You work too hard to get great recordings to trust your sound to anything but the RODE SMR shockmount. The SMR employs Rycotes double-Lyre suspension system to absorb and diffuse the vibrations that come from issues such as bumping into the mic stand in the vocal booth, thumps on the table when youre podcasting, or floor vibrations from people stomping around in the apartment next door. And with a clamping system that has a larger surface area, you wont have to over-tighten the locking thread and end the life of your shockmount too soon. RODEs SMR shockmount also comes with a high-quality removable metal pop filter and a base nut, making your new microphone setup complete.
