Radius RAD-1 Shock-Mount w/ 3-PIN XLR Cable

Radius RAD-1 Shock-Mount w/ 3-PIN XLR Cable | Help reduce vibration reaching your microphone

Without a shock mount, a microphone is usually supported directly by its stand, leaving stand movement free to travel towards the mic. The Radius RAD-1 gives you a dedicated shock mount and a 3-pin XLR cable in one product. It’s for recording setups where you want to limit vibration from handling or movement around the microphone, while keeping an XLR connection in the setup. That can be useful for spoken voice, dialogue or other close-mic recording, where bumps to the support can distract from the sound you’re capturing. The RAD-1 is a practical fit for someone putting together a microphone setup around a 3-pin XLR connection. Its appeal is straightforward: the mount addresses vibration, and the cable is part of the same product. If you’re choosing it for a particular microphone, the key question is whether the mount suits that mic.

In a recording setup

Think of the mount and cable as serving different jobs. The shock mount supports the microphone while helping reduce vibration transferred through its support; the cable provides the stated 3-pin XLR connection. For voice recording, place the mic in the mount and keep handling of the stand to a minimum during a take. That gives the shock mount a chance to do its job without adding unnecessary movement nearby. The product name identifies the cable connection, but doesn’t name a particular microphone model, so match the mount to the mic you plan to use.
