Hi Gareth,

Ive got a spare black/matte shockmount that I have which I used with one of my U67's. Im happy to donate mine in exchange for a couple of ciders (im not much of a beer drinker). I replaced mine with a I replaced it with a Peluso nickel one that I bought online.

The Rycote USM stuff works well too, not a traditional look if that matters

Hi Mike, I've only used them on BN mics specifically, but haven't had any issue with them. They seem quite vanilla but have been solid enough.

Dan, thank you for the feedback.

Neumann mounts are godly expensive & P&P are done & dusted.

www.new-media.com.au seem to have their pricing wrong on the Rycote USM as it's cheaper than the USM-L.
