The standard for Lyres

Rycote deserves their good reputation for quality shock mounts, and these work well at minimizing vibration. I'm using these with Schoeps CMC1 microphones (Schoeps specifies these INV-6 Soft lyres for use with the CMC1) and they're a good, if somewhat large match. The bodies only just fit between the two brackets (with room to switch capsules without removing the bodies, if needed), and I wish there was a way to make a smaller lyre system to match the appealingly diminutive size of the microphone. Be aware that these are indeed SOFT. With a standard XLR connector and cable, I find that the lyres bend and mics sag awkwardly under the weight. I have since switched to low-profile connectors and miniature cable (as pictured), which are a better match.

See any errors on this page?

Will this work for the DPA 4018c? Seems like it ...

Will this work for the DPA 4018c? Seems like it would due to the size of comparable mics.
