The Hook Studios MD-150-70 Mechanical Decoupler is a patent-pending microphone mount designed to separate the metal stand from the metal or rubber clip of the microphone, stopping the metal-to-metal connection that can have adverse effects on the resulting sound. It’s designed to minimize the vibration that can occur, particularly as loud signals impact the microphone.

Using custom-machined aluminum fittings alongside a center-compression absorber (fashioned out of a viscoelastic polymer), the MD-150-70 improves the sound of your recording by increasing the clarity, as unwanted metallic resonances will not interfere with the fundamentals and overtones being captured. This mount will decouple the microphone from the stand regardless of the angle of employment, or direction of use.

The size of this mount is compatible with most standard studio microphones, up to the weight of a U87 or similar large-diaphragm condenser, and will fit with all 5/8”-27 threads. The product is suitable for use in live sound scenarios, as well as in recording on location or in studios.

A: Dear SirOn the Minimax, there an over weight protection. So it can not break, but at 15 pounds and more the spring will not work and the rope will be at the maximum expansion. Hope it will help. Pierre

Q: 10. Will this work with a Shure SM57?

A: I doubt it would fit an SM 57. There just isn't enough room for the breadth of the mic head to fit within the curvature of the Octo. Plus one of the things I've learned about the Octo is that it is still susceptible to pops from air coming around the sides - and you would have even less side space with the Octo on an SM 57.
