Microphone support system

A method of manufacturing a microphone support system that substantially isolates a microphone from extraneous vibrations, comprising:

• providing a base assembly configured to dampen at least some of said extraneous vibrations communicated to said support system, said base assembly, including:
• a vibration-resistant sub-base having an upper surface and an undersurface,
• vibration-isolating feet coupled to said undersurface, and
• vibration-absorbing receptacles coupled to said upper surface;
• coupling a microphone support rod to said base assembly and configuring said microphone support rod to support a microphone;
• coupling a microphone sheath to said microphone support rod and substantially surrounding said microphone, said microphone sheath configured to substantially isolate said microphone from at least some of said extraneous vibrations;
• coupling a microphone cable to said microphone;
• and
• coupling a microphone cable sheath to and substantially surrounding said microphone cable, said microphone cable sheath configured to substantially isolate said microphone cable from at least some of said extraneous vibrations.

A microphone support system that substantially isolates a microphone from extraneous vibrations, comprising:

• a base assembly configured to dampen at least some of said extraneous vibrations communicated to said support system;
• a solid microphone support rod, having vibration-damping properties, coupleable to said base assembly and configured to support said microphone;
• a microphone sheath substantially surrounding said microphone and coupled to said solid microphone support rod, said microphone sheath configured to substantially isolate said microphone from at least some of said extraneous vibrations;
• a microphone cable coupleable to said microphone;
• and
• a microphone cable sheath substantially surrounding said microphone cable and configured to substantially isolate said microphone cable from at least some of said extraneous vibrations.
