I actually bought this for my AT2020 microphone because I thought this was a universal shock mount; however, I was mistaken. Anyways, this product was really well made from what I saw when I got the shock mount.

This shock mount is nicely made with quality parts, very sturdy indeed. Unfortunately the shock mount makes noise when wiggled side-to-side which is heard in the microphone. My Rode shock mount is dead silent but does not hold the mic as rigidly as this unit does. I am tempted to return it and try out the other four rubber band AT model but it's more trouble than it's worth.

I love my at's.
My Gefells survived a 10 foot stage dive with these protecting them: they are now my backup pair, after a decade of service.
Some will complain about the weight but it is a sure-fire sign of quality and strength.
Some will complain about (((noise))) but if you keep things well-dusted it is rare to have any vibration come through while carefully re-positioning. But if you are moving in-session, what truly do you expect?

A workhorse indeed, expect 10years plus of service if treated / cared for...

I am using two of these with a pair of CAD GXL1200 Cardioid Condenser Microphones. They hold the mics securely. I'm glad I found them because CAD does not make a shock mount for the GXL1200.

If you do not need to handle the microphone or shock mount during recording, such as to adjust the distance for live radio work, then these are perfect. The clamp does not open wide enough to accommodate most handheld mics or, especially, large vocal condensers.

I have owned several of these when isolation from noise is needed. Fits Mic Stands and Mic Arms. An extra -20 dB of noise isolation is always a plus when you need it!

The AT 8410A is well made and should not give you any trouble. Worth the $40.00+ price tag if you need extra noise and vibration isolation, especially from Bass sources.
