Detail 01
Hard mount, not a shockmount
The mic bolts rigidly to the stand. Floor and desk vibration travels straight into the capsule.

Sterling AudioHM3 Hard Mount for S30 Microphone
Sale
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A metal hard mount that fixes a Sterling Audio S30 to a mic stand. Buy it if your S30 shipped without a mount or yours broke.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a lost or cracked mount on an existing S30
- A second S30 rig so you stop swapping hardware between stands
- Fixed placement where a shockmount's sway is a nuisance
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone recording in a room with foot traffic or desk thumps
- Mics other than the S30 — the clip is sized to it
- Shoppers who wanted the mic itself, not the hardware
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
Model-specific to the S30
Sized around that body. Other large-diaphragm condensers will not seat correctly in it.
Detail 03
Under six dollars
Cheap enough to keep a spare in the case rather than tearing down a session over a broken mount.
Detail 04
Stand-mounted accessory
It only holds the mic. Positioning, height and boom reach are all down to the stand you already own.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No mic, stand, cable or shockmount included — this is the mount alone
- 02Confirm your stand thread; adapters are sold separately
- 03On a suspended floor or desk, budget for a shockmount instead
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this work with other Sterling mics?
It is built for the S30. Other bodies differ in diameter and length, so assume it will not fit unless you are holding an S30.
02Is a shockmount included or is this it?
This is a hard mount. The mic attaches rigidly with no suspension elastic, so it is not a shockmount and does not include one.
03Do I need a stand adapter?
Depends on your stand. Check whether your stand top is the same thread as the mount before ordering, and add an adapter if it isn't.
04Will this reduce handling noise?
No. A rigid mount passes vibration through to the mic. If bumps and floor noise are your problem, you want suspension instead.
