Rycote InVision USM-VB
The Rycote InVision USM-VB is a sturdy Universal shock-mount designed for mics between 55 and 68mm in diameter. InVision mounts features no elasticated parts to avoid sags or the need to rethread. This mount also offers up to twice the isolation from cable and stand-borne noise of traditional 'cat's cradle' elasticated microphone mounts and is Virtually indestructible.
Features
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 68 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.
