Abstract: A shock and vibration isolating mount for a microphone and the assembly of such a mount with a microphone in which the mount has a lower frame mounted on the post of a stand by a swivel. The lower frame is semicylindrical, and it is hinged at one edge to an upper frame also semicylindrical. The upper and lower frames each carry a pair of closed bands of elastomer material under tension, one pair of bands extending transversely around the lower frame in spaced relation and the other pair of bands extending transversely around the upper frame in spaced relation. The microphone is disposed between the upper and lower frames and between the first pair of bands and the second pair of bands, and the frames are provided with a latch mechanism at their edges opposite the hinge to prevent the frames from opening from a closed position to an open position except when the microphone is to be removed from the mount.
