the knobs off the G Track Pro and slid the mic in to screw it on. With a careful touch and flathead screwdriver, this is extremely painless. Once I had installed it into the mount, I put the knobs back on the mic.It is important to note that the microphone will not be perfectly aligned with anything on the mount. It must sit in-between the inner supports to actually fit once you’ve screwed it on. This looks a little funny, but ultimately doesn’t matter. The sound I get is much better as it doesn’t pick up my mouse on the desk as much, and certainly isolated the desk moving or any other weird thing that can move the mic while playing a game or using it to record music or other audio.With a careful hand you can take your G Track Pro from the desk to a mic arm and really elevate your audio for a stream or for studio recording. I recommend the product completely once I overcame that initial barrier.

Pros: Great product. Keeps my keyboard strokes from affecting my microphone (desktop stand).Mounts easily, securely, is adjustable.Cons: Not that adjustable. But at least it's sturdy and uses standard 5/8"-27 threads, so you can add a flexible arm or gooseneck later if you prefer.Also the price is fairly high. I'd like to see it to around 20$. Right now it's too steep, but you get what you pay for, and it's cheaper than other solutions while being more compatible.Conclusion: Good, but if you can get it below 25$ it's well worth it, and below 20$ it's a steal!Tip: if you want it to be even more adjustable, check a gooseneck that is 5/8"-27 compatible. 6-inch shouldn't have too much flex, assuming you don't have a very heavy, long, stretched cable or a heavy microphone.

This is an excellent shockmount. It is quality made, nice looking and well designed. However, when I was doing research on microphones, pop filters,shockmounts, etc for my studio, Amazon.com recommended this to buy along with the AT 2020 mic. Without doing further research, I assumed based on Amazon's recommendations that buying them together meant they also fit and worked together...so I bought them both, and a pop filter together as recommended by Amazon. I was wrong.Amazon should NOT recommend buying the Samson SP01 shockmount and AT202 mic together. The pop filter works fine.The Samson SP01 shockmount will not, I repeat, WILL NOT screw in and tighten fully when attached to the AT 2020. The shock mount will screw in about half way, but that's it. The more you turn the threads, the mic and shockmount continue to turn as if they are screwing in further, but simply will not tighten any more. You will not be able to screw it tight to the base of the shock mount to secure it. The threads and diameters are probably designed slightly differently, the SP01 being specifically designed just to fit properly with some Samson and probably some other brands/makes of mics. Upon discovering this, I did more in-depth research and verified that according to the research, the Samson SP01 shockmount will only fit certain Samson microphones. However, with all of the numerous brands and types of mics out there there most likely will be mics that DO fit it. It will be a test and hit-or-miss type of exercise.I knocked off two stars because I think Samson should make this type of product more universally compatible and, if not, then make better note of that fact on sites like Amazon.com. Never-the-less, I think this is one of the nicer, better quality shock mounts out there. Just be aware of this design spec and be ready to test it hoping that it will fit your mic or you may be in for the return-exchange hassle.PWN

I bought this thinking that the mount is universal. I really liked the construction of the shock mount in heavy die case metal, but was really upset that I could not screw in my AKG P120 condenser mic. Then i decided to take it apart. Removed the central part of the mount, and removed the mic adapter. you can do it carefully with a wide flat thin screwdriver ( i used an army knife with a screwdriver tip ) . I took the stock adapter of the AKG and removed its screw flange and used the similar method to remove that. And voila, it was a perfect fit ! If you see the picture, the black screw adapter is AKG. Will post more pics if anyone wants it. It is now fitted and perfect for recording

Excelente producto, cumplió mis expectativas.

Impek, J'en avais besoin d'un nouveau, l'ancien avais péter au niveau des soudures car j'en ai pas pris soin.Nickel, livré par la poste, rien à dire ! en moins de 48h, bravo !Qualité top !

Il prodotto si presenta valido grazie all'uso di materiali duraturi per robustezza.La versatilità di utilizzo è permessa dalla possibilità di montarlo in postazione fissa (asta microfonica) e mobile (supporto treppiedi da tavolo, sebbene la stabilità in questo caso è meno garantita). L'ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo non offre però sorprese particolari (il prezzo è nella media rispetto al prodotto).

O produto correspondeu a expectativa!
