Auray SHM-UC2 Reviews
Perfect fit for my condenser Behringer C-3 condenser mic
It was a match for my Behringer C-3 condenser microphone, which I use for my weekly taping of my podcast at my home studio. Upon the Auray SHM-UC2 Clamping Suspension Shock mount and its reasonable price, I immediately made the purchase at B&H.
A typical low cost LDC shock mount
My biggest gripe about every Chinese shock mount in this style (including this Auray) is that the squeeze arms to open it end up in contact with the outer ring. That means vibrations are metal-to-metal from stand to mic and make it a mount but not a shock mount. I make my own elastics so I can use a soft one one side and a firm one on the other side to raise the squeezicators up and away from the metal ring. Also, the squeeze arms are always tangled in the elastics no matter how you arrange them. My next gripe is the locking thumbscrew. It requires so much force that it feels like its going to break. Which is exactly what happens when you can't get it to stay in place so you start getting creative. If the thumbscrew doesn't break, then the tiny screws that fasten the knuckle to the outer ring will. But it's not all bad news. Felt lining is ok. The opening is effective on smaller than average LDCs and can be forced to fit slightly larger than average LDCs.
