Know before you buy
The Swift is designed to accommodate any microphone with a body diameter between 40 mm and 60 mm. As long as your mic falls within this range, it will provide a secure and stable fit.
Instead of relying on elastic bands that can degrade or snap over time, the Swift uses a medical-grade latex suspension system. This band-free design offers more consistent vibration isolation and significantly better long-term durability.
Not at all. The mount features quick-release springs that allow you to mount or remove your microphone in seconds, making it ideal for setups that require frequent adjustments.
Yes, the mount is constructed from a robust blend of aluminium and fiberglass-filled nylon. It is built to be both lightweight and durable enough for daily professional use.
The ShockStar suspension is engineered specifically to dampen unwanted mechanical noise and vibrations. While it provides excellent isolation for most studio environments, its effectiveness is optimized when used with a sturdy microphone stand.
