    RAD-1 Shockmount

    The RAD-1 Shock Mounts are primarily for indoor booming with condenser pencil microphones (super-cardioid, cardioid and omni) or light short shotgun mics. The mount has soft-coated universal mic clips to fit mics 19-25mm in diameter. Each mount includes a pair of standard firmness hoops (black) and a pair of soft hoops (light blue).

    The RAD-1 hoops have flat tops (no bracing). Recommended for Schoeps CCM & CMC Series, Sennheiser MKH50, Sennheiser MKH8020, Sennheiser MKH8040, Sennheiser MKH8050, DPA 4018, Neumann KM 100 and other small pencil condenser microphones. When using heavy slip-on wind covers, we would suggest using a RAD-1 black hoop or RAD-2 blue hoop in the front position to reduce any mic dipping.

  • RAD-2 Shockmount

    The RAD-2 Shock Mounts are designed to be used for booming with standard length shotgun microphones. The mount has soft-coated universal mic clips to fit mics 19-25mm in diameter. Each mount includes a pair of standard firmness hoops (black), a pair of soft hoops (light blue) and a pair of extra firm hoops (dark blue).

    The RAD-2 hoops are slightly thicker than RAD-1 hoops and have an extra 3mm of bracing on top to hold the extra weight of front-heavy or longer microphones. Recommended for Sennheiser MKH416, Sennheiser MKH8060, Sennheiser MKE600, Schoeps CMIT 5, Schoeps SuperCMIT, Schoeps MiniCMIT, Sanken CS-3, Rode NTG-3, DPA 2017, DPA 4017 and other shotgun microphones. The different firmness of hoops can be mixed-and-matched based on your booming preference.
