InVision USM

Rycote’s InVision USM is a universal suspension for large-diaphragm recording microphones. The mount claims substantially more isolation from unwanted vibration than traditional elasticated ‘cat’s cradle’ mic suspensions.

The InVision Universal Studio Mount (or USM) has been designed to provide an alternative to elasticated suspensions. Based around the U-shaped Lyre suspension mount used in Rycote’s existing InVision suspension range for smaller-barrelled microphones, the InVision USM will fit any high-quality microphone from 18mm to 55mm in diameter, including large-diaphragm models and those with flat-sided and tapered barrels.

With no elastic or rubber parts, the USM suspension does not need rethreading, and because the Lyres are made of the composite material Hytrel, they are virtually unbreakable. In Rycote’s vibration testing, the Universal Studio Mount provided up to 12dB more isolation than elasticated mounts.

In addition to the InVision USM, Rycote has also launched the InVision TLM, a version of the new mount designed specifically for Neumann TLM-series mics.
