Microphone Shock Mount

thingiverse

I Needed a Shock Mount for My Field Recorder Microphone to Unrumble Impact Noises My field recorder microphone (AKG C1000) was plagued by impact noises, and I knew exactly what I needed - a shock mount that would tame the rumble. The microphone itself has a diameter of 33.5mm and stands at 220mm tall, weighing in at a sturdy 340g. ## Construction in Fusion360 This project marked my second real foray into construction, and it was my first attempt at crafting multiple parts with tight fittings and clever nut inlays. If you're accustomed to building things in 3D, please forgive me - I'm still learning the ropes and taking baby steps. Feel free to offer your expertise on how I can improve this design and make it more efficient. ## Printed Parts As expected, printing two rings, a connection rail, and a support connector was necessary. On my printer, using PETG material yielded precise fits that were easy to handle by hand. ## Connection Bolts and Nuts For the bolts and nuts, I opted for three M3 18mm hex head bolts and three M3 square nuts. The holes are slightly larger than needed, but they get the job done. ## Support Connection The mount for the support is tailored specifically to the AKG support connector (the black component) with a free gap of 6.9mm and an M4 bolt. You may need to adjust this part to fit other support connectors, so be sure to double-check your measurements. ## Rubber Straps For the initial tests, I used some rubber straps that worked well enough. However, I'm already on the hunt for better options - half of these will likely suffice.
