Rode SM6 Shock Mount with Detachable Pop Filter

Excellent.

It is one great mount that goes well with my "Rode Studio Boom Arm". Of course the price appears to be a bit high for a home user, but it is worth the expense.

Standard build quality, however doesn't fit my Solaris mic, screw-in too small for the mic.

the shock mount is made of sturdy metal, the pop filter is made with two layers of cloth with an air space between them. The filter support telescopes, you can adjust the length and the angle on each end. All the parts are metal so you can crank down hard on the knobs and not break anything. The elastic is stiff enough there is not much sag in any mounting direction. The microphone attaches to a captive treaded ring nut. The whole thing mounts with either standard American microphone stand threads or the smaller European type threads. I tried kicking the stand with the microphone live and yes it reduces the noise greatly but of course not 100%. I thought the price was a little to high but when you consider you get a quality pop filer that is a no-brainer to mount and adjust and remains "put in place" the price is reasonable. This is NOT a general propose generic shock mount. It is designed for only a few Rode model microphones with threads on the bottom that fit the threaded ring nut.

Robusto y resistente.

Zweckmäßig, seit Jahren in Benutzung, gutes Material. Nichts zu bemängeln.

There is a list of compatible mics on the Rode website. I wanted to know if it would work with my Rode NT1 which is NOT listed (the NT1A is listed) so I wrote to the Rode Australian website and was told that it fits the versions of the NT1 which have a screw base but NOT the older versions of the NT1 which don't have a screw base. Mine does have a screw base so I ordered the SM6 and, as well as being functional and brilliantly designed, it is a thing of beauty. So much better than the heap of junk I used before (which looked like a tangle of string and didn't like being used at an angle - its black strings falling out of the clips). The SM6 is perfectly happy and robust when angled. Well worth the extra cash. You wouldn't have thought a mic holder could give so much pleasure in use! And no, in case you're wondering, I'm not related to anyone working for Rode and I wasn't given a free sample. I just bought it and liked it. If you want to bring a bit more joy into your life, you should buy one too. Enjoy.

I bought this thinking my MXL microphone would fit, but it does not, I got a new NT-USB microphone from RODE On the box and in the details it does not mention that model of microphone but it does FIT! If you want a wind shield it might be too tight. I 100% recommend this product if you have a RODE microphone, but if you don't have a rode it will probably not work together due to the thread size on the microphones.
