Rode SM4R Rycote Lyre Suspension

Swapped out the old elastic bands for this lyre mount and the difference in handling noise is night and day, especially when I'm moving around the studio. The silicone suspension holds my mic firmly without any sagging.

Swapped my old hard mount for this and the difference in handling noise is honestly night and day — tapping the boom arm no longer thumps through the recording. The lyre suspension holds the mic firmly without sagging, and setup took maybe two minutes.

The lyre suspension does cut down on handling noise better than a solid mount, which is what I needed. That said, the fit on my mic feels a little snug, and I had to fiddle with the clips to get it seated right. Works fine for studio use, just not as effortless to set up as I hoped.
