[NAMM] Rycote Studio Kit

Dubbed the Rycote InVision Studio Kit, it’s a suspension and pop filter system designed to accomodate a large-diaphragm vocal microphone, and allow mics to be swapped without the need to change the suspension and pop filter at the same time.

The Rycote InVision Universal Studio Mount, or USM, makes up one of the components of the new Studio Kit.

The other component in the Studio Kit is the Rycote InVision Universal Pop Filter. The pop filter’s frame is designed for placement near the mouth and face of a vocal artist, and fits an acoustic foam mesh filter, which can be removed for cleaning or replacement (spare foams are available separately). The mesh is capable of attenuating low-frequency vocal pops and thumps by up to 20dB.
