Royer Labs RSM-1 Shock Mount

The Royer Labs RSM-1 Shock Mount is specifically designed to support Royer R-121, R-122, SF-12 and SF-1 microphones. Specially formulated polymer mounts provide maximum isolation from shock and vibration while holding the microphone securely in place, preventing microphone "lean" even when the microphone is positioned horizontally. The RSM-1 also works well with any cylindrical microphone with a one-inch diameter barrel. The standard shock mount for all Royer Labs microphones has been the AT-84. However, with our longer microphones (R-122, SF-12 stereo) the AT-84 has a tendency to "lean" when the microphones are placed in a horizontal position (drum overhead use, violin, etc.). We have also found that over time the elastic bands used in the AT-84 can stretch, necessitating replacement of the shock. Discriminating clients have asked us for a new shock mount for years, and in some cases they have devised their own shocks. The RSM1 is an attractive shock mount that provides upgraded performance for all Royer mics. Isolation of the microphone from shock and vibration is excellent, microphone "lean" is non-existent, making mic positioning more reliable, and the microphone cannot be pulled out of the shock from the cable side, which helps prevent an accidental trip to the floor. The shock is slotted to accept the microphone in forward or rearward facing positions.
