I just purchased a Heil Goldline mic and was wondering if anyone is
using a boom type mic stand with this mic. I know little about what are
the good mic stands. I see some stands have a *shock* feature to reduce
vibration during movement. Is this that important? Any advice would be
appreciated.

Just got a Goldline mic myself. It was part of a package deal that included
the boom stand, shock mount and foot switch. Really a very nice set up. I
have always wanted this combo and am not sorry that I ordered it. The boom
sure makes it easy to get the mic where you want it, between radios and
computers. The shock mount I guess would not be necessary but makes it very
easy to mount the mic to the boom, besides it looks cool. The foot switch I
think is just about a must, vox works okay but the switch is very well made
and works really well. Just my 2 cents worth.

heh heh... Heil Sound has just what you're looking for. www.heilsound.com

A shock-mounted mic is important if you don't want the guy at the other end
to hear:

you writing in the log,
you push the mic out of the way,
people walking across the floor,
or you sliding the mouse around.

All that and more gets transmitted up the boom to the mic.
