A device for isolating a microphone from mechanical vibrations. A type of “shockmount.” The most common way to shock mount a microphone is with the stand mounted suspension basket, which utilizes elastic bands to isolate a microphone from vibrations that can be induced into the stand through the floor or by something bumping the stand itself. Most mid to high price microphones have specific suspension baskets designed for them, and are available as an accessory.
