What microphone sizes does the H85 fit?

The H85 accommodates microphone shaft diameters from 19mm to 26mm (3/4" to 1"), including cylindrical and conical microphone bodies and connectors. This universal clamping range covers most professional microphones from major manufacturers without modification.

How does the H85 compare to the earlier H100 model?

The H85 features a noticeably lower-profile design than the H100, making it more compact for studio setups or portable rigs where space is limited. Both use spider-type elastomer suspension for vibration isolation, but the H85's smaller footprint reduces reflections and keeps stand configurations tighter.

Will the H85 damage my microphone?

No. The H85 employs a robust clamping mechanism specifically designed to grip microphones securely without causing damage to the microphone body or finish.

What isolation performance can I expect?

The H85 uses elastomer suspension elements to decouple airborne vibration and mechanical noise from reaching your microphone, keeping rumble, handling noise, and vibration out of your recordings or live sound.

AKG H85 Universal Shock Mount

The AKG H85 is a compact, spider-type shock mount engineered to isolate microphones from mechanical vibration and handling noise during recording and live tracking. Its low-profile construction sits noticeably smaller than the earlier H100 model, making it ideal for compact studio setups, rehearsal spaces, or portable recording rigs where footprint matters. The mount grips securely without fussiness, accommodating a wide range of microphone sizes with reliable damping performance that keeps your signal clean on stage or in the studio.

Mount Design & Compatibility

This universal mount accepts microphone shaft diameters from 19mm to 26mm (3/4" to 1"), with an external ring diameter of 100mm (4 inches). The clamping range spans 19–26mm, allowing it to secure both cylindrical and conical microphone bodies or connectors without modification, making it genuinely versatile across different microphone types and manufacturers.

Build & Isolation Performance

Finished in dark gray, the H85 employs elastomer suspension elements typical of spider-type mounts to decouple airborne vibration from reaching your microphone. The low-profile design reduces acoustic reflections and keeps your stand setup compact for gigging and session work, while the robust clamping mechanism ensures stable positioning during tracking, live performance, or critical recording moments.
