TVPostSound Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 I bought a https://mymic.rycote.com/products/shock-mounts-suspension/invision-broadcast-film/invision-softie-lyre-mount-with-pistol-grip/ When the mic moves, or should I say when the mic moves with the lyre, up and down, I hear a creak, its worse with my AT BP4029 stereo mic. Ive traced the noise to the point the mount is fitted into the Lyres, front and rear, the triangular looking interference fit. Anyone else have this issue? Ive written Rycote twice in as many weeks, with no response. I thought Rycote would be better than Rode, but I went back to my Rode pistol grip with a rubber donut. No creaks and way less handling noise with MS mics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osa Posted July 3, 2022 Report Share Posted July 3, 2022 Dangit i am sad to hear you are having trouble with a response - i had issues once and posted here about mine breaking and someone dm’ed me and sent replacement lyres free of charge. I will try to track down their contact info. looking at that particular suspension i wonder if you might benefit better from 2x independent lyres of heavy duty variety vs that particular joined together suspension?

TVPostSound Posted July 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2022 Since it creaked, I figured the mount was an interference fit into the 2 lyres. I popped it off, it was an interference fit with a raised boss to keep from sliding off. Thinking the noise was from release agent on the plastic, I cleaned the surfaces, and sprayed with dry teflon. Reassembled, fixed for now!! See the dark triangular area on the mount within the light colored lyre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanieldH Posted July 4, 2022 Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 Thank you for your experiences. It is always good to know what to keep an ear on. I've just bought a used unit and appreciate it very much. I've worked with a factory new Invision HG hosting an MKH50 and it worked fine.
