Schoeps AC 20 Overview

The Schoeps AC 20 Elastic Suspension is a premium shockmount specifically engineered for Colette Series microphones (CMC 1 U, CMC 6, CMD 42) or microphones with a 20mm diameter. Designed for both studio and stage environments, it provides a reliable support for your microphone, keeping it isolated from vibrations and handling, making it an essential accessory for professional-grade audio capture.

The AC 20 comes with two pairs of professional-quality CINELA isolators (stiff and soft). The isolators can be exchanged for optimal decoupling. Different stiffnesses can be used for the front and rear isolators. Also included is a cable clip to minimize unwanted cable noise.

Easy to use, the microphone can be inserted and removed by simply squeezing the sides of the shockmount. The tilt angle of the microphone is adjustable for precise positioning. The base of the unit features a 5/8"-27 thread, with 3/8"-16 and 1/2" thread adapters included for versatile mounting options on a stand.

Schoeps AC 20 Reviews

A huge design improvement

For many years, the Rycote INV series has been the standard shockmount for pencil condensers, and indeed the recommendation from Schoeps. With the Rycote company now in tatters, Schoeps has stepped forward to redesign and produce new mounting accessories. And I'm pleased to say they're fantastic. This mount is a simplified Cinela suspension system. It includes rings in two flexibility levels to accommodate both lighter and heavier pencil mics (i.e. CMC1 or CMC6). The non-flexible parts of the mount are machined metal, not plastic. The mount can be disassembled to be made smaller for storage. Everything about this design is an improvement over the Rycote and Schoeps' earlier suspensions. It's smaller, more discrete, more flexible, and made of better materials. I find a noticeable improvement in noise reduction over my INV-6 mounts. And it's reasonably priced as well. This is an excellent product from Schoeps. I recommend it.
