It’s been more than 10 years, I finally got inspired to sing again and tried to put up my microphone and record. But the bands of this microphone shock mount were torn. I tried to replace them with new bands, but I couldn’t figure out how to wind it! I was disappointed and I thought I had to replace the whole thing. Then I found this tutorial video!!! You saved my passion for music!! Thank you so much!!!!💖🙏

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou. I sat and looked at the various components after cleaning the mount and gave up trying to put it back together properly with it some years ago!!! Great!

This video has been a real life saver. I now have my H85 fully set up again with out dozens of elastic band trying to hold everything in place. Great tutorial1

This is the 6th video I have watched trying to re-strap my shock-mount, I was going to give up and buy a new one however... I understood your explanation and now have my mount strapped. thanks!

Thank you! Always kind of hard to see black on black so your calm narration of what you were doing was super helpful. We're back in business! Good job.

David Alkema... I love you... 20 years working in sound and I never knew how to do this! Now I do thank you!

This is a brilliant tutorial - just brilliant! Even though my cradle was damaged, I still managed to get it all back together. Much appreciated.

Paul Palmer why thank you!

Thank you so much. I have spent hours over the years trying to get this right and you have shown me how to nail it in 5 minutes. Awesome tutorial.

Near as I can tell David, you are the only human being on planet Earth (except for retired AKG employees) with this knowledge. :>) Seriously, I think this is the only place to see this demonstrated, and thank you so much for showing us the way! B&H photo had a replacement band for $11.00, yes, one band! But, my H-100 is back in business!

You sir are a legend! No way I would have figured this out on my own :)

The absolute best tutorial on winding the H100. Thank you.

thank you for this clear guidance, helped with my AKG H85 bands replacement

ThisVideo is the BOMB......I just fixed my mount and saved me 120 bucks THANK U Sir....

Just fixed mine too! Thankyou so much... I couldn't work it out by myself.

Excellent! Thank you! I can't believe how expensive these are to replace (and also surprised there aren't cheap alternatives, without annoying string, nubs and ridges!)

Stellar instruction. Much appreciated

Great video, thanks! My brother has replaced the rubbers, now my H100 is perfect! 😍

god damn. thank you. can't believe this tutorial exists, and really appreciate it.

Absolutely brilliant! Thank you!

Fantastic! Solved my problem on my H-100. 5 thumbs up!

Thank you very much David. Saved my life twice already

Thank you so much!! You helped me a lot, I couldn't figure how to do!

You saved my life! Thanks!

Thank you very much! If the straps are already too old and stretched, you can make knots in the loops after the straps have been hooked. This makes the band firmer.

Thanks a lot - I would not have a set shock mount without this video !

Thanks-Great job-now it seems so simple. But before it seemed insane

Thank you very much for this video - it's been a great help!

Thanks a bunch! I had a little trouble at the beginning as I couldn't see what you were doing. It was easier for me to watch you do the top of the mount first and then do the bottom...either way again Thanks!

whooo hoo! I needed this video for years, glad I finally found it. Great job! Thank you!!!!!

You’re a life saver brother !

Thank you! This was very helpful.

Thank you! This was driving me nuts.

Thank you, this saved me a lot of frustration.

Lifesaver... thank you!

You are my HERO and I love you. Thank you so so much!

Thanks ! You saved my day !

Thank you! from Japan

thank you! no way this English major would have deciphered that on his own!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!!! PRICELESS!!!!! I think this may be the one and only video on the internet that teaches us how to do this. Again--THANK YOU!

So helpful, thanks so much !!!

Thanks a lot for the video!

You are a hero!! Thanks!

Nice one, thanks!

Thank you so much dude

Thanks for that! I found that my bands were quite stretched so I gave them an extra wrap over the outer ring hooks......problem solved! :-)

Thank you so much!

Also, you can add black electrical tape over the up and down connections on the large piece once everything is in place. Makes harder for things to come undone, yet you can still fix if needed. 🧠

thank you very much!

Thank you so much. 🙂

OMG! Thank you!

Thanks man.

Brilliant.

Thanks you!

Thank you !!!

Brilliant thanks. Now where can I get the replacement bands? They seem to cost a fortune for what they are.

Well done...I still have to watch this every time mine comes loose...I have solved this by securing the string with a piece of duct tape on the ridges...

where did you buy the elasticbands? I can't find it in my country :/

Thank You!!!!!!

does anyone have a H85.. I got is used but only has one long band.. is that normal? thanks

Thanks man, by the way it would be nice to update the video... cheers

Thank you Sir.... Feel Soooo "STUPID" !!! Great video!!!!! I have the exact same cradle, what are the chances? 64 recordings later my AKG was leaning like the freaken "Tower of Pisa"!!!! Decided to take the time and string it properly cause I watched an interview with Bruce Swedien last night and he was super anal about that stuff. Thanx Again!

wow. you should see mine. LOLOLOL

Thank you, that is really helpful!

Thanks!
