Chris Lange Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Are the lyre shockmounts in the Rycote Softie grip able to comfortably hold a mic with a plugon transmitter on the end? You can with the old 'rubber doughnut' style, but I'm wondering if the lyres might bend too far or bounce about with the weight of the transmitter. I know this setup isn't ideal, but it can be useful for ENG (to put a mic at a podium, etc), and attaching the plugon to the end of the handle doesn't work if it is being attached to a stand.

Jon Gilbert Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 You can get Lyres of different hardnesses, you'd probably need the harder formulation if you're using something like a 416 with a Softie and a plug on. Though on second thoughts, if it's going to be stationary, such as on a small stand on a podium, the standard lyres will be fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olle Sjostrom Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 The INV7-HG-MKIII can take it. It's made for mikes with the BBG or other heavy stuff on it. I use it with an mkh50 with a bbg and it works great IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't seem to find them The INV7-HG-MKIII can take it. It's made for mikes with the BBG or other heavy stuff on it. I use it with an mkh50 with a bbg and it works great IMHO. Thanks Ollie, definitely something to look at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasmus Wedin Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 And if it's really heavy, you can always use 3 or 4 lyres in many mounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
