Electro-Voice 309A Suspension Shock Mount for RE20, RE27N/D and RE320 Microphones

Not much to say here. It appears to be a genuine EV 309A Shock Mount. It is very nice. Strong. Good design. It came with an extra set of rubber suspensions. It's big though. Actually, so is the mic so it's proportional to the size of the mic. I just found it hard to spend 20% of the cost of the mic for the mount. I rated the value for the money low. It is well built and is a good product. What I mean is that EV inflated the price and fixed that high price across the market. It is rather expensive for what it is but if you have a mic like the RE-27 I think there's no other shock mount that will be as nice as this one.

I was at first skeptical of how good the shock isolation would be with this shock mount. I recently purchased another brand of shock mount for another dynamic mic, and I was very disappointed with the result. Cooling fans from the other equipment on the table top still telegraphed through my boom and were picked up by the mic. I used my EV RE-20 without a shock mount for awhile, and I got a noticeable amount of noise through the boom. This afternoon, my 309A shock mount arrived, and I installed it immediately. The difference is stark. The vibration from the other equipment is completely gone! The cooling fans on everything were running at full speed, and they didn't telegraph through the RE-20 at all! I heard only my breathing in the background as I potted up the RE-20. Count me as one very happy customer! The EV RE-20 is my microphone of choice for voice work, and the 309A is an indispensable part of the RE-20.

It's a perfect shock mount for an RE20 or 27. Goes together easily and fits to most mic booms. Easily adjustable to fit your needs for speaking comfort. Part of the studio standards we have come to know and rely on. QRZ?

Nice shock mount super cool look, functions well but a little pricey in my opinion. You really don't need this, but it's really cool looking lol.

Fits the RE20 like a glove.

I purchased the EV-RE20 and saw a deal for a microphone stand with a NON-309A mount made by Arrow. The arrow mount was bad. I went back to Amazon and purchased the 309A mount and now I'm happy again. I only recommend 309A mount for EV products because they are engineered properly.

I chose this model because it's compatible with the microphone I use (RE20). Assembly is easy, but the mic feels top-heavy bc I have it on a desktop mic stand rather than a boom arm so it's inverted. Every radio studio I've ever used has arms, and it feels much more supported that way. They included 4 extra neoprene cords if these ever give out so that's an added bonus.

I've had other shock mounts, but this is really the one that goes with the RE20. I've used these in a broadcast studio setting on a broadcast arm, but I'm also using this in my home studio inverted and mounted on a desk mic stand. It works perfectly, but the only thing I'd advise is the 309 shock mount is kind of tall when you mount it inverted, so you might need a shorter stem on your mic stand if you'll be seated while using the mic. Otherwise, you'll have to point the mic down to speak directly into it. Personal preference, but I like the mic level or slightly pointed up (for reading monitors or notes while speaking. It's worth the extra money to have the correct shock mount for this mic.

I bought this begrudgingly because the price and the aesthetic are issues for me. The RE20 is very sensitive and amplifies the noise on my desk mounted boom arm and every time I touched the desk I'd get a bass guitar noise from the vibrations. This is not the case when mounted to a standard mic stand. There is something about this mic, the desk and desk mounted boom arm that creates a special tonal instrument. Anyway, I had to do something about it and I thought the simplest solution would be the 309A and I wasn't wrong. For the price you get something well made and perfectly suited for the mic. I didn't like the aesthetic at first but now that I use it I appreciate the extra length it gives my boom arm and I like that you can grab and adjust the mic by the stand itself. Very 'handy'. So I'd reccomend for anyone in my situation.

Very good build and condition

The EV 309A is beautiful. It’s pleasing to the eye, and most importantly, it works in shielding your sensitive mic from vibrations. However, its biggest drawback is not even in its price, as people are happy to pay for quality, but in a critical design flaw in which the thread to fasten the shock mount to the boom arm is waaaaay too short, thus causing the mount to loosen every time the boom arm is pivoted. This is exceptionally annoying as you’re going to find yourself tightening the mount several times a day if you’re one who likes to pivot the boom arm throughout the day.

Awesome structure - just write

Pricey microphone specific shock-mount, but there is a reason why and it's worth it! The shock-mount is designed for a select few Electro-Voice microphones and it is a must in environments where the microphone is adjusted or mounted on a stand which is susceptible to vibration, such as a mic desk boom arm. Please note, the shock-mount is large in comparison to other shock-mounts, but that is to accommodate the physical dimensions of the microphone.
