U87 (Revision A) in BM800 microphone donor body

Nice idea! And are there any considerations regarding stiffness? You're essentially creating a dampened resonant mass-spring combination. Does it make sense to aim for a certain resonant frequency? Or should one just take the softest available?

FWIW, I use those rubber fan vibration isolators to mount an electret capsule holder on in a end-addressed mic. I've yet to test it in real life use, though. Maybe they are too floppy, I don't know. Mechanics are not my "core competence".

Just get any rc hobby servo grommets

Hi @jp8

Nice idea!

That's not my idea! It has been shared a build on this thread with it. I actually thought this was a standard that's why I was asking.

And are there any considerations regarding stiffness? You're essentially creating a dampened resonant mass-spring combination. Does it make sense to aim for a certain resonant frequency? Or should one just take the softest available?

For me I see as a attenuator of any sort of movement dampening to the capsule, which inherently will help I guess. About any mechanics on it, we are on the same boat...somebody might know better to answer than me, I'm just following directions
