Abstract: The present invention relates generally to microphone mounts and more particularly to an isolation mount for a microphone having an address axis. The isolation mount may include a base configured to attach to an object, a mounting assembly adapted to securely receive the microphone, and a suspension element extending between the base and the mounting assembly. The suspension element may include a first end affixed to the base, a second end affixed to the mounting assembly and a rolling spring extending therebetween, wherein the rolling spring is arranged to form an arc having an opening substantially aligned to the address axis of the microphone. Advantageously, the isolation mount may be configured to have a lowered resonant frequency, to provide a high level of compliance in at least one direction, and to provide a greater degree of energy absorption.
