Description

Essential Information About the Aim Audio ORBIT Shock Mount

  • Professional suspension without elastics featuring high-resistance nylon lyres for effective isolation from vibrations and handling noise
  • Ultra-smooth positioning thanks to the patented 190-degree angle system, adjustable with one hand, ideal for both studio and quick setups
  • Magnetic SENTRY pop filter included, reversible, aligned with the capsule and designed to reduce plosives without muffling high frequencies
  • Robust and durable design made from long-fiber reinforced nylon, with removable cable strain relief clip and Resorber magnetic ring to dampen resonances

ORBIT and SENTRY: A Modern Approach to Microphone Mounting at Aim Audio

Designed in Berlin after several years of research and development, the ORBIT embodies Aim Audio's commitment to rethinking the shock mount as a daily working tool rather than just an accessory. The philosophy is clear: to replace traditional mounts often reliant on elastics (which can slacken, age, and complicate maintenance) with a more stable, direct, and consistent solution over time. In this logic, the SENTRY pop filter is not a secondary addition: it integrates into the system via a precise magnetic attachment to offer a coherent, quick-to-install, and reliable setup.

Intended Uses and Studios

The ORBIT targets sound engineers, demanding home studio users, podcasters, and content creators who want to gain comfort in placement while securing the recording. Its semi-open design facilitates access to microphone controls and allows bringing the capsule closer to the source, a tangible advantage when chaining voice takes, dubbing, or changing positions on an instrument. Thanks to its wide and stable orientation, it performs well in vocal configurations (facing the capsule), on guitar amps, acoustic instruments, or as overheads when locking a precise angle without wasting time.

Key Features and Innovations Serving the Sound

Uncompromising Mechanical Isolation

The suspension uses high-resistance nylon lyres designed to prevent sagging and maximize isolation. The absence of elastics simplifies use, limits variations in tension over time, and provides an immediate sense of stability during positioning. To reduce unwanted noise caused by cable tension, a removable cable strain relief clip completes the mount and helps maintain a clean setup on the stand.

Semi-Open Design and Quick Placement

The open-front design is conceived for practical studio use: quick access to controls, visibility, and increased proximity between capsule and source. The microphone slides in and locks, speeding up changes between artists or setups. The highlight remains the patented 190-degree angle system: orientation is done single-handedly, securely, allowing a switch from vocal to instrument recording without reconfiguring the entire stand.

Plosive Control and High-Frequency Preservation

The SENTRY pop filter comes standard with the ORBIT. Its engraved stainless steel structure and hexagonal micro-openings aim to diffuse air in a controlled way to reduce plosives while preserving clarity and precision. The attachment via 4 precision neodymium magnets ensures precise alignment with the capsule, without cumbersome clamping systems or unnecessary stress. When a take requires a "naked" microphone, the Resorber magnetic ring helps neutralize residual resonances to maintain clean reproduction.

Materials, Durability, and Compatibility

Made from long-fiber reinforced nylon, the ORBIT offers an excellent stiffness-to-weight ratio and high durability in intensive environments. The integrated brass insert ensures easy installation on a standard stand, with a thread adapter included to fit common studio configurations. Compatibility is announced with Aim Audio microphones INSPIRE and ESSENCE for optimal integration into the brand's recording chain.
