MICROPHONE ISOLATION
TECH NOTES
The Rycote ‘lyre’ webs rely
primarily on their shape to give
dierent performance on each
axis. Typically, a 100g force will
barely move a microphone
1mm along the (up & down) Y
axis, whereas it will move about
four times that on the (left &
right) X axis. In the critical Z axis,
it will move something like 10
times as far.
With a very low inherent
tension the resonant frequency
can be very low too, and the
Z displacement can be vast.
Even with small-mass compact
microphones, a resonance of
<8Hz is possible, which means
that microphones can be
well-isolated across almost their
entire frequency range.
Damping has to be added to
metal spring suspensions, and
although integral to rubber
band versions, is not very easy
to control.
With the Rycote lyre webs
damping has been selected
almost independently by
choosing a suitable plastic.
The Hytrel that Rycote uses
not only damps smoothly but
maintains its characteristics
even down to arctic
temperatures.
Where springs and elastic
bands become thin and fragile,
and the range of softness for
rubber and foam is limited.
However this does not
apply to lyre webs. The lyre
webs isolate microphones
down to <30Hz, yet are tough
enough to be dropped on the
oor without risk.

Technical notes on vibration isolation
The InVision lyre has
‘shape memory’ that
allows it to be tied in knots
without developing a
permanent ‘set’ or breaking,
making the lyre virtually
unbreakable.
Which InVision do I need?
If a xed discrete prole is essential, use the STUDIO INV-1, INV-2 & INV-3
If boompole use is required, choose the BOOMPOLE & STATIC INV-4 to INV-10
