Installing the SMS-1 Shockmount
The CV4 kit comes with a SMS-1 shockmount, which you can use
to greatly reduce any noise transmitted through the mic stand. The
shockmounts are especial useful in reducing the problems caused by a
boomy soundstage, for example when miking overhead cymbals, or even
in the studio with talent that likes to move a lot on a floor that may not
be a solid as it should be.
