Modular suspensions provide complete isolation against handling and cable-borne noises, by supporting the microphone in a cradle arrangement using Lyre® suspension webs. 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.
