Behold, for I give unto you, the Shure bullet mic shock mount.  With this, I am now an “Audio Inventor.”  George Massenburg, you may have invented the parametric EQ, Les Paul, you may have invented multitrack recording, and Muddy Waters, you may have invented electricity, but now all of you must step aside and witness, in all of its glory, the bullet mic shock mount.

In 25 years, when the students of Full Sail 9000x, on the planet Mars 2 are debating which invention saved audio, I suspect that the bullet mic shock mount will be listed somewhere between balanced audio, and analog tape bias.  Musicians will sob with vim and vigor when they ask themselves, “why couldn’t this have been around for the Beatles?”
