K-Tek KSSM Short Shock Mount, 2-Point Suspension
The K-Tek KSSM short shock mount holds a microphone at two points set close together.
The mounts sit 1 3/8 in (3.5 cm) apart and grip mics 19 to 21 mm in diameter. K-Tek designed it around the Sanken CS-1. The CS-1 has a small mounting area at the rear, so other shock mounts cover its side vents and get in the way of a windscreen.
Polymer mounts attach to thin machined aluminum arms. The assembly is rugged enough for boom poles in ENG and documentary work.

About K-Tek Shock Mounts
K-Tek, based in Vista, California, makes shock mounts for shotgun microphones. Its four-point models use K-Tek’s own KSUS polymer suspenders, and its two-point models hold the mic in polymer mounts on a machined aluminum frame. The range also includes the Airo ASM1, with an adapter that fits boom poles and mic stands.
