Shock Mounts
I've got a question. Call me retarded if you so choose, but I can't for my life figure out how to hook my CAD into its shock mount. It's a GXL3000, and the shock mount came with it, so I'd assume that it would attach well. I feel like a moron for asking, but could someone post a step by step 'how to' guide of how to connect a large diaphragm condenser into a shock mount?
Thanks! - Andrew

Re: Shock Mounts
There should be two springy clips that you squeeze together to loosen the mount, and just slip the body of the mic into the ring... or is it a different setup?

Re: Shock Mounts
Ahhhhh, thanks. I had tried that, but I guess I just wasn't pushing hard enough. It's in, and I'm ready to record some album (or maybe another SF song for once!). Thanks Mark!

Re: Shock Mounts
Unrelated to the OP, but a shockmount question:
My BLUE Dragonfly is an awesome mic, but the shockmount that came with it is nearly dead, due to perishing elasticity.
Sure it looks cool, but think about it: Heavy-ass microphone suspended by two small bungees. Great idea.
Basically, does anyone have experience replacing bungees in a shockmount? I can't imagine it'll be too difficult, as BLUE did manage to make disassembly possible, so I guess matching the right thickness of bungee is the most important thing.

Re: Shock Mounts
Why not contact BLUE and complain? I would think they would send a replacement.

Re: Shock Mounts
Eh, I've had it for like two years, and it'll be a cheap fix, so I'm not all that worried. It's just a little annoying that such a badass mic has such a poorly-designed - albeit awesome looking - shockmount.
