Michiel Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 I was kind of 'shocked' that the mini shockmount that comes with the 4097 microshotgun makes a lot of noise from friction from the foam with the mount, and/or perhaps the mic with the foam since it's all loose and detachable. Is this normal or do I have bad copies? I'm not even sure if I want to keep them since I specifically bought them for easy car rigging. In the attached sample the highpass is 180Hz (higher than I'd like) and it's a Wisycom transmitter. DPA 4097 sample.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanieldH Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 I had it once, that a 4097 was stored funny and the shockmount was somehow slanted and produced friction noise. A bit of handling and after a wile it was in position again. How much "shock" are you applying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michiel Posted February 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 Just mild taps, which should be somewhat similar to bumps in a road. Both mics were stored funny btw in their original packaging, foam was deformed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
