Match the microphone diameter

Choose this mount for a microphone body measuring 55–60 mm. Measure the section that will sit inside the ring; a universal mount still needs the correct physical fit.

Secure and protect

The spring clip opens the inner ring for insertion, while EVA foam cushions the microphone body and helps protect its finish. Check the exact microphone, mounting arrangement and intended recording position together, leaving the relevant controls and connections accessible throughout the session.

Adjust the recording angle

A 5/8–27 threaded connection fits compatible microphone stands. The angle-adjustment knob positions the suspended microphone. Microphones shown are sold separately. Check the exact microphone, mounting arrangement and intended recording position together, leaving the relevant controls and connections accessible throughout the session.

Choose the Exact Microphone Fit

Choose this SM5560 only for a suitable microphone body measuring 55–60 mm at the clamping position. A similar-looking microphone grille or a different body diameter is not proof of fit. Include the 190 g mount when checking the supporting arm’s total load.

Count the Suspension in the Supported Load

The Gator mount weighs 190 g before a microphone is installed. Add that mass and any adapters to the actual microphone weight when matching an arm, rather than checking the microphone alone.

What should I check for this exact model?

Does a shock mount eliminate every recording noise?

Suspension reduces mechanical vibration transmitted through the support. Room noise, plosives, keyboard sound travelling through air and microphone placement need their own recording setup adjustments.

How should I choose the supporting arm?

Check the microphone’s exact fitting, the mounting thread and the combined weight of microphone, shock mount and adapters. The mount’s own weight must be included in the arm’s supported load range.

Is a microphone or arm included?

This product is the listed shock mount. A microphone and its supporting stand or boom arm are separate equipment; confirm fit for the exact microphone before choosing a mount.
