MKH 815/816 Rycote Lyre Schock Mounts

Hi all, 

Rycote USA does not have any more 19mm clips for the Rycote Modular suspension for use with the MKH 815/816. Their replacement is the Rycote Lyre Upgrade Kit 042223. Using only two lyre mounts seems to not really be stable enough for the MKH 815/816. Does anyone have experience with whether using 3-4 lyre suspensions will noticeably increase the amount of vibration transmitted to the mic?

Thanks,

Richard

I cannot comment on your specific question, but I can say that finding the traditional suspensions with the rubber bands is not difficult and can easily be interchanged with modern zeppelins. Rummaging through consignments ot even eBay would prove fruitful in this endeavor.

I use 3 lyres sometimes for heavier mics in my s-series/supershield if things get bumpy. Otherwise I think these work on old style rycotes:
