Protect your microphone—and your sound—with Sound Productions’ selection of Microphone Shockmounts. A shockmount is an audio accessory specifically designed to isolate handling noise by absorbing vibrations before they reach a microphone’s more movement-sensitive components.

Shockmounts are particularly good choices for microphone setups that are for capturing nuanced, crystal-clear sound. These applications include miking instruments, singing and speaking, and creating recordings with professional polish and pristine sound quality.

Incorporating a shockmount into your mic setup is virtually a necessity when it comes to using condenser microphones; condenser mics are able to pick up every detail of your sound, making them ideal for recordings and other professional audio capture situations—but it comes at a price: condensers are super sensitive, and the vibrations caused by handling, high sound pressure levels, and other environmental factors can damage their delicate elements. Without a shockmount, then, condenser mics not only will pick up every detail of noise you don’t want to be picked up—they can also be ruined in the process.

Not all shockmounts are created equal, so do your research to ensure the shockmount you acquire is a good match for your specific microphone type. Check out SoundPro’s premium options including top brands such as Audix, Shure, and more!
