Rode SMR Premium Shock Mount with Rycote Lyre Suspension for Microphone

After extensive research and development, the Rode SMR Premium Shock Mount emerges as a groundbreaking accessory for large diaphragm condenser microphones. This innovative product boasts a distinctive double-Lyre suspension system, taking the already superior vibration cancellation of Rycote's Lyre system to new heights. The SMR employs a smaller inner Lyre as a tensioning element, ensuring each Lyre remains in the neutral position, where it is most effective at neutralizing vibration.

The SMR's detachable all-metal pop filter is not only visually impressive but also highly efficient, offering an integrated solution for plosive protection. This pop filter is easily cleanable and designed to endure as long as the shock mount and microphone, making it a sustainable choice for audio professionals.

The clamping system of the SMR is ingeniously designed to utilize a larger surface area, enhancing friction and weight handling capabilities. This eliminates the need for excessive tightening of the locking thread, making it a user-friendly option. With the load evenly distributed over a larger surface area, the clamping system is virtually impervious to the wear and tear of repeated use.

The SMR's frame is crafted from engineering-grade reinforced polymer, a material typically reserved for high-load applications such as safety equipment, automotive components, and military artillery. This ensures the shock mount's durability and longevity. The vibration force is evenly dispersed around the outer frame via the broad mounting rails, further enhancing the effectiveness of the Lyre system.

The SMR also features efficient and thoughtful cable management, adding to its overall functionality. A base nut is also included, making it compatible with all Rode microphones. This premium shock mount with Rycote Lyre suspension is a testament to Rode's commitment to quality and innovation in the field of audio equipment.
