InVision USM

Product Code: 044901

Universal microphone shock-mount suitable for microphones weighing up to 750 grammes & between 18mm and 55mm in diameter.

Main Benefits:

• A universal mic mount – fits any large-diaphragm recording microphone from 18 to 55 mm in diameter
• Offers up to twice the isolation from cable and stand-borne noise of traditional ‘cat’s cradle’ elasticated microphone mounts.
• Virtually indestructible
• No elasticated parts – never sags or needs rethreading

For several years, Rycote InVision mounts have been available for narrow-barrelled shotgun and stick microphones in broadcast and videography applications, but not until 2010, and the release of the striking Universal Studio Mount (USM) was there an InVision™ shock-mount capable of accommodating large-diaphragm recording microphones for use in recording studios.

Like the other InVision mounts, the USM makes use of Rycote’s patented vibration-resistant Lyre mount, but on this mount the W-shaped Lyres are placed around a central mounting ring with adjustable fasteners, allowing the USM to accommodate any microphone with a diameter of between 18 and 55 millimetres.

The Rycote USM updates the concept of the microphone suspension for the 21st century, completely omitting any elasticated parts and using modern materials to create a virtually indestructible shock-mount with a performance that far outstrips that of the humble ‘cat’s cradle’ suspension. In controlled tests at the Rycote factory, the USM provided up to twice the isolation of traditional microphone suspension systems.

InVision USM VB-L Studio Kit

Product Code: 045007

Comprises of 1 Universal Pop Filter & 1 USM VB-L

Main Benefits:

• Fits any large-diaphragm recording microphone with a diameter between 18 and 55mm
• Complete Pop Filter and Suspension System
• USM offers up to 12dB better isolation against unwanted vibrations
• Pop Filter provides up to 20dB pops and thumps attenuation, with no HF loss

The InVision Studio Kit is a complete suspension and pop filter system, which combines the Universal Studio Mount VB-L (USM) with a Universal Pop Filter to make a complete vocal microphone suspension and pop filter system that will accommodate virtually any microphone. The Pop Filter is designed to lock tightly on the USM’s outer support ring, where it can be left while mics are quickly and easily swapped in the USM.

Rycote’s Studio Kit is fast and easy to use, and has also proved harder-wearing, more vibration-resistant and better at protecting your mic from vocal pops and thumps without high-frequency loss, than any traditional elasticated microphone suspensions. If you record vocals, you owe it to yourself to try one. Go for the Universal solution, and let the Studio Kit rock your vox!

InVision Video 1/4″ Adaptor

Product Code: 042902

Suitable for cameras with a 1/4″ female thread

Main Benefits:

• Virtually indestructible
• Offers much improved isolation from camera noise compared to other on-camera microphone mounts
• No elasticated parts — never sags or needs rethreading

Part of the larger InVision range of noise-reducing microphone shock-mounts, Rycote’s InVision Video is a shock-mount and suspension system for high-quality external camcorder microphones between 19 and 25 mm in diameter, and up to 300 mm in length, and enables camcorder users and videographers to get the best possible sound for their productions using external camera-mounted microphones.

A lightweight, durable clamp holds the microphone in place, and is itself suspended in two of Rycote’s W-shaped Lyre mounts, which provide substantially better isolation from camera motor and drive noise and vibrations than traditional on-camera microphone mounts. The Lyres are attached to a mounting bar which may be slotted into the hot shoe mount on top of your camera or screwed into the quarter-inch thread available on some camcorders by means of separately available adaptors.
