The Rycote Mono Extended Ballgag Suspension (M/S) is specifically designed for use with the Schoeps CCM range of microphones. Both microphones are suspended to the four-point hoop frame using the mic clips and four silicone bands.
Even though the mono suspension is capable of M/S miking techniques, it is sometimes suggested to use the stereo extended version, which offers a greater diameter and increased air space while using a windshield.
The optional Connbox will further reduce handling noise if necessary. Connboxes shorten cable lengths and further isolate the cable from the microphone element, contributing to an overall trouble-free recording.
