REPLACING SHOCK MOUNT BANDS
The Stereo VideoMic Pro has been designed with an integrated
suspension shock mount, reducing the amount of handling noise that
is transmitted to the microphone while recording your audio.
This shock mount uses four elastomer suspension bands to hold
the Stereo VideoMic Pro in its shock mount cradle. These bands
have been created to be intentionally soft, again to minimise the
transmission of mechanical and handling noise through this material.
If the Stereo VideoMic Pro is shaken vigorously or knocked during
use, the microphone body may touch the sides of the shock mount
cradle. This should be avoided as it may add unwanted noise.
D uring handling or transport, the bands attaching the Stereo
VideoMic Pro to its shock mount cradle may become dislodged.
They can easily be put back into place by hand. Also, if the bands
should become damaged or worn over time, the old bands can
be fully removed and replacement bands fi tted. Please follow the
instructions below to readjust or replace the bands as necessary.
Start by attaching your shock mount bands to the microphone body.
The shock mount cradle will then slip easily up under the bands and
support the microphone. You may then attach the microphone to the
shock mount cradle by sliding the shock mount bands into place.
Consult the image to the right to determine which band to use on
the relevant side of the microphone. There are four bands in total,
two of each shape.
