I recently purchased a Blue Ember microphone and was disappointed with the availability of inexpensive shock mounts that fit correctly. The only shock mounts that I could find that would fit were the kind that threaded into the base. Those work just fine, but they are massive/bulky in comparison to the mic. All of the other universal shock mounts that clamp around the body don't work because they are either too big or to small. Additionally, the shape of the Ember (being oval) doesn't help the situation either. This adapter simply slides over the body of the Blue Ember, making the clamping area round and gives it an outer diameter of 46mm. This allows the mic to be clamped/mounted into any universal 43-48mm shock mount.
