Product overview
The SCHOEPS AC 20 is a highly effective elastic suspension (shock mount) for 20 mm diameter microphones, for use in the studio or on stage.
It holds the CMC 1 U and CMC 6 microphone amplifiers and the CMD 42 digital amplifier with their capsules. The microphone is inserted simply by squeezing the holder, and is then held reliably and free of noise. The suspension uses professional-quality isolators, which can be exchanged for optimal decoupling; different stiffnesses can even be used for the front and rear isolators.
The foot has a 5/8"-27 NS inner thread, with adapters for 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch included, and the tilt angle of the microphone is adjustable. A cable clip and two pairs of isolators, stiff and soft, come with the AC 20.
