Musician's GearMY-420 Symmetrical Studio Microphone Shockmount Black Pencil Mic
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A budget shockmount for pencil condensers and similar cylindrical mics. For home and project studios that need to isolate a small-diameter mic from stand rumble.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Small-diaphragm pencil condensers on drum overheads or acoustic guitar
- Home studios on wood floors where footsteps travel up the stand
- Handheld dynamics used stationary on a stand for recording
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Large-diaphragm side-address condensers with wide bodies
- Mics needing a shockmount matched to a specific body shape
- Anyone wanting cradle-style elastic isolation for a heavy mic
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Symmetrical design
Mic sits centered rather than offset, so the stand's balance point does not shift when you angle it.
Detail 03
Metal and high-impact plastic
Metal carries the load, plastic keeps weight down. Fine for stand use, less rugged than all-metal mounts.
Detail 04
Fits cylindrical bodies
Grip is diameter-based, so pencil condensers, handheld dynamics and tube-shaped ribbons all seat the same way.
Detail 05
Black powder coat
Non-reflective under stage or video lighting, and hides scuffs better than bare metal.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your mic's barrel diameter before ordering; grip range decides fit
- 02No mic stand, boom arm or cable included
- 033/8 stands require a separate thread adapter
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit a large-diaphragm condenser?
No. It is built for pencil-style condensers, handheld dynamics and cylindrical ribbon mics. Wide side-address bodies will not seat correctly.
02Does it come with a stand?
No. It is the shockmount only. You supply the stand or boom.
03What thread does it use?
5/8-27, the standard US mic stand thread. For a 3/8 stand you need a thread adapter.
04Does it work on a boom arm?
Yes, on any boom with a 5/8-27 thread. The symmetrical design keeps the mic centered when the boom is angled.
