Replacement Bands for AT8410a
Here we go again. Two of my AT8410a shock mounts are the old style. AT no longer
offers replacement bands for them. AT8410a Shock Mount on AT website: http://goo.gl/F2AH4 To add to the confusion, there are two models of the "a" mount. One version uses the single band, the older style like I have uses two or four bands. A person on a form recommended an industrial source for replacement bands: McMaster-Carr O-Rings: http://www.mcmaster.com/#o-rings/=fl6gtx Since I know NOTHING about rubber o-rings, I don't have a clue where to start. What rubber material is used in the typical shock mount? The new AT mounts use chloroprene, whatever that is. McMaster-Carr doesn't list chloroprene. What rubber is similar to it in composition and performance? Another person in a forum suggested hair bands. I found the exact ones he recommended, but they're crap. The mic droops because the bands are not tight enough. Gearslutz: http://goo.gl/EeN3s Apparently Ty has the same old units as he posted about them in another forum. He posted Jim Walker's response that the old units are not repairable, but I didn't see what he opted for as a final solution. Ty post at audio-forums: http://goo.gl/o60VK By the time I buy a large enough variety of o-rings that may or may not work, I could probably buy new mounts, but I thought I would ask to see if anyone has made any progress with this problem since the last discussion. |
