The existing InVision USM can be used to mount microphones from 18 to 55mm in diameter, and thus accommodates most studio recording microphones, but the new InVision VB will hold the broadest large-diaphragm models from 55mm to 70mm, such as the Neumann M149 and M150, the Studio Electronics Gemini 5 and G3500, the Rode Classic II, and the BLUE Microphones Kiwi and Mouse, as well as design classics like the original Neumann U47.
"With the addition of the USM VB to the InVision range, there's now a USM for almost every microphone," explains Rycote's sales & marketing director Stefano Pucello. "The original USM, launched at Winter NAMM two years ago, has been very successful, and studio owners who bought them began asking us if there was a even broader version for their favorite super-large-diaphragm mics. And now there is."
