Shure A55M Shock Mount Microphone Clip - Shockstopper Isolation Mount and Adapter for for Handheld Mics with 3/4 (25-30mm) Barrel Diameter including Shure models SM, KSM, and more

This shock mount is simply amazing. I use it with my SM57 and SM58 mics. I previously used the On Stage MY-420 Shock Mount, and while it's a great shock mount, the A55M does the same job in a sleeker form factor and without risk of scratching the mic body (something the MY-420 did to one of my other mics, the Audio-Technica ATR2100). I really like that the mic simply slides into the rubber ring and is held securely. With the mic slid in and given a couple of light twists to seat it in place, I have no worries whatsoever it'll fall out when positioning the stand.It's made of a sturdy plastic that doesn't feel flimsy or brittle. Just a solid chunk of plastic. The rubber shock mount ring is attached quite firmly; at first I though this would be an issue and maybe be easy to separate from the plastic body, but in use this hasn't been an issue at all. When I was doing my A/B testing between the SM57 and SM58, both mics were inserted and removed multiple times and the rubber ring holds the mics as tight as it did when I first got it. No signs of separating from the plastic body at all.The threads that connect to the mic stand are brass, not plastic. That's something I always like to see with threaded parts that may be screwed and unscrewed multiple times over their lifetime. For the stand I use, the amazing RODE PSA1, I needed an adapter to connect the A55M to the PSA-1. The PSA-1 comes with a nice brass adapter, but it's the type with no flange that can screw deeply into the threads of some mounts and be a real pain to remove. I use On Stage's MA300 Adapters. They're metal, well machined, have a flange so they can only go as far as needed into the mount, and have a groove machined into the top so a penny can easily be used to tighten or loosen them.The screw that holds the two pieces of the A55M (the part that holds the mic and the other that mounts to the mic stand) together can be adjusted with a flathead screwdriver for tension in case it loosens over time and with use. I got my mic positioned where I wanted and tightened the screw by 1/4 turn or so, so accidental bumps wouldn't change the angle of the mic.I have the PSA-1 attached to the back left corner of my desktop (30" x 60"); no bumps to the desk, accidental or otherwise, have transmitted through to the mic. Things like keyboard presses on an MX Brown keyboard haven't transmitted either. The A55M does it's job, and very well.There's not much to complain about. It's well made, works as it's supposed to, and is reasonably priced. I'll be adding another to my audio arsenal. :-)

The Shure A55M Shock Mount Microphone Clip is an essential accessory for anyone serious about audio quality! This shockstopper isolation mount effectively reduces unwanted vibrations and handling noise, ensuring clear sound capture during recordings. It fits a range of handheld microphones, including popular Shure models like SM and KSM, making it incredibly versatile. The build quality is top-notch, and the installation process is straightforward, allowing me to set it up quickly. I’ve noticed a significant improvement in audio clarity since using this mount. If you're looking to enhance your microphone's performance, I highly recommend the Shure A55M Shock Mount!

This is one of very few options for a shock mount for an sm57 or sm58. It is pretty tight for those microphones though, so would not recommend if you have to get the mics in and out on a regular basis. Luckily I use them in a stationary system. They definitely do their job in terms of shock absorption, as I mount them to percussion instruments which typically produce frame noise when using standard clip. I still wish there were easier options, but it does the job. Definitely do not have fear of it falling out

I bought this to complete my "El Presidente" microphone setup as the Shure SM57, a Shure A2WS wind screen, and this shock mount have been the preferred choice of microphone for US Presidents going back decades. If it's good enough for the Commander in Chief, it's good enough for you. I have 2 of them, one on my SM57 and the other on a SE V7 microphone. Accept no substitute.

Wow, I don't think it gets simpler than this. Zero setup, the grip does not slip whether you use it right side up or upside down. All with zero noise. I'm so glad I got this for my SM58!

Using with a beyerdynamic m201 sax mic, which is a bit susceptible to stand noise. It works, but requires special care to keep the cable from pulling it out of shape. Also had to increase the diameter of the 201 using shrink tubing to fit better.

If you are looking for a low profile mic holder that is out of your way, this is it. It's overpriced, it doesn't work miracles, and its not going to stop the noise if you tap the mic stand. It's fine if you move the mic around but honestly use a noise gate on OBS or whatever you are doing. It'll eliminate the mic handling noise better than any shock mount will. Worth it if you need a low profile shock mount that's out of your way though.

It's a plastic assembly with a metal (brass?) fitting, and basically has a hollow rubber inner ring to grab onto the mic. At first it doesn't seem all that fit for purpose, but it's holding firm onto my mic. It always seems a little slack from my boom arm but I haven't had issues or mishaps. And because of the spacing I have no doubt it does what it's supposed to in stopping shocks from propagating.
