The Spacer Ball Size Guide
Our Spacer Balls are designed to provide consistent spacing and optimal positioning for your shotgun and pencil microphones inside suspension mounts and baskets. They keep your mic centred and reduce handling noise by preventing the microphone from touching the inside of the mount.
There are three mount sizes based on your microphone's diameter. Find your mic manufacturer and model below to see which Spacer Ball fits.
