RØDE SM2 Elastic Suspension Shock Mount
The RØDE SM2 is a professional-grade elastic suspension shock mount designed to isolate large-diaphragm condenser and shotgun microphones from handling noise, stand vibration, and structural vibrations. It is widely used in studio recording, broadcast, and film production environments where clean, isolated audio capture is essential.
By decoupling the microphone from its mounting stand, the SM2 significantly reduces unwanted low-frequency rumble and mechanical noise transmitted through floors, boom arms, or microphone stands.
Advanced Elastic Suspension System
The SM2 uses a high-tension elastic suspension system that holds the microphone securely while allowing controlled movement to absorb vibrations. This design minimizes the transfer of physical shocks and movement noise into the microphone capsule.
It is particularly effective in studio environments where subtle vibrations from desk movement, floor contact, or boom handling can affect recording quality.
Compatible Microphones
The SM2 is designed for use with a wide range of RØDE large-diaphragm and broadcast microphones, including select studio condensers and broadcast models that require stable shock isolation.
It is commonly paired with microphones used in vocal recording, voice-over work, and controlled studio environments.
Adjustable Mounting Position
The SM2 features adjustable positioning that allows the microphone to be angled precisely for optimal recording placement. This flexibility supports both upright stand mounting and boom arm setups.
Its multi-angle adjustment system helps engineers position microphones accurately for vocal or instrument capture without compromising isolation performance.
Dual Thread Mounting Compatibility
The shock mount includes both 3/8-inch and 5/8-inch thread adapters, making it compatible with most professional microphone stands and boom arms. This ensures integration with standard studio and broadcast equipment.
Durable Studio Construction
Built with robust metal components and high-quality elastic bands, the SM2 is designed for long-term use in demanding studio and production environments. It provides consistent performance under regular setup and teardown conditions.
