Handling noise comes through AT897 on an AT8410a

[Johnnyfive]

Hello

I'm using an AT897 on an AT8410a shock mount. I've noticed there is considerable handling noise from the boom pole coming through. Even lightly tapping the base of the mount registers. The bands on the shock mount look fine and nothing seems to be off. I'm using good cables too, can't hear nothing from tapping them. Is this common with this setup? Should I be worrying more about the mic than the mount or vice versa? Thanks!

Sounds like you need a better shock mount....

Thanks! I thought it might be that. Any recommendations on a new one?

Take a look at Rycote's Invision mounts. Inexpensive and very effective.
