The Rode SMR is engineered to deliver professional-grade support for large diaphragm condenser microphones, providing both advanced shock absorption and plosive protection. With its innovative double-Lyre suspension system, the SMR refines Rycote’s original Lyre design by incorporating an inner Lyre that functions as a tensioning mechanism, resulting in heightened stability and improved isolation from mechanical vibrations.
Advanced Plosive Protection
Equipped with a detachable all-metal pop filter, the SMR offers an integrated shield against plosives. This pop filter is both durable and washable, ensuring long-lasting performance that matches the reliability of the shock mount and microphone itself.
Secure and Durable Clamping System
The SMR features a clamping mechanism that makes use of a large surface area, which not only provides strong friction and secure weight support but also reduces the need for excessive tightening. By spreading the load over a larger area, the design minimizes wear and tear, prolonging the lifespan of the shock mount even with frequent adjustments.
Reinforced Polymer Frame
Constructed from engineering-grade reinforced polymer, the SMR’s frame achieves a balance of lightweight strength and vibration control. Its broad mounting rails help distribute vibration energy evenly, maximizing the efficiency of the double-Lyre suspension and enhancing overall microphone stability.
Universal Compatibility
A base nut is included with the SMR, ensuring compatibility with all suitable Rode microphones, making it a versatile choice for studios and professionals seeking both performance and durability.
