    Auray Shockmount for Rode Podcast Mics and Mics with M20 Thread

    The Auray SM-RM20 is a suspension-style shockmount designed to be used with broadcast and condenser mics that sport an M20 threaded studs. The shockmount is crafted out of metal to ensure dependability.

    A key feature of this shockmount is its ability to prevent structural-borne vibrations from the stand itself, which can result in hours of editing audio if left unattended at the source. Since this shockmount effectively isolates the mic against such vibration, you will not have to worry about this undesirable, yet all-too-common problem in the studio.

    The SM-RM20 utilizes heavy-duty elastic bands to suspend and isolate the microphone inside the basket. A threaded socket provides a secure locking connection between the shockmount and microphone. This connection is so secure that you can suspend your mic downwards from a boom arm. To facilitate optimum microphone placement, the angle of the shockmount is both adjustable and lockable.

    Classic Studio Shockmount
    The SM-RM20 is compatible with many broadcast and condenser microphones that sport an M20 threaded stud. Whether you're mounting your microphone in an upright position, or suspending it down from a boom arm, this shockmount is an effective studio tool for securing a microphone and minimizing noise.
    Eliminates Noise
    Even the slightest vibrations from the floor can turn into hours of troubleshooting. This suspension shockmount will prevent unwanted and troublesome vibrations, which can transmit through a mic stand, from affecting your microphone's performance.
    Metal 5/8"-27 Mic Stand Adapter
    A metal mic stand adapter ensures a durable and secure connection between the shockmount and mic stand. The standard 5/8"-27 thread fits any mic stand.
    Locking Knob
    The angle of the shockmount can be locked into position with the locking knob for perfect aim to ensure your talent is always on mic.
    All-Metal Construction
    The SM-RM20 is a durable studio accessory that is built to last. The all-metal construction ensures microphone security in professional and home studios.
    Heavy-Duty Elastic Bands
    The heavy-duty elastic bands suspend the microphone in the center of the basket, and they prevent shocks and vibrations from traveling through the mic stand and reaching the microphone.

    Polsen HPC-A30-MK2 Closed-Back Studio Monitor Headphones

    The HPC-A30-MK2 Closed-Back Studio Monitor Headphones from Polsen offer a solution for experiencing rich and natural sound when listening to music through a mobile device or monitoring a podcast on your computer. These headphones can also be used for DJ work, thanks to the swiveling earcups that let you monitor audio while keeping one ear free.

    The HPC-A30-MK2's over-ear design isolates the sound and prevents leakage for optimum listening conditions in loud environments, such as a club or on the go. The 10' cable also gives you the freedom to move around while working and terminates in a 3.5mm TRS stereo plug, which is compatible with most mobile devices and computers. In addition, a stereo 1/4" adapter is included to plug into a stereo or mixing board.

    Mobile
    The HPC-A30-MK2 headphones deliver a rich sound for listening to audio on a mobile device. Whether you're listening on a smartphone, an iPod, or a tablet, these headphones deliver detailed sound even in noisy environments.
    Over-Ear Design
    The over-ear design isolates sound in loud environments and prevents leakage for optimum listening conditions. This design is good for listening to music on a busy street, and for DJs who need to monitor their audio in a noisy club.
    DJ Applications
    The headphones are suitable for DJ applications and include a tuned bass response for low-end clarity. The pivoting earcups are ideal for one-ear or on-the-shoulder monitoring. A padded headband offers to keep you comfortable during a lengthy session.
    Broadcast and Podcast
    The headphones allow for monitoring audio on a laptop or in a home studio as well as recording a vlog on a smartphone.
    Swiveling and Rotating Earcups
    If you're a DJ who likes to keep one ear free, you can swivel one of the earcups for on-the-shoulder monitoring. The earcups also rotate 90° so you can turn one of the earcup outward for one-ear handheld monitoring.
    10' Cable
    A headphone cable that's too short is almost like sitting on the sidelines—you can't be part of the action. If you need to move around while you work, the 10' cable will allow you to move about freely.

    It says the minimum weight is 1.54 lbs on the Røde website, but would this work for my 0.89 lb ZDM-1 if I just tighten screws?
    Asked by: Devon
    The manufacturer recommends 1.5lbs in order to prevent the springs from moving with the mic attached to the PSA1 Studio Boom Arm. It may be possible that tightening the screws can help the issue, but it is not guaranteed.
