The old, saggy-ass elastic bands in the shock mount for my AKG C414 are beyond useless at this point. I recently tried to buy new ones at the local Long & McQuade but they had to do a “special order.” They subsequently phoned me to say the elastics are $19.99 each. So $45.18 all in.
For 2 elastic bands.
So that’s a no.

I see that one of those sketchy Ali Express sites has them for like 6 bucks.
I dunno.

If you could only have ONE microphone, what would it be?

I'll start. It would be an AKG-414ULS. No, not a Nuemann 87.

The AKG has be solid in the 15 years I've had it. It can be used for anything, has multiple patterns, and just sounds great on everything. So if I could only own ONE, this would be THE ONE.
