Step
Four:
Attach
bands to support the mic. The mic should be held firmly
but not stiffly by whatever kind of band you use.
I think two sets of bands (front and back) are best to stabilize
most mics. I needed a method to pass the rubber bands
through the center of the shock mount frame frame.
Using the dremel tool and cutting disks, I cut slots in
the frame (be sure you stagger the slots, as one band will
be in front of the other). Be sure your bands are
close enough that shorter mics will be held by the front
and back.
Step
Five:
Pass
the ends of the bands through the slots in the frame.
The cable bands I bought had plastic clasps with them, I
passed them through the loops created by passing the ends
of the bands through the slots. If you choose to use
rubber-bands or elastic, a pencil, bolt, or just about anything
thicker than the slots will hold the bands in place.
