Installing the SMS3 Shockmount

The MK300 kit comes with a SMS3 shockmount, which you can use

to greatly reduce any noise transmitted through the mic stand. The

shockmounts are especially 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 as solid as it should be.
