Description
Overview
The MXL 56 High Isolation Shock Mount is a professional-grade accessory designed to eliminate unwanted mechanical noise from your recordings. By suspending the microphone within a flexible cradle, it prevents vibrations, footsteps, and handling noise from traveling up the microphone stand and into the capsule, ensuring a clean, professional signal path.
Key Details
- High-Isolation Design: Specifically engineered to decouple the microphone from the stand, significantly reducing low-frequency rumble and structural noise.
- Secure Fit: Tailored specifically for a selection of MXL condensers to ensure the microphone remains stable and centered.
- Durable Construction: Built to withstand the rigors of studio and field use while maintaining the tension necessary for effective isolation.
Use Cases
This shock mount is essential for any recording environment where the microphone is mounted on a stand and susceptible to external vibrations, such as:
- Vocal Recording: Eliminating “thumps” caused by the artist moving or stepping near the mic stand.
- Instrument Tracking: Reducing noise transfer from amplifiers or drums vibrating through the floor.
- Podcasting: Minimizing the sound of desk bumps or equipment adjustments during a live take.
Installation
Installation is straightforward and requires no tools. Simply slide the shock mount onto a standard microphone stand and secure it using the integrated mounting hardware. Carefully place the compatible MXL microphone into the cradle and secure it using the provided locking mechanism to ensure the microphone is suspended and isolated from the frame.
