FAQs
Is the Rode RM2 a shock mount?
No, the Rode RM2 is a stand mount designed to securely attach your microphone to a stand. It does not include suspension bands or other features typically found in a shock mount for vibration isolation.
What RØDE microphones is the RM2 compatible with?
The RM2 is compatible with most RØDE large-diaphragm condenser microphones, including models like the K2, Classic II, NT1-A, NT2-A, NTK, NT2000, NT1000, Podcaster, and Broadcaster.
Does the RM2 come with a thread adapter?
Yes, the Rode RM2 includes a 3/8-inch to 5/8-inch thread adapter to ensure compatibility with a wide range of microphone stands.
How heavy is the Rode RM2?
The Rode RM2 is very lightweight, weighing only 59 grams, making it easy to handle and transport.
Can I use the RM2 with microphones from other brands?
While the RM2 is primarily designed for RØDE microphones, its standard thread mounting *might* allow it to fit other microphones with compatible threading. However, fit and stability are not guaranteed for non-RØDE models.
What are the dimensions of the Rode RM2?
The Rode RM2 measures 55 mm in height, 102 mm in width, and 45 mm in depth.
How do I clean the Rode RM2?
Clean the RM2 with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth, but avoid using any chemical cleaners or abrasive materials that could damage the finish or construction.
Troubleshooting
Microphone feels loose in the mount
Ensure the RM2 is screwed on tightly to the microphone base. Check if the microphone model is listed as compatible; some non-RØDE microphones may have slightly different thread sizes or dimensions.
Mount does not fit the microphone stand
Verify which thread size your microphone stand uses. The RM2 comes with a 3/8-inch to 5/8-inch adapter; try using the adapter or screwing it directly into the stand if the sizes do not match.
Difficulty screwing the mount onto the microphone
Check for any debris or damage on the microphone's thread or the RM2's internal thread. Ensure you are aligning the threads correctly before turning.
