Royer Labs Sling-Shock Microphone Shockmount

The Sling-Shock™ (Patent No. 8,571,250) is a revolutionary departure from traditional shockmount designs. We’ve done away with unreliable rubberized parts and elastic cords, producing a durable shockmount that provides exceptional isolation from vibration, rumble and resonances.

Our 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 shockmounts can generate on high SPL applications like close-miked electric guitar. Shockmount 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.

Sling Shock Features:

• Superior isolation from vibration, shock and rumble
• Lack of self-resonance on high SPL applications
• Felt-lined, scratch-free microphone chamber holds mic securely
• No rubberized parts to degrade or stretch
• Built in microphone cable clip minimizes cable-related vibration
• Flexible for easy microphone positioning
• Lifetime warranty

Sling-Shock RSM-SS1

The Sling-Shock RSM-SS1 is sized to fit Royer’s 1-inch diameter ribbon mics; R-121, R-122 MKll, R-122V and SF-12 ribbon microphones. The RSM-SS1 will work with any cylindrical microphone measuring approximately one inch in diameter (+/- 1/8 inch).

Sling-Shock RSM-SS24

The RSM-SS24 accommodates Royer’s SF-2, SF-24 and SF-24V microphones, and any cylindrical microphone measuring approximately 1 ½ inch in diameter (+/- 1/8 inch).

Sling-Shock RSM-SS251

The RSM-SS251’s two-inch (50mm) diameter chamber accommodates a number of non-Royer microphones, including ELAM 251s, U-67s, U-87s and other similarly sized microphones.
