Every microphone should be shock-mounted.
TENSIMOUNT™ DOES IT - PRACTICALLY AND AFFORDABLY!
Why
you should use Tensimount:
Microphones
are specifically designed to pick up the most subtle nuances of
vibration, and how are they held? Tightly clipped into rigid metal
stands. Every movement of the stand, every footfall on the floor,
every ugly vibration caused by monitor speakers, amps and drums
- garbage - amplified - distorted - spewed out and recorded.

| Universal
fit
|
| Any
microphone that can be mounted on a microphone stand (and
even some that can't) can be used with the unique patented
Tensimounttm microphone shock-mount. The Tensimount modular
system is the only truly universal shock-mount system. It
not only brings high quality isolation to the microphone system,
it also brings a new level of convenience to microphone management.
|
 |
| Most
microphones can be directly mounted into the Tensimount. The
microphone is easily woven into the center of the bands. The
mutual tension of the special elastic mounting bands floats
the microphone in the center of the Tensimount rings. Once
mounted, the Tensimount becomes an integral part of the microphone.
|
 |
| Once
in the Tensimount, your microphone fits into a standard microphone
clip. Note the security bands that slip over the clip and
hold the Tensimount securely in place. Most tapered clips
hold the Tensimount perfectly - chances are you already have
several clips to fit the Tensimount. The clip shown in the
photo is perfect, and is available at a reasonable price from
our shopping site and distributors. You can buy Tensimounts
with or without a clip. |
 |
| Oversized
studio-type microphones are securely mounted with the ingenious
"BigMike™" adapter. Big Mike screws
onto the microphone like a standard mic. stand. That means
that any microphone that can be mounted on a stand can be
mounted in a Tensimount. Notice the large knob on the top
of Big Mike. This is to adjust the angle of the microphone
- one more way that the Tensimount system makes microphone
management more convenient. |
 |
| Mechanical
feedback distortion
|
It's
like regular feedback but much worse. Microphones pick up
vibrations straight from the floor through the stands. Expensive
filters and equalizers won't touch this form of highly distorted
feedback. The only solution is to knock it out at the source.
Tensimount microphone isolators were invented for this very
purpose. They make it possible to float an entire mic
system in a resilient web of rubber.

| The
floating mic system
|
| When
you think about it, it's amazing that microphones are usually
so poorly mounted.
Microphones
are specifically designed to pick up the most subtle nuances
of vibration, and how are they held? Tightly clipped into
rigid metal stand. Every movement of the stand, every footfall
on the floor, every ugly vibration caused by monitor speakers,
amps and drums - garbage - amplified - distorted - spewed
out and recorded.
Floating your
whole system is the obvious answer, and Tensimount makes
it possible. At last, you can have the peace of mind of
a totally floating mic system. Ease of use, universal fit
and modular convenience at an extreeeemely affordable price. |

Noises

| See
and hear the difference a Tensimount can make:
You may find
it hard to believe that this is the same mic at the same
level. In the After clip, the microphone picks up
the sound of the mallet hitting the stand. In the Before
clip you hear a whole lot more!
