OSIX Vibration Transmissibility Curve
In a nutshell

Until now, the majority of microphone shock mounts used a rubber material as vibration isolator. Cinela innovates with a reversed cradle supported by two special stainless steel crossed spring rings. This cradle, made of very light fiberglass reinforced polyamide, integrates a very short metallic female XLR plug with a right angle exit. A simple elastic collar retains the microphone at the other end of the cradle. The 3/8" pitch (Congress pitch) swivel and the plate supporting the male XLR plug are molded in a single polycarbonate piece. The cable, thin and flexible, forming a large coil (possibly reduced for convenience) is capable to avoid any cable noise transmission.

The use of these two crossed rings, whose aeronautic stainless steel underwent a particular treatment, makes it possible to offer an optimal compromise between isolation and firmness of the microphone mounting on its 6 degrees of freedom. It considerably reduces all the resonance frequencies of the shock mount/microphone system with a 40 dB at 100 Hz transmissibility reduction. Used jointly with a low cut filter with steep slope at 50-70 Hz (e.g. Schoeps LC 60 -18 dB/oct at 60 Hz), this shock mount makes it possible to significantly soften shocks on the boom and all handling noises.

Because of a very precise study about the correlation between the microphone length and weight and the isolating system, the Osix shock mounts are firstly declined in four different sized models: Osix 1 for Neumann KM 100 series, Osix 2 for Schoeps CMC series, Osix 3 for Sennheiser MKH 20 to 50 series and Osix 3-60 specifically for MKH 60.

Our recommendations

Of very simple handling, very light, this shock mount could nevertheless possibly look fragile, it should not be used on difficult situations like war news.
