Abstract

Apparatus for and associated methods of controlling movement of a microphone that may be held in some manner by a microphone support boom. More specifically, the invention focuses upon novel techniques for isolating yaw of a microphone support boom from the microphone stand that may provide a majority of the height required for a desired microphone spatial positioning. The invention also focuses on apparatus that may be used achieve preferential isolation of microphone support boom yaw with respect to motion in any other microphone support boom degree of freedom. A specific type of apparatus that may be used to achieve this preferential isolation the double conical clutch - is also an aspect of the inventive technology.
