Royer Labs SM-21 “AxeMount” – Dual Microphone Mount for R-121 and 57-Style Dynamic Microphones
The Royer Labs SM-21 “AxeMount” is a specialized dual microphone mount designed to simplify and enhance the classic R-121 and SM57-style dynamic microphone pairing—one of the most trusted setups for recording electric guitar cabinets. With the AxeMount, both mics can be securely and precisely positioned on a single stand, making mic alignment quick, repeatable, and phase-coherent every time.
Crafted from durable, lightweight aluminum, the SM-21 features two mic slots—one perfectly sized for the Royer R-121 ribbon microphone and the other for standard 57-type dynamic microphones (e.g., Shure SM57). Its rigid structure ensures stable positioning even at close proximity to loud amp sources, while its minimal footprint helps conserve stand space in busy recording environments.
Whether you’re capturing clean tones, high-gain distortion, or layered guitar textures, the AxeMount keeps your phase alignment locked in and your workflow efficient.
