Samson SP03 Shockmount for Condenser Microphone

Samson SP03 Shockmount for Condenser Microphones

The Samson SP03 is a spider-style shockmount designed to isolate select Samson condenser microphones from mechanical vibration. It supports models including the C01, C03, CL7, CL7A, CL8, CL8A, C01U, C01U Pro and C03U. The mount attaches to any standard microphone stand or boom arm and includes a 5/8" to 3/8" thread adapter. Builders using non-Samson microphones or models outside the listed series will need a different mount.

Practical limits of the shockmount interface

The shockmount isolates the microphone from handling noise and low-frequency rumble transmitted through the stand. Its spider suspension works within a maximum load of 1.25 lbs, so heavier microphones exceed the rated capacity. The included thread adapter fits standard 5/8" and 3/8" stand threads, but proprietary mounting systems are not supported. Users requiring isolation for heavier broadcast microphones should verify weight compatibility before purchase.

Maximum weight capacity decides fit

The single specification that determines whether this shockmount suits a setup is the 1.25 lbs maximum weight capacity. Any microphone heavier than this limit risks sagging or reduced isolation performance. The listed Samson condenser models fall within this range, ensuring proper suspension tension. Always confirm the microphone's published weight against this figure before buying.
