Product Information

Full details

The Rycote InVision Studio Kit is designed for vocalists and podcasters seeking a stable suspension and effective pop filtering solution for larger and heavier microphones. Its key benefit is the secure, vibration-resistant mounting system combined with an integrated, easily adjustable pop filter. A potential consideration is its specialized design, which is optimized for larger mics, meaning smaller, lighter microphones might not be the ideal fit for this specific kit.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the Lyre suspension system?

The Lyre suspension system uses no elasticated parts, meaning it will never sag, wear out, or require rethreading, providing consistent and reliable microphone isolation over time.

Can I use this kit with my small USB microphone?

This kit is optimized for larger, heavier condenser microphones (55mm-68mm diameter, up to 900g). Smaller USB microphones may not fit securely or be held effectively.

Is the pop filter removable?

Yes, the pop filter is designed to lock tightly onto the USM's outer support ring, allowing it to be easily attached, detached, or repositioned as needed.

How do I clean the Rycote InVision Studio Kit?

Clean the mount and pop filter with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.

What microphones are specifically compatible with this kit?

It is designed for microphones between 55mm and 68mm in diameter and weighing up to 900g, such as the Blue Kiwi, CAD E350, and SE Electronics Z2200.

Does the kit come with a microphone stand?

No, the kit includes the shock mount and pop filter system. A separate microphone stand is required.

Troubleshooting

Microphone feels loose in the shock mount.

Ensure the shock mount's clamping mechanism is fully tightened around the microphone. Verify the microphone's diameter falls within the 55mm-68mm range specified for the kit.

Pop filter is not staying in position.

Tighten the locking mechanism on the pop filter arm and ensure the pop filter itself is securely attached to the mount's support ring.

Excessive vibration is still present.

Confirm the shock mount is properly secured to the microphone stand and that the stand itself is stable. Ensure the microphone is centered within the suspension.

Pop filter obstructs microphone capsule.

Adjust the position and angle of the pop filter arm and the filter itself to find an optimal spot that blocks plosives without interfering with sound capture.

Pros and Cons

  • Offers excellent vibration isolation for cleaner audio.
  • The Lyre suspension is durable and requires no maintenance.
  • The integrated pop filter is convenient and adjustable.
  • Accommodates a wide range of heavier studio microphones.
  • Sturdy build quality ensures longevity.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Attach the InVision Studio Kit to your microphone stand via the standard thread mount.
  2. Open the universal shock mount clamps and carefully insert your microphone, ensuring it fits securely within the 55mm to 68mm diameter range and does not exceed the 900g weight limit.
  3. Adjust the pop filter arm to the desired position in front of the microphone. The pop filter itself can be tightened onto the mount's outer ring.

Compatibility:

  • Microphone Diameter: 55mm - 68mm
  • Maximum Microphone Weight: 900g
  • Thread Mount: Standard 5/8" microphone stand thread (adapters may be needed for some stands).
  • Compatible Mics: Blue Kiwi, CAD E350, SE Electronics Z2200, and similar sized/weighted microphones.

Care:

  • Wipe the mount and pop filter with a dry or slightly damp, soft cloth to remove dust.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the materials.
  • Periodically check that all parts are securely tightened, especially the microphone clamps and pop filter attachment.
