Hello,

I'm looking to reinforce an acoustic stage setup with a sensitive mic
or two, rather than a bunch of sm-57's stuck all over the place. I've
seen some bluegrass setups where they are actually singing into
something like a TLM-103 rather than a typical dynamic mic. I think
I've even seen some piano guys sing into a giant Neumann 149. Low
stage volume, acoustic situations.

So I'm wondering if shockmounts are a "don't leave home without it"
tool in these situations. SM-58's and the like typically don't use
shockmounts, but a sensitive large-diaphragm caridiod might want some
hand-holding against the low-frequency stage rumbling monster.
