RodeSM6, Black

Soo in love with my pop filter; everything is just so smoother with it

I work as an Instructional Designer, and occasionally have to narrate E-Learning's or short instructional videos. I have a home office and a corporate office location. Originally I was using my Blue Yeti USB microphone, with the Radius II shock mount attached to the PSA1 Studio Arm. This set up worked great, but it sucked having to move it from office to office. So I decided to get a second set up. After a lot of research for what would best fit my needs, I went for this set up.I now have a Rode NT-USB microphone attached to this SM6 shock Mount, all on the PSA1 Studio arm. I had not read any reviews or questions about the NT-USB Microphone working with this shock mount, but took a risk assuming it would. It does work.What I really like is that the microphone is actually suspended, so it reduces a lot of noise that the microphone pics up.I am not a professional Audio Engineer, and have been learning about all this on my own. However, I am a professional looking for great narration. This product fits my needs. In comparison to the Blue Yeti/Radius II set up I have, this is slightly better. I think a lot of that has to do with this mount being more "free floating" in function. I would highly recommend this product.

Mil Gracias. Llego en perfectas condiciones, producto de primera calidad, se coloco de una vez en el Rode NT1A y se ajusto super bien, realmente es un producto AAA.

Used this shock mount with my NT1A, durable and high quality metal build. This thing will last you forever unless you run it over or crush it, I would just be careful moving it around since the points on the mount can be quite sharp.

I was thoroughly impressed when I unpacked this item. However, once installed with the NT-USB mic, I was a little disappointed. It is hard to get to the adjustment knobs on the side of the mic because of the shock mount. Additionally, if you use a headset with the mic, the hole for the headset does not align properly, again, due to the shock mount. Therefore, I cannot get the mic to face forward correctly. I can live with both issues. Mic still sounds great, probably better than ever (which is the main goal) since the purchase of this shock mount/pop filter. Just get it!!!

the shock mount is made of sturdy metal, the pop filter is made with two layers of cloth with an air space between them. The filter support telescopes, you can adjust the length and the angle on each end. All the parts are metal so you can crank down hard on the knobs and not break anything. The elastic is stiff enough there is not much sag in any mounting direction. The microphone attaches to a captive treaded ring nut. The whole thing mounts with either standard American microphone stand threads or the smaller European type threads. I tried kicking the stand with the microphone live and yes it reduces the noise greatly but of course not 100%. I thought the price was a little to high but when you consider you get a quality pop filer that is a no-brainer to mount and adjust and remains "put in place" the price is reasonable.This is NOT a general propose generic shock mount. It is designed for only a few Rode model microphones with threads on the bottom that fit the threaded ring nut.

I really like this shock mount design with integrated pop filter. It beats my previous pop filter, which was mounted on the end of a long flex arm and prone to constant positioning problems.Now that I have upgraded to a Harlan Hogan Porta-Booth Plus, this shock mount is perfect for positioning both mic and pop filter within the acoustically treated mic enclosure.The only downside is this combo shock mount and pop filter is specific to Rode brand mics only. It is not a universal mount, and would not work on my Shure KSM32, for example.For Rode mics, this mount is perfect. For other brands, you may be able to achieve similar results by combining a conventional shock mount with a "WindTech PopGard Pop Filter Windscreen" - also highly recommended and available at Amazon.WindTech PopGard Pop Filter WindscreenThe Porta-Booth Pro - Your Recording Studio At Home and on the RoadThe NEW Porta-Booth Plus

This mount is great. I dropped my other one and it broke at the hinge. It was on a mic stand that tipped over and fell. It was my fault. Since this is mostly one cohesive unit if one part breaks the entire mount becomes unusable.I use this for recording vocals and to get around the mic stand problem I bought the Rode Swivel Mount to go along with this. Now it will never fall!For the most part it is built sturdy. BUT If you are going to be moving around a lot, or this is going to be in a place that may fall (on a stand on stage - I don't know why you would use one of these on stage) then you might want to look else where.I use it all the time. Overall great mount!
