Rode PSM1 Suspension Shock Mount for Podcaster & Procaster Broadcast Mics

Rode PSM1: Keep Rumble and Handling Noise Out of Your Broadcast

The Rode PSM1 is a studio-grade suspension shock mount for end-address broadcast microphones, engineered specifically for the Rode Podcaster and Procaster. It suspends the microphone inside an elastic web so that vibration traveling up the stand, across the desk, or through the boom arm is absorbed before it ever reaches the capsule. For anyone who has ruined a clean take with a bumped table or a heavy footstep, the PSM1 is the small piece of hardware that finally makes those problems disappear.

How a Suspension Shock Mount Actually Works

A microphone is a vibration sensor, and it cannot tell the difference between the sound waves you want and the mechanical shocks you do not. Bolt a mic rigidly to a stand and every knock, keystroke, and rumble conducts straight through the metal into the capsule as low-frequency noise. A suspension shock mount breaks that path: the PSM1 holds the microphone in a spider of elastic bands so the mic is mechanically decoupled from the stand. Those bands act as a mechanical low-pass filter, flexing to absorb impact energy and stopping it before it becomes an audible thud or rumble on your recording. The result is a cleaner low end and fewer ruined takes, with nothing to switch on and nothing to process later.

Made for the Podcaster and Procaster

The PSM1 is not a generic clamp. It is sized and tensioned for Rode's end-address broadcast dynamic microphones, the Podcaster and the Procaster, so the mic seats securely without sagging or slipping. A tilt-and-rotation joint with a locking clutch knob lets you set the exact angle you want and lock it down, which matters for broadcast and podcasting where the mic sits close to the mouth and needs to stay put through a long session. Because it threads onto both 3/8-inch and 5/8-inch fittings, it drops straight onto a Rode PSA1 boom arm, a DS1 desk stand, or any standard studio stand you already have.

Who the PSM1 Is For

This is the mount for the podcaster, broadcaster, streamer, or voiceover artist running a Podcaster or Procaster who wants their recordings free of the desk bumps and floor rumble that plague desktop setups. The all-metal construction is built to survive daily studio use, and the quiet, isolated repositioning means you can move the mic on air without the movement itself ending up in the file. If your microphone deserves a clean signal path, the PSM1 is where that path begins.
