Home / Neumann 006207 Shock mount Z 26 mt Rubber shock mount which inserted between the stand and the swivel mount
Product Overview
The Z 26 mt (006207) is engineered for engineers who need high-quality vibration damping without the bulk of a full elastic suspension. It features a rugged yet flexible rubber core that acts as a mechanical low-pass filter, absorbing energy from footsteps, stage rumble, or HVAC systems before it can reach the microphone capsule. Because it sits at the base of the swivel mount, it is compatible with a wide range of Neumann microphones—especially those in the KM Series, TLM Series, and KMS Series—providing a discreet and reliable solution for clean audio capture.
Product Description
Compact and High-Efficiency Damping:
Traditional elastic shock mounts can sometimes be difficult to position in tight spaces or on camera. The Z 26 mt offers a "stealth" alternative. By utilizing a high-density rubber damping element, it provides significant isolation from mechanical shocks. It is particularly effective at taming the low-frequency "thumps" caused by handling the microphone stand or vibrations traveling through a studio floor.
Seamless Integration with Swivel Mounts:
The Z 26 mt is designed to be a bridge. It features a 1/2" threaded stud on the top to securely attach to Neumann swivel mounts (such as the SG 21 or SG 105) and a standard 5/8"-27 female thread on the bottom for mounting to any professional microphone stand. This "inline" design ensures that the microphone remains balanced and secure, even when positioned at extreme angles for overhead miking or drum tracking.
Discreet "mt" Professional Finish:
As part of the Neumann "mt" (Matte Black) accessory line, the Z 26 mt is built for visual discretion. Its non-reflective surface ensures that it does not catch studio lights or cause glare during filmed performances or television broadcasts. This makes it a favorite for "visual radio" setups and live concerts where a clean stage aesthetic is required.
Universal Utility across the Neumann Line:
While it is a simple accessory, its utility is vast. It is the perfect companion for:
KM Series: KM 184, KM 183, and KM 185 "pencil" microphones.
KMS Series: Adding an extra layer of protection for KMS 104/105 handheld mics on stands.
TLM Series: Providing backup isolation for microphones already using the EA 1 or EA 4 mounts.
Broadcast: Decoupling BCM 104 or BCM 705 mics from desk-mounted boom arms.
Key Features
In-Line Isolation: Mounts directly between the stand and the swivel mount for a low profile.
High-Density Rubber Core: Absorbs structural vibrations and subsonic floor noise.
Universal 5/8"-27 Thread: Fits all standard professional microphone stands and boom arms.
1/2" Threaded Stud: Seamlessly connects to Neumann-specific swivel mounts.
Non-Reflective Matte Black: Ideal for film, television, and discreet stage use.
All-Metal Housing: Rugged construction ensures long-term durability in the field.
Space-Saving Design: Provides shock protection without the bulk of a suspension basket.
Applications
Television & Film: Provides vibration safety for boom-mounted microphones without being visible.
Live Stage: Protects microphones from stage-borne rumble caused by bass amps and drums.
Podcasting & Radio: Decouples the microphone from keyboard typing or desk movements.
Drum Overheads: Prevents cymbal stand vibrations from muddying the overhead signal.
Acoustic Instrument Miking: Ensures a clean signal when miking cellos or upright basses where floor vibration is high.
