Upgrade your existing suspension with the pair of Rycote 042210 Lyre 72 with Modular Adapter & Screws and benefit from second-to-none isolation from handling noise and vibrations. The 72 shore hardness is for small-diaphragm and short shotgun microphones 0.74 to 0.98" (19 to 25mm) in diameter, mounted on small and medium modular suspensions or Windshield Kits 1 to 5.
Each Lyre is extremely sturdy and virtually unbreakable because there are no elastic components, which tend to sag or break. They feature a soft-grip internal surface on the mic clip that helps prevent the mic from twisting or slipping and stops the clip from scratching the mic's powder-coated surface. Included are two Lyres, a modular bar adapter, and screws.
