Shock mount microphone holder Behringer SMP2000 adjustable for studio microphones

Behringer SMP2000 adjustable shock mount microphone holder is designed for studio microphones to reduce mechanical vibrations and handling noise. The elastic suspension isolates the microphone from stands and boom arms, providing a more stable signal during recording, podcasting, streaming and broadcast work. Adjustable fittings allow the holder to accommodate a range of microphone diameters while maintaining firm support and consistent positioning.

Advantages

The shock mount minimizes transmitted vibration and impact noise through an elastic suspension system, improving the clarity of captured sound without altering microphone characteristics. Its adjustable clamp design provides compatibility with different microphone sizes, enabling quick setup and secure fixation. Constructed for studio use, the holder supports stable positioning on stands or booms while remaining lightweight and easy to handle.

Suitable for

• Studio recording of vocals and instruments
• Podcasting and voice-over production
• Live streaming and online broadcasts
• Radio and other broadcast environments

Key specifications

• Suspension type: elastic shock absorption to reduce mechanical vibration
• Compatibility: adjustable fitting for a range of handheld and studio microphone diameters
• Mounting: compatible with standard microphone stand posts and boom arms
• Material: robust frame with elastic suspension bands for isolation
• Adjustment: tool-free tightening and positioning features for fast setup

How to use

Mount the shock holder onto a microphone stand or boom arm and open the adjustable clamp to fit the microphone body. Insert the microphone into the suspension cradle, center it to achieve balanced support, and tighten the adjustment mechanism to secure the microphone without compressing the elastic bands. Position the stand or boom for the desired angle and distance to the sound source. Check isolation by gently tapping the stand; the holder should absorb direct vibrations and prevent them from reaching the microphone capsule.

Recommendations

For consistent isolation, avoid overtightening the elastic suspension and periodically inspect the bands for wear. Use with compatible pop filters and shock-mounted boom arms to further reduce wind and handling noise. When recording sensitive sources, verify the microphone alignment and test for residual vibrations before critical takes.
