Shure A55M Reviews

for larger body small barrel mics

By Matt
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2023-12-14

Shure makes the A53M for smaller diameter body mics like the Shure SM81 (which fit a lot of smaller diameter mic bodies like my Gefell M300 mics) and these slightly larger A55M shock mounts which will hold a mic body like the Shure SM57. So we are looking at two different diameter accommodating shock mounts. These are low profile shockmounts that take up not much more space than a typical plastic mic clip. Therefore these low profile shock mounts are perfect for fitting into tight places, like on toms or a snare for a drum set, or on a short stand in front of an amplifier. And since these shock mounts are small, they are also no extra eyesore for on stage, like a Rycote might be---so the A55M will work great to isolate a mic on a stand in front of a performer, avoiding low end thumps or noise transferred through the mic stand (think here---someone bumps the stand, or jumps on the stage--that energy is not transferred through the shock mount = NICE). Do these deliver results of a more robust shock mount? No. That is not the intended use. Do they solve shock problems on stage ? Yes, for the level a live stage requires, anyway. This shock mount and its smaller sibling that A53M are awesome tools to have onhand to give live sound and live recording engineer a way to keep rumble, bumps, and avoid transferring stage floor noise through their microphones.

Simple solution for isolation

The device works well enough. Most surface disruptions and walking around are not picked up through vibration. I am curious to know how long it will last and keep its shape. The rubber it is made from appears it will start to give in a couple years. For the price it's a fair piece of equipment which I would recommend to someone looking to isolate an sm X microphone.

will this work with an audio technica 2005 dynamic mic, or any basic dynamic mic shape that isn't actually a Shure brand SM57?
Asked by: Zachary
Maybe. It is definitely designed for the size and weight distribution of the SM57. The mount does not have a lot of room to spare in the gap between the flexible rubber ring and the outer plastic/quasi-metal shell. If the mic hangs in the shock mount in such a way that it make the flex ring touch the hard ring, it is not really shock mounted anymore. I have used it with a couple of other mics. The lighter they are the easier it is get it to work properly.

question

Will it work with an RE50?
Asked by: Anthony
The RE50 has a 1 inch shank. A A55M might work as its interior is just a hair over 1.0 inch, but the resulting fit may be a tiny bit loose.

question

Will this mount work with a shure vp 88?
Asked by: Anonymous
I have a VP88, and I tried putting it in the larger A55M. It's a VERY snug fit on the 1.080 diameter end of the VP88. The mic tapers to 1.09 about 4 from the connector and rapidly tapers to 1.57 from there. I'd say it won't fit in the larger A55M, and it certainly wouldn't fit in the smaller A53M.
