Hello everyone, this is my first post here on recording.org, so a very happy hello from me! :) I've been a lurker on the site occasionally, but now I have something to share so I thought I'd register at last! diddlydoo (lol, that's the funniest emoticon I've ever seen)

Hello, I am trying to setup my shock mount (Audio-Technica at8415) with my microphone (Audio-Technica atr2500). I believe I am doing right, but I am not entirely certain on the matter. The way I think it is supposed to setup, is going to block either one of my volume buttons or the headphone jack. If anyone could give me some assistance on this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone,

I'm new to this forum so my apologies if I am posting in the wrong forum or the like.

I recently upgraded from a headset to a Blue Yeti mic for recording podcasts. I picked up a boom stand, pop guard, and shock mount, but saw that the Yeti did not have a base compatible with the shock mount.

A mechanical device that is designed to isolate the transducer of a microphone from shocks, vibrations or handling noise. Both internal and external mounts are used, but the most commonly used shockmount are external and use some kind of elastic material to suspend and isolate the microphone from the stand it is attached to.
