Rycote has advanced the patented Lyre mount and redesigned them specifically for the Nano Shield kits. While the basic shape might look similar, the material, thickness, center of gravity, and mechanical properties have been engineered to provide a more compliant handling response in the direction the microphone is pointing, whilst giving more stability in other directions to prevent mics from bottoming-out or moving side-to-side. Adjustment and removal is easy and can be performed on-the-go, with no tools required.

This Lyre pair supports the following microphones and Nano Shield kits:

Audio-Technica AT4073 - NS4-DB
Neumann KMR81i - NS4-DB
Rode NTG4 - NS4-DB
Rode NTG2 - NS5-DC
Rode NTG3 - NS4-DB

Sanken CS-3e - NS5-DC
Sennheiser MKH 8060 - NS3-CB
Sennheiser MKH 416 - NS4-DB
Sony ECM 670 - NS4-DB

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does it comes with screws?

A: Per Rycote, yes, screws are included: https://mymic.rycote.com/products/windshield-solutions/cyclone-windshield-kit/cyclone-pair-of-universal-lyre-72-shore/

Q: 2. The handle bottom is not threaded and so It's unclear how to mount this on to a boom pole??

A: There is a thread on the bottom of the shock mount that will mate with any standard bom pole threading.

Q: 3. Does this come with the fabric to cover the correct size or is that a separate purchase?

A: There is a sock covering included with the Rycote 010650 Single Pod Basket Half for Nano Shield Kit (Size A).

Q: 4. Will these work for the RDE videomicro. I see the diameter matches but can it be put on the cold shoe part?

A: Hi Jason: thanks for your question! The technology behind the Lyres originates with Rycote; however, we have licensed Rde to manufacture their own version, and so the Lyre that comes with and fits the VideoMicro and similar/other products is designed and manufactured entirely by them. Rycote's official Lyres are not incorporated: any versions you see on Rde products are made by them using their own materials and production methods under licence. Please get in touch with Rde to resolve the issue here:a href= http://en.rode.com/contact target= _blank http://en.rode.com/contact./a

Q: 5. Will this fit with a Sony PMW F3 camera?

A: I can't speak specifically to the PMW F3. What I can say is that this MHR mount is highly versatile. It has holes in multiple directions as well as slots that allow for hole spacing. If you have a factory mount that has two screws holding it I would say it will most likely work. I had to disassemble and flip some parts. But it worked on my Sony HXR-NX3.

Q: 6. Hi it will fit in an old WS1 Windshield ?

A: The above Lyre mounts are not designed for the WS1. Based on Rycote's website, the WS1 kit comes with the small suspension which would use these Lyre mounts BH #RYMLU2192562.

Q: 7. Can i use with Rode Blimp??

A: These will work with a Rode Blimp as it is suitable for 19-25 mm diameter microphones.

Q: 8. Will this mount to a Canon XA40?

A: Yes it will.

Q: 9. Will this work with the new Sony Z200? The mount seems to be different from previous Sony camcorders.

A: The Rycote Softie Lyre Mount with MHR is only compatible with Sony NXCAM, DSR, HVR, PMW, and HDR-series cameras.

Q: 10. hello I'm lookin for Rycote Lyre for an old system which are screwed from the front and rear (not top to bottom) ? thanks you for your answerBruno

A: Rode does carry parts for their older mics. Hopefully they can help to get you the correct Rycote Lyre shock mount for your mic. You can reach their customer service department by phone at 562-364-7400. Their US offices are based in California.

[Black / Blue] I purchased these lyres to upgrade my early 2000's Rycote WS4 kit, which used the older O-ring suspension system. Easy to install (and true to the description - if not the product photo - they come with an adapter/standoff and screws for older systems), they support my Sennheiser 416 beautifully, and with no issues regarding noise. All in all, an inexpensive way to update with no hit to performance. 5

[Black / Blue] I just purchased two of these for my cameras (Sony PMW-EX1 and Sony FS-7). I've had both of these cameras for years and have struggled with less than perfection from the factory mounts. I am totally pleased with the build quality AND the flexibility of use for new these mounts. I've only had them for a couple of weeks, but here's what I like so far: -they are durable as heck -they are adjustable on two planes so that I can maneuver the mic position from high (above the lens) to low and outside (away from the hand grip. -easily adjustable (with no need to remove) for dropping the camera into tight bags -extraneous sound reduction- properly tight and flexible fit so there is no clanking or other noises to distract from the sound in front of my microphones. I use these easily with my Sennheiser ME66 and Rode NG2 shotguns. 5

[Black / Blue] I use a Sanken stereo shotgun mic (CMS-10). This mount replaces the original Panasonic microphone mount - which cannot be used - as the Sanken can be seen at 24mm setting. Using this mount pushes the Sanken further away from the body - and now the mic now no longer appears in the video. 5

[Polymer] This Rycote suspension mount is easily the best one on the market. I was using the good old Azden shock mount SMH-1 since a couple year, and while it works pretty well, it's not as good as this one. It really absorbs all the vibration and unwanted noise from handling the mics. It accepts various sizes of mics and doesn't requires bands or o'rings to work. It's really, a very good system and I highly recommend it! 5

[Black / Blue] Seems to do a very good job in initial tests 5

Oh That Graham	07/07/2024
[Black / Blue] These work so much better than the traditional cross suspension I was using. 5

Jeffrey	26/06/2024
[Polymer] These are fantastic for suspending a microphone, but realize that they don't come with a mounting piece, just a small screw, so you'll need one of those too. 5

[Polymer] It works better than the accessory mount that comes with the XF305. It is in two pieces -- the attachment to the camera, and a shotgun shock mount. The mounting bracket attaches directly to the camera in the same place that the Canon accessory mount does, but it is a smaller scale and so can be kept on the camera permanently without danger of loss or damage. The shotgun shock mount attaches to it. It's a very good design. 5

[0.05 lb] I own both a Rycote Windshield Kit 4 and Kit 2. The only improvement I would recommend making is to order an optional stiffer Rycote Grey 82 Lyre Upgrade Set--Part #042216--and install one Grey Lyre on the front side of the suspension mount while using a Black 72 Lyre on the back of the suspension mount (or replace both black lyres with grey lyres if you see fit). The grey and black lyre combination works exceptionally well with the Sennheiser MKH-50 in reducing some of the potential handling noise prone to all MKH-50s. It also works great with my Rycote Windshield 4 Kit housing a Schoeps cmit5u. I know everything boils down to personal preference, but for me, running a Grey 82 lyre in the front and a Black 72 lyre in the rear of the suspension mount is a winning combination for both isolation and feel. 5

[Black / Blue] I change out every mic mount I own with the Rycote Lyre system and never have any problems with vibration noise. 5
