 Blue's Ringer Shockmount is Very Cool! September 5, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Blue's [[ASIN: B000H18RYS Ringer Shockmount for Ball Microphones]] is all it's cracked up to be. It is well-designed, well-constructed and does a fine job of isolating a microphone from extranious sources of noise. As suggested in Blue's product literature, the shockmount can be used with other microphones in addition to Blue's Ball, 8-Ball, Kick Ball and Snow Ball, for which it was designed. It even worked fine with an AKG C1000S, though it took some careful fingerwork to get the AKG clip screwed down in the Ringer and it looked a little askew. Blue's Ball microphones and the Ringer Shockmount are larger than I'd imagined and look absolutely cool together: retro and modern all at once. What a shame the shockmount was given a mediocre rating by a person who reviewed it without taking it out of the packaging (for lack of a mike stand, no less). At least he noted how well the 8-Ball worked. (There is a joke here, somewhere.) I wish I could make up for that grossly off base review by rating the Ringer Shockmount seven or eight, but five is the top rating available. I would suggest using a good quality stand with the Ringer; it might be top heavy paired with many of the cheap, flimsy mike stands currently on the market. Thoughtful counter-weighting using a solid boom will resolve most difficulties and facilitate creative mike placement possibilities. Note that these are studio and performance rather than desktop considerations. Although I find no reason to doubt their compatibility with the Ringer, I have no experience with the Snow Ball, Blue's tripod stand, or for that matter, with podcasting. As far as the Ringer Shockmount, as with all Blue products I've purchased to date, I'm very pleased and impressed!

I decided to get the ringer at the same time as my 8-ball to save some money on shipping. I have a failry cheap microphone that I've used for a year to do some home recording. The old mic gives me a constant B-fllat and it's a little annoying, so I bought the ringer thinking the blue mic would have the same problem if it was recording while sitting on my desk. NOT SO. The 8-ball is a superb microphone for the budding rock-start/podcaster (maybe overkill, but is there really such a thing). In short, the 8-ball does a fantastic job recording a clear, white noise free track while sitting on my desk. Also I don't have a stand to attach the ringer to, so right now the ringer is sitting pretty in it's packaging.
I would love for Blue to sell the tripod by itsell rather than only sell it in combo with the snowball. If you already have a mic stand AND are using more high end software that could record the miniscule background noise I'd recommend the Blue Ringer.
