Shure A400SMXLR A400SM Shock Mount & A400XLR Insert Packaged Combination

Excelente producto, muy recomendable

This item is a shock mount with an insert terminated in an XLR connector. Taking the insert first; this is a simple tube with the XLR connector, it is necessary to remove the connector to solder a microphone cable to it. The construction is solid but let down by the absence of any form of strain relief. There is also a rubber O ring that prevents the insert from being pulled out of the mount, unfortunately it doesn’t prevent it from being pushed downwards, a second one at the top would resolve this. The mount is a tube with a flange at the top and is lined with a flexible rubber inner which is the part that provides mechanical decoupling of the microphone from the surface to which the mount is attached. Fitting requires a 44mm hole cutter but, once the hole has been made, the rest is easy. Fortunately the insert wasn’t necessary because the existing connector on the cable was a sufficiently tight fit. A brief test revealed that the mount provides good isolation of the microphone from the lectern on which it is mounted, which is the whole point. Time will tell whether the rubber inner part is sufficient robust.

Qualitative hochwertig, jedoch kann die eigentliche XLR Buchse nicht ordentlich befestigt werden. Daher zieht es die gesamte Buchse beim entfernen des Mikros raus. Dass ist sehr unvorteilhaft und es ging wieder zurück.

This mic shock mount is effective in reducing the transmission of lectern knocks to the sound system. The upper rim of the associated insert (sold separately) should be made a bit wider as the insert pushes down with repeated pressure over time.

Easy installation. Provides good microphone isolation.
