Stroud, UK, March 2008: Rycote, the industry-standard name in microphone suspension and windshield design, are launching InVision, their newest innovative range of handling noise-reducing microphone suspensions for compact microphones, on Stand H26 in Hall 8.0 at the Frankfurt Pro Light & Sound exhibition, from March 12th-15th, 2008.

For years, microphone suspensions have conformed to the same basic design, isolating microphones from handling noise by means of elasticated cradles. InVision is completely different; a new, patented design called the Lyre, comprising virtually unbreakable dual W-shaped clips of varying sizes, forms the heart of the new range.

The InVision suspensions are designed for use in studio and installed sound applications, and are not for use within a windshield. The Pro Light & Sound show, which takes place alongside the well-known Frankfurt Musikmesse, will see the debut of the first three sizes in the eight-strong InVision range. Known as INV-1, INV-2 and INV-3, these are designed for use with desk, stand-mounted or hanging microphones. The remaining five sizes in the range, INV- 4 to INV-8, are designed for use with boom-mounted mics, and will follow later in 2008.
