Audix SMT-CX112 - Elastic Suspension Mount for CX Series Studio Microphones
Optimize the quality of your recordings and protect your investment with the Audix SMT-CX112 , a high-performance elastic suspension system designed specifically for the CX series of condenser microphones. This accessory is essential for any professional studio or home studio environment, as it physically decouples the microphone from the stand, eliminating unwanted mechanical noise that can ruin a perfect take.
Constructed with a robust aluminum frame , this spider-style microphone stand utilizes a high-tension nylon elastic band system to isolate the microphone. Unlike conventional rigid clamps, the SMT-CX112 absorbs vibrations transmitted through the floor or microphone stand, such as footsteps, accidental bumps, or low-frequency resonances, ensuring a clean and crystal-clear audio signal.
Its design includes a threaded locking ring at the base, ensuring the microphone is securely held in place. This allows the microphone to be positioned in any orientation, even upside down, without risk of it falling, facilitating creative setups for recording vocals, acoustic instruments, or drum overheads .

Benefits for the user
Using the Audix SMT-CX112 makes all the difference between an amateur and a professional recording. By eliminating structural noise before it reaches the microphone capsule, it reduces the need for harsh low-cut filters in post-production, preserving the natural warmth and body of the voice or instrument. It also provides a professional aesthetic and protects the microphone from direct impacts to the stand.

Voice recording: Ideal for singers and announcers, preventing body movements or impacts on the floor from filtering into the recording.
-
Acoustic instruments: Perfect for guitars or pianos where background silence is critical.
-
Podcast and Broadcast: Keeps the microphone stable and free from noise from tables or articulated arms.
-
Batteries: Excellent for positioning room or overhead microphones without picking up direct vibration from the battery hardware.
