I Took a Chance... (2008-11-28)
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.

A MUST HAVE FOR RCORDING WITH A MIC STAND (2008-10-27)
YOU NEED THIH TO CORECTLY CONNECT TO A MIC STAND AND REDUCE VIBRATION!EASY TO SET UP AND LOOKS NICE!NOT TOO HEAVY AND NOT TO LIGHT !IF YOU WANT A PROFESSIONAL LOOK AIM FOR THIS!

Easily modded. Nice unit. (2008-10-03)
This Sam SP01 can be easily modded for use with the Oktava MK319. I found instructions through a google search. The metal piece on the bottom of the mic holder must be removed. Instead of hammering it out, I used two screwdrivers to pry it out. That leaves a nice hole which is just a little too small to use. Using my dremel tool, I was able to enlarge the hole just a bit. As a guide the piece you remove fits in a small groove. You must file down the sides til the groove is almost not visible. Then your Oktava will fit just fine. This mod is not easily reversible so keep that in mind before starting. I'll post up a picture later.

I found the screw-on connector to not be that high quality. It wanted to cross thread as I putting it on my mic stand. So I wouldn't want to be taking it off and putting it back on frequently. That's my only complaint about it.

Excellent unit (2008-09-01)
This is a terrific, lightweight, sturdy unit that does its job wonderfully. Any resonance it might have picked up is negated well by the suspension (even when on the floor next to the piano at our church). The machining is first class. Worth the price.

The product arrived in good order and in a timely fashion. I wonder if the rubber bands will hold up. But other than that It is doing the job it was made for and I can really tell the difference with this added piece of equipment.
