Audio-Technica AT8646QM Quick-Mount Shock-Mount Plate

The AT8646QM is a quick-mount shock-isolation plate built around an integral XLRF connector, letting a microphone snap in and out of a fixed installation point without unscrewing a clip or re-running cable. That matters most in a permanent install - a broadcast studio, a house of worship, a lecture hall - where a mic needs to come out for service or a swap without touching the wiring.

The plate itself provides the shock isolation, so the mounted microphone is protected from stand and structure-borne vibration the same way a conventional shock mount would provide it, just with the added convenience of a quick-disconnect XLR interface.
