Are You Into Vintage (Old) MIcs?

Is there a difference between Vintage, Classic and Old mics? Yes! Vintage is an old classic mic that still works. Classic is the one that was popular--and you can't afford. And old is......probably me and you because we recognize some of these old mics.

Rycote Mic Suspension

Have we seen this somewhere before?

If you want a quality vocal sound, you need quality components all the way down the line.
You’ve invested in good mics and mic preamps; why let your sound down with a throwaway elasticated microphone suspension?
Most suspensions rely on the same basic elastic cat's-cradle concept, a design that has remained unchanged for nearly 60 years. The InVision™ USM, by contrast, makes use of 21st-century technology and materials.
The InVision™ USM is based on Rycote’s patented vibration- reducing Lyre mounts, and can accept round and flat-sided large-diaphragm instrument mics from 18 to 55mm in diameter.
Attenuation of unwanted vibrations, handling and stand- borne noise is up to 12dB better than traditional elasticated designs. That means it’s often twice as good across the frequency spectrum!
The InVision™ USM Lyres are ex- tremely durable; made from an unbreakable material, Hytrel™, they will never lose their tension or need re-threading.
