PROEL APM215 - Professional anti-vibration mount for condenser microphone (Ø 22-24 mm)
Elevate the quality of your recordings and eliminate unwanted noise with the Proel APM215 , an essential sound isolation solution for sound engineers, musicians, and content creators. This suspension stand, commonly known as a "spider," has been specifically designed for small-diaphragm condenser pencil microphones and shotgun microphones that require absolute stability. Its robust construction and intelligent design act as an effective barrier against mechanical vibrations that often ruin a perfect take.
The core of the APM215 lies in its dual elastic spring system. This floating architecture physically decouples the microphone from the floor stand or boom arm, absorbing shocks, accidental bumps to the mic stand, or even simple footstep noise in the studio (low and sub-bass frequencies). Constructed from a high-density ABS shell, it offers a perfect balance between lightness and durability, ensuring it doesn't add unnecessary weight to your boom arm or boom setup.
A distinctive feature of this model is its internal protective cover . Unlike standard rigid clips that can mark or scratch the chassis of your valuable microphones, the APM215 incorporates a soft coating on the clamping ring. This not only protects the aesthetics of your equipment but also improves frictional grip, keeping the microphone firmly in place even at angled positions, as is often necessary when miking drums or acoustic instruments.
Main features
-
Superior isolation: The double-band elastic suspension system effectively neutralizes structural noise and low-frequency vibrations.
-
Durable hybrid construction: Reinforced ABS main body for lightness and metal threaded components for long service life.
-
Equipment protection: The retaining ring has an internal lining or sheath that prevents scratches and ensures a firm grip without damaging the microphone's finish.
-
Specific compatibility: Precision-engineered for microphones with a body diameter between 22 mm and 24 mm, the usual standard for instrument condenser microphones.
-
Universal mounting: Standard thread compatible with the vast majority of straight microphone stands, boom arms, and desktop stands on the market.
Product benefits
For the sound engineer or self-recording musician, the Proel APM215 transforms signal clarity. By eliminating bass rumble caused by the floor or stand handling, it produces a much cleaner audio track that requires less corrective EQ during mixing. Furthermore, its professional design lends a serious studio aesthetic to any setup, conveying confidence and attention to detail. It's an economical investment that protects microphones that are typically much more expensive.
Use cases
This stand is highly versatile within its specific size range:
-
Drum recording (Overheads): Ideal for holding condenser microphones above the drum kit, isolating them from the vibration transmitted by the bass drum through the floor.
-
Acoustic instruments: Perfect for positioning microphones in front of acoustic guitars, violins or pianos where absolute silence from the stand is critical.
-
Choir capture: Allows microphones to be placed in high positions with long booms without transmitting vibrations from the structure.
-
Filming and Direct Sound: Useful for short shotgun microphones that fit the diameter, mounted on poles or fixed stands indoors.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this stand suitable for a Shure SM58 type microphone?
No. The Shure SM58 and similar models are dynamic microphones with a tapered handle that is typically wider. The APM215 is designed for thinner (22-24 mm) cylindrical condenser microphones.
Can I use it with large diaphragm studio microphones (like the Neumann U87)?
No, the 22-24 mm diameter is too small for large-diaphragm microphones. This model is specifically designed for pencil or instrument microphones.
Does the bracket include the thread adapter?
The stand comes with a standard metal thread to ensure compatibility with professional microphone stands. Always check whether your stand requires a 3/8" or 5/8" thread.
