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 new 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.
