sinnlicht Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonG Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 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: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/292948-REG/K_Tek_K_SUS_K_SUS_Microphone_Suspenders_Pair.html/pageID/accessory (not trying push BH but i couldn't find the dedicated page on K-tek site) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Immoral Mr Teas Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 I was going to suggest the ktek suspenders myself for the 816 (they happily fit the full circle loops of the modular suspensions) and two would do the trick if you have the long '3' bar fitted.

sinnlicht Posted October 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 Excellent suggestions. Thanks again. I have the Rycote Lyres, and now know about the other options if this does not work well. RL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Reeves Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 Aloha, perhaps Ebay may help you. There is an isolation wedge mount being offered(two each} for $45.00 or best offer. They are designed for 19mm. diameter. Enjoy your day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Blankenship Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 The Suspenders are among my favorite suspension elements. Be sure to get genuine K-Tek Suspenders and not the B&H knockoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
