dani Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Hi everyone, was wandering if anyone has any suggestion for a good shock mount for Neumann km 100 series (single mic configuration). I've been checkin' Rycote INV-2 but doesn't look like it's the best to be mounted on a boom pole...and softie mounts seem to be too long to fit the mic properly with a foam screen on. thanks d.

Constantin Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Why is Rycote not the best? Or, rather, not good enough? Otherwise, there is Cinela, Schoeps, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanieldH Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 I 've always been very happy with cinela products. http://www.cinela.fr There's also Ktek, RØDE, Canford, PSC and probably many more. If its not the best to be mounted on a boom, what is INV-27 then good for? Edit: Corrected Invision model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanieldH Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 @Constantin What schoeps product do you refer to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Constantin Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 @Constantin What schoeps product do you refer to? http://www.schoeps.de/en/products/a20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pkautzsch Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Schoeps typically have a smaller diameter, so check first if your KM100 fits the Schoeps mount. INV-7 is the one to go for when you buy Rycote. Cinela mounts are said to decouple even better, but are more expensive as well - as I'm completely happy with the INV-7 I never tried a Cinela.

Nick Ray Harris Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 I use a small PSC mount for a schoeps, which is similar in size and it works great. Also cheaper than most options out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaimesound Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 So happy with my Invision7 for my km100 series. I'd never try cinela ones, but they're good looking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Constantin Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 I'm completely happy with the INV-7 I never tried a Cinela. I thought I was too, until I tried Cinela. Then I realized, I hadn't been happy. The difference in thickness is 2mm. That should work with the A20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisnewton Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 +1 for invision 7 with my KM100 series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VM Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Inv 7-MK3 : it is more universal, I can change my mics (CMIT, CMC-MK41 or 150) very quickly. Or Cinela: i have the CMIT model it also suits my CMC or MK150 with a little XLR barrel. I am happy with both, but I always give my boom operator the Cinela...

Scott Smith Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Cinela works well, unless you are working in cold weather, in which case it gets very noisy, mostly due to the cable becoming very stiff.

dani Posted December 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Thanks guys, I was afraid that length of the bar of INV-7 was a bit too long for a KM150 and that I would not be able to place the foam screen properly. Would you say that INV-7 Mark III has any more advantages besides being able to switch mics more quickly? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamTimmer Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Cinella is the best in my opinion. I have owned lots of the rycote products and the cinella products outperform them in handling noise dampening as well as wind and rain noise is handled to the point of, dare I say it, perfection. I have all my main mic's mounted in cinella products and a spare Neumann 81 in a rycote. I brought out the Neumann for some testing I was doing and was shocked at all the self induced suspension noise.
