Abstract: A microphone shock mount includes an inner housing, an outer housing extending around the inner housing and top and bottom dampeners which extend between the inner and outer housings. An annular groove is formed in an outer surface of the inner housing adjacent a top thereof and a stepped shoulder is formed in the outer surface of the inner housing adjacent a bottom thereof. A pair of stepped shoulders are formed in an inner surface of the outer housing adjacent a top and bottom thereof. The top and bottom dampeners are ring-shaped with a generally U-shaped cross-section. An annular rib extends inwardly from an inner portion of the top dampener and engages the groove of the inner housing. An outer portion of the top dampener engages the top stepped shoulder of the outer housing. The bottom coupling engages the bottom stepped shoulders of the inner and outer housings.
