Hi, everyone!
An Avantone CR-14 ribbon mic found its way to my workbench to repair that is missing the suspension shock mount. Avantone wants a whopping $69 plus shipping for one. They are the same as Nude Microphones' Rectangular Ribbon.
The mount is a universal clamp type that I have seen a few years ago on various websites for around $10 to $15 back when I was active building mic kits. I almost bought one then but opted for a different model with a round clamp with specific diameter rather than angular universal clamp.
Sadly I can't find these any more, post-pandemic.
Here are some photos.
It's shorter vertically than most of the universal shock mounts out there.
If you know where I might be able to source just one unit of these at something close to what other universal mounts cost on AliExpress, please let me know.
If I can't find one new, I'll probably wait for a used one to pop up somewhere or 3D print something. Worst case, there are some truly universal mounts that would fit (the ones with three or four screw-in clamps).
Thanks in advance!
