AKG 414 Shockmount

[sirpunkly]

Hey There,
I have an AKG 414 B-ULS that I need to get a shockmount for. The ones that AKG suggest are over $100. I was curious if anyone knows of cheaper shockmounts that will fit the AKG 414. Anyway, please let me know. Thanks a lot!

It's ~$30 and fits a 414. I just ordered one for my 2nd 414B-ULS.

+1 on the universal shockmount-- I use one on my Blueberry and on my Oktavamodded PE MK-219. Looks like it will fit lots of different mics. You can actually save a couple of bucks I think by getting them from the guy through ebay believe it or not:

Do those Universal Shockmounts hold the mic pretty good? I was looking at the guys pictures of the shockmounts and it looks like the mic would slowly slide out of the mount.

Yeah my experience with them has been pretty good-- the Blueberry has a kind of lip that is right below the grill that rests on the shockmount band. The Oktavamod is significantly smaller, but still fits in securely. You can actually turn the mic 90 degrees so that the wider side is wedged in between the two sides of the shockmount band to make the hold tighter. YMMV
