Rycote Softie Lyre Mount with MHR for 19-25mm Diameter Shotgun Microphones and Up to 300mm Length

Just when you thought your audio recording couldn't get any better, the Softie Lyre Mount with MHR for 19-25mm Diameter Shotgun Microphones and Up to 300mm Length steps in to revolutionize your experience. Unlike standard built-in or add-on microphone holders that are prone to camera and handling noise, this innovative mount minimizes vibrations from connected video and microphone cables, ensuring crystal clear audio capture.

Designed to replace existing camera mounts or clamps, the Softie Lyre Mount comes equipped with three sets of metric screws (20mm-long M2.5, M3, and M4 types). This makes it universally compatible with a wide range of popular camcorders, including models from the Panasonic DVX-series, Sony NXCAM, DSR, HVR, PMW, HDR-series, and Canon X-series.

The heart of this mount lies in its mic clip, which utilizes Rycote's patented Lyre technology. This technology allows the mount to accommodate shotgun or rifle mics ranging from 19 to 25mm in diameter and up to 300mm in length. This includes the slab-sided Sennheiser MKH range.

Constructed from hard-wearing, heat-resistant thermoplastic, the W-shaped Lyre clips are virtually indestructible. Unlike traditional elastic suspension systems, these clips are designed to withstand the test of time. In the Softie Lyre Mount, they work tirelessly to reduce the effects of unwanted vibrations that can compromise audio quality.

On a camcorder, the Softie Lyre Mount excels at reducing or eliminating lens motor and cable-borne noise. Its design allows for free rotation and tilting on any axis, and it can be conveniently stored in bags with a mic still attached. If needed, the mount can be quickly removed, leaving the MHR in place on the camcorder. This is more than just a mount; it's a game-changer in audio recording technology.
