Lyre™ upgrades

Shock Rating: MAX

Upgrade your existing suspension with our Lyre™ upgrades, and benefit from second-to-none isolation from handling noise and vibrations.

The patented Lyre™ are extremely robust, and virtually unbreakable, as they do not use no elastic or rubber components which are prone to wear and tear. These completely backward compatible Lyre™ have replaced the original silicone O-rings suspension, and can be bought separately to upgrade older suspensions.

Universal Lyre™ fit microphones from 19 to 25mm diameter. MKH Lyre™ are designed for slab-sided Sennheiser microphones.
