How to Mount YOUR Mic Into the ISO-ARMOR-2

[@jes_pr5237]

I should've seen this first before purchasing.

[@crazygooner3398]

Thanks for the demo!

[@jonathanblock3634]

anybody know what kind of shock mount he's using for the rode mic?

[@tomayto70]

If you have a flat surface at recording height, it's probably safest to just place it upside-down on that surface

[@DJURBANBG]

i bought one , you have to be careful with the distance because you may cause distortion if too close and loud , but the voice gets deeper and more isolated for sure , you just have to be careful

[@addam-media]

That's just an issue of input gain on the preamp.

[@roblianoofficial]

It's called the proximity effect, an increase in low frequency response as you move the mic closer to the source. The closer you get, the bigger the bass boost. DJ's use this to their advantage to get that great radio voice.

[@tellitlikeitis8691]

@@roblianoofficial Generally you're right, but the effect the OP is describing is primarily due to the sound becoming more focused because it has less space to travel within the small enclosure. And the input gain will not be enough sometimes since it will get too low in level just to avoid clipping because of the extra body added to the sound. In these cases, light compression will help to control the volume and keep the dynamics in place.

[@mrtechie6810]

So this helps with voiceover. How about for singing vocals? What is the coloration like?

[@hellopsp180]

LOL wtf ? His solution for not having a proper mounting solution is. Hey lets rest it ontop of the shock mount. Its Loose AF Imagine your mic falls and you break it. Thats is just insanity

[@ReekDeniro]

i guess its a no go for the neumann tlm 103

[@HelicopterRidesForCommunists]

Works with the SM7B?

[@ALightOn]

Mine is falling over and drooping way over on my desk stand. Can you give me the model of your desk stand/shock mount?

[@focuspulling]

He says, for almost all mics, "you're just gonna place it on top of the shock mount." Pay really close attention to what he's saying: he just wants you to set down the whole thing ON TOP OF the shock mount, rather than into it, without any security. So if you bump the thing, it topples off -- and also, there's simply less vibration isolation than a true shock mount. This is no solution at all; the critically gigantic flaw of this product is that it lacks two mounts: one for the chamber, one for the mic. And besides, most shock mounts do not elevate the large-diaphragm microphone chassis high enough to reach the inner chamber's middle: you just get a peek of the top of the mic, with most of the sound getting blocked from all directions.

This is my problem

[@SAUNITRIES]

Will a Blue Yeti fit?

[@SAUNITRIES]

@Syed Aliahsan Okay. Thanks.

[@XanderGallois]

To bad you can't actually connect it to the micstand. And how do you use this with for example a Shure SM7B where you must sing into the top of the mic?

[@LossLeadas]

not made for those mics...your mic not really made for recording vocals.. it made for recording instruments and performing on stage

[@XanderGallois]

@@LossLeadas Not made for recording vocals? You are kidding right?

[@LossLeadas]

@@XanderGallois read the KEY 🔑 words in my comment

[@LossLeadas]

@@XanderGallois didnt you say how do you use this for shure SM7B? and you aware that mic is a DYNAMIC MIC RIGHT? Also are you aware recording vocals in the studio is a different process when doing a podcast or performing on stage right???? these are all questions

[@XanderGallois]

@@LossLeadas The Shure sm7b is a cardioïde mic. Big artist like Michael Jackson, James Hetfield and many many others recorded and still are recording albums with this mic in the studio. Also used for singers who like to record vocals without a headphone (like Michael Jackson and James Hetfield) due there low range response. So, tbh I dont know where you get your information from that this mic isnt for vocals. As a matter effect, this mic is primarily used for vocals, not instruments.

[@aneeshkapil8422]

Yes but how would this work with a TLM 102 & shockmount??? TLM 102 is tiny and the shockmount wouldn't allow the mic to fit inside properly???

[@darknessjiujitsu]

I am also wondering about this. I have a TLM 102 and a King Bee on the way. Not sure how either one will work.

[@americanskeptic1559]

@@darknessjiujitsu how did it work with your tlm 102?

[@darknessjiujitsu]

@@americanskeptic1559 I don't have a shockmount for the TLM 102, but it doesn't work well with it. I can keep it awkwardly balanced on top of it. But the 102 is too small. Works perfectly with my Mini K87.

[@LOGYBEATS]

The design of this thing is insanely bad

[@LossLeadas]

why is that?
