Thanks for the response. The MKH70 did not come with a mic clip. I guess I have to buy that then. If it's going to stand and basically no movement, do I need to have shockmount?
It depends on how paranoid you are. I'd recommend one because without it you could pick up the rumble of trucks passing by, people walking down the hall, that kind of thing. YOU may not hear it, but the microphone can't subconsciously filter out background noise and it WILL pick it up. The low-pass filter is after the diaphragm, so all it does is turn low frequency rumble down, not get rid of it. Keep in mind that your mic body is not round. I'd look for a mic clip or shock mount that was designed for it. It will cost more, but you got a good mic. That's the price you pay for quality.
