Know before you buy
The InVision USM-L is designed to accommodate any microphone with a body diameter between 18mm and 55mm. As long as your microphone falls within this range, it will fit securely.
Unlike elastic bands that can lose tension or snap over time, the Lyre system uses a specialized thermoplastic elastomer. This provides consistent, long-term isolation without the need for maintenance or replacement parts.
The USM-L is rated for a maximum weight capacity of up to 400g when positioned horizontally. If your microphone exceeds this weight, you may need to consider a more robust mounting solution.
Yes, the suspension system is engineered to provide up to 12 dB of sound isolation. It effectively decouples the microphone from the stand, significantly reducing vibrations and mechanical noise.
The construction is designed to be virtually indestructible. It is built from high-grade thermoplastic and metal, making it far more resilient than standard shock mounts that rely on fragile elastic components.
Absolutely. The USM-L is built to function in a wide temperature range, from -31°F to over 212°F, ensuring the suspension remains effective regardless of extreme studio conditions.
