Hello,
I have this (alctron rebranded) mic RB-500:
The mounting is far too prone to movement noise and often ruins recording. I want to convert it to shock mounting and replace the integrated cable (weak strain relief) with a bottom mounted XLR. Pretty much exactly what http://shinybox.com/ribbon_microphones.php is doing.
I found this cheap ideal shockmount: http://www.thomann.de/fi/the_tbone_sct700_ersatzspinne.htm
But it requires some threaded bottom mounting part that looks something like the one here:
The mic where the shockmount is meant is again some alctron rebrand: http://www.thomann.de/fi/the_tbone_sct700_roehrenmikrofon.htm
So where to get or how to make that threaded bottom mounting XLR part?
Thanks,
Mike
