Product Description
The Sling-Shock is a revolutionary departure from traditional shock mount designs. We’ve done away with unreliable rubberized parts and elastic cords, producing a durable shock mount that provides exceptional isolation from vibration, rumble and resonances. The Royer Labs Sling-Shock RSM-SS251 featrues a two-inch (50mm) diameter chamber that accommodates a number of non-Royer microphones, including ELAM 251s, U-67s, U-87s and other similarly sized microphones.
Royer's proprietary system of non-resonant nylon cable and damped steel springs acts to isolate the microphone from vibrations induced from the microphone stand. These vibrations appear as rumble and/or low-grade noise across the bandwidth and are greatly reduced by use of the Sling-Shock.
Sling-Shocks also eliminate the self-resonance that traditional shock mounts can generate on high SPL applications like close-miked electric guitar. Shock mount self-resonance creates harmonic interferences at various frequencies – Sling-Shocks eliminate the issue. The Sling-Shock’s superior vibration-reduction capabilities and lack of self-resonance allow engineers to capture performances free of vibration-related interference across the bandwidth.
A cable clip is included on each Sling-Shock. Loop a length of cable under the microphone, then secure the cable to the mic clip to minimize cable-related vibrations.
