Jim Feeley Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 OK all you CS-M1 aficionados... What mounts are you using with it? Rycote INV-6? Rycote KSM1? Cinela OSIX 1? (or whatever's the correct mount; their website is "coming back soon.") Other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osa Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 For me… rycote inv-lite 19 For indoors zep no10 for outdoors with olde skool rycote rubberbands and connbox (others recommended cinela but this setup worked best for me personally with some frankensteining parts on hand after lots of trial and error battling handling noise) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the INV-6 (black) and INV-6 Heavy (Gray) depending on if I'm using a furry or doing more running and gunning. I also use the Gray INV-6 with my DPA 4017c, as the black has a bit too much flx even with foam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you have other mics, would there be any situations you would use a different mic than the cs-m1 in interior spaces? Absolutely! Inside a vapid indoor practice field? Inside a large stage? Large warehouse?? Wideshots on top of the above? The cs-m1 would not be my 1st choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Feeley Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 Thanks osa and Pete! Any other thoughts on good mounts for the CS-M1? (And when is Cinela's website coming back? https://www.cinela.fr OK, I'll be patient...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stéphane Roché Posted December 11, 2021 Report Share Posted December 11, 2021 Hi every one i'm a new user of the sanken CS M1 and asked directly osix's founder. The e-osix 4017C (designed for dpa) is "the most suitable mount for this mic". It really works well for me but with the standart foam you can't really move without hearing the air...i tried the small spacer kit but there's not enoutgh space between the mic and the osix so I switch to INV when moves are needed.

Sandor Gyurkovics Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 I just bought two of these mics finally. I’m using the rycote INV mount with black lyres in cold weather with a bubblebee windkiller indoors and outdoors. will have to put a grey/hard lyre on the front in the summer i suspect. the black ones get mushy in the sun. haven’t bought a blimp yet, but may try and use my mkh50 blimp. i bought these for a show that needs good/small camera mics, and plan and ditching my 50’s after the show and moving to these. only boomed on day with them just to test them out, but they were pretty nice to swing. light! handling noise with a ktek classic pole and the tiny inv-6 mount was not an issue at all.

Adam White Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 Just made a little video comparing a CS-M1 and a Neumann km185 in my studio. Not entirely scientific but I found it interesting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arvid Lind Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 Hi! Bumping an old thread! I recently purchased the Sanken CSM1 together with a Rycote Inv-6 HG. I do feel that the Inv-6 is a bit to vulnerable to boom handling noise. Anyone tried another shock mount with success? /arvid in stockholm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osa Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 I personally have had the most success with the invision lite 19 mm But it’s a combination of the pole and mount that I think might help with my handling noise. I’m using a loon boom pole which unfortunately they don’t make any more. When it comes to Zeppelin‘s I had to go back to older ring style and a con box to find the right mix of rycote bits to help with handling noise and that seems to work well for me.

Over four years later, and I finally got this week a CSM1 of my own! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 50’s have collected a lot of dust. The sankens have become my go-to for almost everything. I love the sound of them, the gain and the reach - the sanken checks all the boxes mentioned for me. ha! same with me. have 2 of each. liking the sankens way more. really like them for wide/tight/slider 3 cam interviews. there's enough reach to get it done for the wide and not rely on the wire or a longer shotgun that would be less forgiving with subject movement in the chair. The 50 doesn't cut it in that situation. it's a lovely sounding mic in lots of situations. I use it indoor and out. not loving my mount though. I still put it in my old senny blimp that I use for the 50. It's fine, but not ideal. Like the look of the Medium cosi perhaps. I have the INV mount with the black lyres (the light ones) and a bubblebee for interiors. super light. love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, does this mount actually have room for the foam? looks super tight. thought about this one but wasn't sure i could make it go. i'm leaning more and more towards cinela after using my INV6 for the last year. still pretty rough for handling noise. older carbon k-tek pole.

Yes the foam fits perfect for indoor use with space around it still clearing the mount bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
