Which shock-mount goes with this mic for recording? Is there a good reason to use a shock mount for live performing, or are they just for recording?

You don't need a shock mount for any dynamic mic. I recommend using a condenser mic with pop filter for recording and some of those use shock mounts. I only use dynamic mics with regular mounts for live performance.

A shock mount is not used with this kind of microphone. Just a typical microphone holder will due. This microphone (e835) can be purchased for less than $100, and should come with a storage bag and a microphone holder. In fact, on Amazon you can buy everything you need for $99, including a bag, mount, and stand from Sonic Sense. Just search Amazon for e835 and you will see it. Btw, I don't work for Sonic Sense and have never purchased an item from them, just thought I would give you a heads up. Of course, the decision is yours as far as who to purchase from.

You don't need a shock mount for dynamic mics, period.This microphone is poor for recording. A person's voice sounds congested, like having a cold. I recommend buying the Audix dynamic mic you can afford.

It comes with the shock mount but you need a stand. What I would do is but a stand for the isolation panel and a stand for your mic.

To my knowledge it is still the same. It is a hard mic to find a shock mount for, so I just went with the stock solution.

I had to buy a shock mount because my desk is metal with a glass top and every time I would lightly touch my desk it made this LOUDDDD boom sound, I also purchased a stand but I don't use it...the shock mount took away all the bad noises completely :D

My experience is that it is a great recording mic. It was not meant for live performances as the design is sensitive to movement hence the rubber suspension holding mechanism to reduce vibrations. Good Luck.

I haven't run into this personally. But I'd imagine there's a two instances that would cause this. One - it's just picking up the noise of the keyboard like any other sound it picks up. Two - if you use a desktop stand and it's on the same surface and heavy typing sends vibration noise. With the latter, if it's a concern and you can't move the mic, you should be able to find a reasonable shockmount for it. With the former - get a quieter keyboard :)

Anything other than the Samson C01U? If you have just that and a microphone mount then it should be find. Comparing weight specs to what I have (AT2020 + Shockmount) the C01U is similarly weighed.

Well if you're talking about accessories to be able to record through your computer, I recommend getting an audio interface. My interface is the lexicon alpha and it is fantastic, plus, you can get it for just under $50 on Amazon. Obviously, you need to have a cable to run the mic to the interface (which comes separately). Also, if you want to connect it to a mic stand with the spider shock mount that comes with it, you have to get an adapter which is only like 3-5 dollars. This mic is great and has never let me down. Hope you enjoy it and I hoped this helped. If you have any other questions, please ask me again.

I found the MXL 57 Microphone Shockmount (Black) to be the best as it has a screw connector that allows it to be placed on the stand where you need it. This would be my top pick for a good and easily mounted pop filter for this stand.

The mic holder is open-ended and will flex to accommodate and grip most dynamic microphones. That being said the end of the gooseneck is threaded at a standard diameter so if your mic came with a holder or you want to use a shockmount you should be able to use them just fine.

Yes... it comes with a shockmount and you will be able to adjust it to your comfort level when you install it on a mic stand.

In my opinion it is too sensitive for live performance without feedback being an issue. It is more appropriate for recording in a studio environment. Just my opinion, it may work for you.

The swivel mount has a screw on connection that fits a shock mount. I do not see a place to mount a mic without some way to attach it. Rode.com could give you a more detailed answer about how to handle that. Frankly, you probably should be using a shock mount to get the best sound....worst case there's always duct tape...:) just kidding. kk voicebender.com

Can anyone confirm that they have used this mic while recording video. I'm looking to record video and high quality audio without having to sync up the feeds

It mounts on a standard mic stand very easily. That's about the only good feature. Put your money on another brand--- I got two if these pieces of mechanical junk in a row that both fried out mid-gig.

I actually have the other Rode Mic that is just all black. What you will get with it is basically the shock mount, the mic itself and the dead cat to help with that wind noise.

I have used it with various pro mics. The problem is not with the boom. The base is not heavy enough to counter the weight of the mic when the boom is at lower angles.
