The SMR is a professional-grade shock mount for large diaphragm condenser microphones from Røde. Its unique double lyre suspension effectively absorbs vibrations and mechanical rumble noises even before they reach the microphone. The inner lyre band is used to achieve the desired tension. With both lyre bands positioned neutrally, they can more effectively handle vibration isolation. The robust detachable pop filter of the SMR is made of metal, working not only highly effectively but also looking great. It effectively mitigates plosive sounds and can be easily cleaned.

The SMR's stand flange features a large surface area for better friction and higher load capacity, preventing overstraining of the clamping thread. By distributing the weight over a larger area, this stand flange is nearly indestructible even with daily use. The frame of the SMR is made from a reinforced polymer typically used for rescue equipment, automotive parts, and military artillery purposes. The vibration moment is evenly distributed across the entire frame thanks to wide mounting rails—the lyre suspension takes care of the rest. The cable management is also neatly and discreetly arranged. A base nut for all compatible Røde microphones is included in the package.
