Lyre Pair for Nano Shield Kits    22/25mm Opening for Microphones    72-Shore Material Hardness    Tool-Free Adjustment and Removal

Rycote has advanced the patented Lyre mount and redesigned them specifically for the Nano Shield kits. While the basic shape might look similar, the material, thickness, center of gravity, and mechanical properties have been engineered to provide a more compliant handling response in the direction the microphone is pointing whilst giving more stability in other directions to prevent mics from bottoming out or moving side-to-side. Adjustment and removal are easy and can be performed on the go with no tools required.

This lyre pair supports the following microphones and Nano Shield kits:

• Audio Technica AT4073 - NS4-DB
• Neumann KMR81i - NS4-DB
• Rode NTG4 - NS4-DB
• Rode NTG2 - NS5-DC
• Rode NTG3 - NS4-DB
• Rode NTG4+ - NS5-DC
• Sanken CS-3e - NS4-DC
• Sennheiser MKH8060 - NS3-CB
• Sennheiser MKH416 - NS4-DB
• Sony ECM670 - NS4-DB

Q: 3. Can i use with Rode Blimp??

Q: 4. Will these work for the RDE videomicro. I see the diameter matches but can it be put on the cold shoe part?

A: Hi Jason: thanks for your question! The technology behind the Lyres originates with Rycote; however, we have licensed Rde to manufacture their own version, and so the Lyre that comes with and fits the VideoMicro and similar/other products is designed and manufactured entirely by them. Rycote's official Lyres are not incorporated: any versions you see on Rde products are made by them using their own materials and production methods under licence. Please get in touch with Rde to resolve the issue here:a href= http://en.rode.com/contact target= _blank http://en.rode.com/contact./a
