Description
Overview
The Samson Spider Shockmount (SP01) is a professional-grade isolation system engineered to protect your condenser microphones from unwanted mechanical noise. By suspending the microphone in a flexible cradle, the Spider effectively decouples the capsule from the microphone stand, preventing low-frequency rumble and handling noise from contaminating your recordings.
Key Details
- Mechanical Isolation: Specifically designed to eliminate vibrations and structural noise transmitted through the stand.
- Universal Mounting: Features a standard threaded adapter that fits all conventional microphone stands.
- Durable Construction: Built to provide a secure hold for the microphone while maintaining the flexibility needed for effective shock absorption.
- Compact Profile: Lightweight design that provides maximum isolation without adding excessive bulk to your studio setup.
Use Cases
The Samson Spider is essential for any recording environment where precision is required. Ideal applications include:
- Studio Vocals: Eliminating “thumps” caused by the artist bumping the mic stand or floor vibrations.
- Podcasting: Reducing noise from keyboard typing or desk movements when using a boom arm.
- Instrument Recording: Isolating condenser mics from the resonance of amplifiers or floor-borne vibrations during drum or acoustic guitar tracking.

Installation is straightforward and requires no specialized tools:
1. Screw the Spider Shockmount onto any standard microphone stand using the integrated mounting thread.
2. Carefully slide your compatible Samson condenser microphone into the shockmount cradle.
