Multiple Microphones

To accelerate switching of microphones, remove the microphone and the suspenders as a unit from the shock mount. Obtain extra pairs of suspenders and leave them on the microphones. To change microphones, carefully peel the suspenders away from the shock mount to free the microphone. Slide the new microphone into place and carefully stretch the suspenders over the retainers.
