  • Pistol-grip handles enable handheld use and include 3/8" boom adaptor for quick transfer
  • Fits stereo mics up to 270 mm long, 19-34 mm diameter with 5-pin XLR

Rycote XLR-5F 68 Duo Medium Modular Suspension

This professional suspension system is designed for stereo microphones up to 270mm long with a 5-pin XLR connector and 19-34mm diameter. It also accommodates small diaphragm condensers up to 120mm long with a 3-pin XLR connector and 19-25mm diameter. The unit fits Windshield 3 or 4 for outdoor recording.

Suited for field recordists needing stereo mic

It serves engineers using mics like the Rode NT4 or Sennheiser MKH 418 who require complete isolation from handling and cable-borne noise. The modular Lyre webs adapt to different weights without elastic wear. Buyers needing a suspension for mono microphones or larger diameter bodies should look at other models.

Handheld or boom mounting in seconds

Comfortable pistol-grip handles allow immediate handheld use while a 3/8 inch adaptor in the base enables quick transfer to a boom pole. The Medium modular bar is built for durability and the Lyre webs are virtually unbreakable. No tools are required to swap webs or mount the microphone.

Questions about this item

What microphone length and connector does the 68 Duo Medium suspension accept?

It holds stereo microphones up to 270 mm long with a 5-pin XLR connector, and small-diaphragm condensers up to 120 mm long with a 3-pin XLR connector.

Can I mount this suspension on a boom pole I already own?

Yes, each pistol-grip handle has a 3/8" thread in the base for quick transfer to a standard boom pole.

How do I confirm the Lyre webs are isolating handling noise after I install the microphone?

Tap the frame and cable while monitoring; the Lyre webs should suppress the impact sounds so only the intended audio is heard.
