Cloud Microphones debuts new Universal Mic Mount
Cloud Microphones debuts new Universal Mic Mount

San Francisco, CA – Cloud Microphones is showing their new U1, an innovative and affordable microphone mount ($179 MSRP, $149 MAP). The Cloud U1 is a virtually indestructible shock-mount considerably superior to the more conventional 'cat's cradle' suspension used in other designs.

The U1 makes use of Rycote’s patented vibration-resistant W-shaped Lyre Mount system carefully oriented around a central mounting ring with fully adjustable fasteners. The U1 will fit all Cloud Microphones boutique ribbon mics, but can also handle a wide array of classic and modern mics, including larger mics that are difficult to mate or those that have been previously limited to proprietary mounts.

“Every engineer we’ve shown these mounts to has been amazed at how smoothly they work, “ says company founder Rodger Cloud. “The U1 also provides a perfect solution for both side address as well as many end address mics, especially those with medium to larger size body styles.”

The U1 is available for shipping immediately.

I'd love to see a picture of this mount. Will it fit RCA 44 or 77?

77 without the yoke, yes. 44, no - just a bit too big. It will fit a 74B, BK11...U47, U87.....

The Cloud one is bigger.

RYCOTE USM & USM-L 55x55mm / 2.16 x 2.16
RYCOTE VB 55-68mm / 2.16 x 2.67 inches
CLOUD - 70mm-76mm / 2.75 x 3.00 inches

A few mics that will fit in the CLOUD but not the RYCOTE :

RCA Varacoustic, 77, 74b, Neumann U47 and U47 clones, and of course the Cloud ribbons.

Does anyone know if these actually exist for purchase? Almost none of the dealers linked on the cloud site have the U1 listed and if they do it leads to a 404 or item not found page... the Cloud facebook and twitter haven't had any company posts of any kind since 10/31/12 and their last website entry thing was last November!

I found a release for them that said Wave Distro handled them but they don't seem to have Cloud listed on their site anymore.

Curious... seems like an awesome product.
