Ron Lacheur Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 I'm curious to see what these look like. There's not alot of information about these online. Does anyone use these with their microphones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason porter Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 This is the only pic of a Panamic suspension that I could find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisnewton Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 I've used a Panamic suspension for about 5 years. i like it very much. It's well built, works well at isolating low frequency rumble and has a variety of elastic o-ring type supensions for different weights of mics. i use mine for a Neumann KM-150 or Oktava. It fits into a Rycote zeppelin. Chris Newton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Lacheur Posted May 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 So the mounts are adjustable? Say if I get a CUT 1 filter for the 641, it will expand to accommodate the longer mic? Is the price comparible to Rycote's suspension systems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisnewton Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Hi Ron, The mounts are adjustable to length. The two suspensions can slide back and forth on the rail. There are nylon set screws which tighten the suspension yokes into place. I've stripped a couple of these so you have to be careful. Spare set screws were provided when I bought the unit along with spare o-rings. I bought it from Audio Services Corporation in Toronto. I forget the price, but I think it was about the same as a Rycote, but I could be wrong. Parts are not totally interchangeable with Rycotes, at least mine isn't, but the assembly fits into my Rycote Zeppelins perfectly.
