MIC ACCESSORIES 

The following accessories are helpful for mounting microphones or for reducing their noise 
pickup: 

•

  Mic stand with a baby boom 

•

  Clip-on mic mount (such as made by Mic-Eze at www.ac-cetera.com) 

•

  Shock mount: isolates the mic from stand and floor thumps. 

•

  Pop filter: prevents breath pops from the letters p and b. Hoop or disk pop filters work 

much better than foam windscreens. 

 
Microphone manufacturers are happy to send you free catalogs and application notes, suggesting 
which microphones might be good for home recording. Your dealers may have this literature, or 
you can get the information from the Web. 

Remember, you can use any microphone on any instrument or vocal if it sounds good to you. 
Just try it and see if you like it.
