Review on πŸŽ™οΈ InnoGear Adjustable Microphone Stand for Blue Yeti with Shock Mount, Pop Filter, and Cable Ties - Medium by Kim Schenk

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Useless shock absorber, useless product.

I got this because it was a cheap package with a shock absorber and a pop screen. Pop filters are easy to find and they're all the same, but it seemed like a convenient way to kill two birds with one stone. I received a separate stand, I bought this only for the assembly and the filter. My AT2020 XLR barely got into the shock and when I finally pushed it in I saw and the suspension part of the shock touched the rest of it. Useless! It's not actually suspended so the vibrations can only penetrate where it makes contact with the rest of the stand! The shock mount is so cluttered because it doesn't fit the mic as advertised (it's supposed to work with the AT2020). All those $5 or $10 pop filters are the same, they are pop filters. I can't be wrong And I already had a stand. The only real value in it was that he added a cheap shock absorber along with a $17 pop filter. But you get what you pay for I think. I reckon I'll spend about $50 on decent suspension now. Disappointing. All it has to do is hang up the mic and I wasn't expecting this cheap option to be great, but it's literally useless and failing to do its only job other than adding volume to my stand. The only good thing was that it didn't damage the mic despite being wedged firmly into the mount. i will be honest You listen because you are looking for a cheap solution to problems. I run the voice acting hobby for little money. I spent $100 on a mic, $110 on an audio interface, and $40 on a decent weighted desktop stand due to the recording space I have (I wasn't planning on putting the stand in using this kit, which many reviewers thought was pretty good). bad anyway), $10 for an XLR cable. I didn't want to spend more than $300 just to get started with an XLR setup. But folks, but wait and save. Sometimes it's cheap, sometimes it's too cheap to work. Hang in there, find overtime or odd jobs, try putting an extra $50 or something into your setup if you feel like you're really cutting corners. Let this cheap $17 basket full of goodies teach you a lesson. Also, keep in mind that with voiceovers, don't forget to devote some time and resources to the actual recording room. Whether it's a makeshift recording booth, a good old fashioned closet, or under the covers. Writing space is often overlooked. But your initial sound setup will be useless without a solid seat. From an animation director who has to work with voice actors (and tries to get into voice acting himself as a hobby).
