Handheld microphone with a shockmount system
 A handheld microphone includes a housing, a pick-up device, and a shockmount member. The housing includes a hollow handle member, a coupling member fastened to the hollow handle member, and a perforated cap fastened to the coupling member. One end of the coupling member is formed with a recess with a base wall that has an opening. The pick-up device has a pick-up head extending into the cap, a tubular end portion extending into the coupling member, and an axial shank extending through the opening and fastened to the base wall. The shockmount member is mounted between the pick-up head and the tubular end portion, and has a rigid inner ring portion which is disposed between the pick-up head and the tubular end portion and which confines an axial hole for passage of the shank therethrough, a resilient inner ring portion which substantially encloses the rigid inner ring portion, a rigid outer ring portion which is disposed around the rigid inner ring portion, a resilient outer ring portion which is secured to an inner side of the rigid outer ring portion, and a resilient connector which interconnects the resilient inner and outer ring portions. The rigid outer ring portion is fastened to the coupling member.
