4.0 out of 5 stars Decent product, and works with an AT2020 April 30, 2009

By Paul Wake

Amazon Verified Purchase

A lot of people are attracted to Samson mics because they're affordable. The same people may also end up getting an AT2020 instead, which is another popular lower priced condenser mic. But, if those people want a shock mount for the AT2020, they'll find the Audio Technica shockmount is a bit expensive. FYI, in case you're in that situation, the AT2020 fits into this Samson shockmount quite well. The only thing to consider, and it's an aesthetic thing, is that the AT2020 is black, and this shockmount is silver, and it does look a bit dorky in between a black mic stand and a black mic (this shockmount was designed for silver Samson mics). But it's a good price.

Edit: be sure to note the March of 2012 comment on this review; it appears things have changed since April of 2009.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Took a Chance... November 28, 2008

By James R. Bjugstad

I was looking around for a shock mount to use with my new Behringer C1 condenser mike. The Samson mikes appeared to have the same mounting system so I took a chance and ordered the SP01. It fits and works perfectly with my Behringer mike! The mount appears to be well made, is attractive, and does the job.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Shockmount!! IT WORKS WITH ANY MIC STAND!! March 26, 2010

By Ryan S.

Amazon Verified Purchase

I recently bought an Audio Technica 2020 and was looking for a shockmount for it, I bought the one that Audio Technica makes and I was not satisfied with the quality, so I returned it and came across the Samson SP01. My first thought was that it looked just like the shockmount I have for my Neumann TLM 103. I immediately purchased it after seeing that people were using it with the AT 2020. As soon as it arrived I put my AT 2020 in it and it looked stunning, after I mounted it on my on-desk mic stand I bumped the table a few times to see how it worked. In short it works great, The SP01 isolates the mic extremely well. I also tested the shockmount with my Studio Projects C1 and Rode k2 (both very heavy mics) and it works great. One word of advice it seems that some people are having problems hooking this shockmount to their mic stand ( which I find extremely amusing). Like most shockmounts the Samson SP01 has an adapter that is too small for most US mic stands already in the mount ( the part where the shockmount connects to the mic stand). THIS IS EASY TO REMOVE!! All you have to do is take a coin and unscrew it!! Once you unscrew the adapter the shockmount will connect to your stand.

Not much to say about a Spider Mount other than it really does do what it claims to do, providing isolation from vibration between the desk stand the microphone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent! February 17, 2009

By Mark Waldrop

I was "shocked" at the difference this made in my recordings. My wife saw the Samson SP01 on my wish list bought it for me as a gift. When she asked if I needed it, I said, "Probably not, but it couldn't hurt." I live in a small condo with carpeted floors, and I couldn't imagine it making much of a difference. After trying it, though, I noticed a change in the noise levels in my recordings. I use it for recording poetry, and now my poems are very crisp with nothing in the background but soft quiet. My suggestion for anyone looking at this is to buy it. The price is right, and your recording quality will only get better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works for MXL v67g with modification to Mount February 14, 2011

By sanjipeppe

If you've read other reviews, you know this mount is good especially at its price point, but the main question is will this shockmount fit your mic?

Took the risk and purchased his shock mount not knowing whether or not it would fit the MXL v67g. It does, but you need to pry off the round threaded piece on the mount with a flat head screw driver, then use the black threaded piece that came with the MXL v67g to mount the mic.

Works great and better than the MXL shockmounts which use a spring like mechanism and friction to hold the mic up which I have and did not like because it seemed very insecure.

This is not a fits all type of Shockmount, but wished it came with adjustable threading or adapters so that this mount could be used for any microphone with threading at the base.

Samson SP01 Shockmount = 5 STARS
I bought this Samson SP01 Shockmont to use with my Audio Tecnica AT2020USB microphone. It looked as though the two pieces would fit together, but they don't. Not very well anyway. Because of the construction of the mic, it would not tighten down enough to keep from wiggling around. So I took a rubber gasket made for a typical garden hose and used it for a spacer. It them tightened down perfectly. Problem solved. Now the two pieces work perfectly and in harmony together.
This Audio Technica AT2020USB Condenser USB Microphone works beautifully. Just plug it in to any USB and off you go. How easy is that? The sensitivity is great and fully adjustable.

This Shock Mont does what it is supposed to do and eliminate vibration and exterior noise that can translate into your recording. Although the two pieces are different colors, they look great together. I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice quality mount! June 19, 2008

By Alex Vox

I been using these for years and they are strong made of quality materials, great looking, having this razzmatazz character mounts! The clams are stronf and realible and keep mike in a right position. The screw mount allows easily fix them up on the correct angle and use mike up or down!
All this said I assume you realize this is Samson's quality unit for Samson's mikes like C01 to C08 (at a moment of writing) or their equally terrific ribbon mic.
