The VSSM is a fantastically built shockmount that utilises aerospace grade technology to ensure that no matter what you throw at it, your microphone will stay safe and sound.
The VSSM comes as a standard accessory for the Vanguard V1 Multi-Capsule Pencil Condenser Kit. However, it is a superior shockmount for a wide variety of condenser, ribbon, shotgun, and dynamic microphones from several brands, with a diameter of up 30mm.
While Vanguard Audio Labs chief engineer was the first to popularize the “tube” style shockmount for pencil condensers, it was decided that they could build a better version and really give you the best possible isolation mount for your microphones.
First, they widened the inner diameter to 37.5mm, which will safely support microphones with up to a 30mm diameter. This means all of your pencil condensers, as well as several popular ribbon microphones and medium-diaphragm condensers, will be safely and comfortably supported by the VSSM.
Then a 240º window was added to the VSSM body. This allows you to easily access a pad, rolloff, or pattern switch on the microphone without affecting placement.
Vanguard also wanted to get rid of the aggravating experiences with those flimsy elastic bands that come standard with most shockmounts. They get stretched out and saggy, and sometimes snap without warning – not something you want to happen when your mic is in there!
Instead, aerospace-grade rubberized suspension rings were installed that won’t break, sag, crack, or stretch over time. A precise durometer for the suspension rings was picked that will firmly support even the heaviest microphones, while still maintaining superb decoupling properties to prevent unwanted rumble and vibration.
The threaded part of the knob, as well as the dual-threading (American 5/8″-24tpi and European 3/8″-16tpi) in the pivot, are machined from brass.
