The Yellowtec IXM website states the diameter of the shank of the microphone is 38mm.   I'm afraid this is too big to fit in any of our microphone clips and suspensions.

We'd recommend the InVision INV-7 suspension for the MKH50 for interiors used along with the Tac!T inline filter, due to the sensitivity of the mic to handling noise. The lyre on the INV-7 is a 72-shore, so will manage a MKH50 well, with say a foam gag fitted. If you're ever using it with anything heavier on the front like a Softie of BBG, then the INV-7 HG MkIII would be better. I've added a brief note from our audio specialist about the Tac!T:   There is also a finite frequency at which the mechanical isolation of the suspension ceases to work - that's an inevitable factor of any spring system. The art is to make sure that the channel response is rolled off ~above~ that frequency.

The ideal roll-off curve for handheld and poled mics is to have a knee at about 60Hz and to use an 18dB/oct (or even24dB/oct) slope. Unfortunately Sennheiser provide proximity effect bass cuts (6dB/oct) but not the much sharper cut you need to get rid of handling noise. The Tac!t is simply a way of providing a steep cut (18dB/oct) at the front end of the chain. This prevents any really low LF handling noise getting through and removes any risk of it overloading the front end preamp.

You can fit the Tac!t anywhere in the mic cable - at the pole end or the mixer. It is a true balanced amplifier - the circuitry is completely symmetrical - and sneaks a little current from the P48 supply to drive it. It has no insertion loss at normal frequencies.   Description: InVision INV-7  Order Code: 041107 Web link: www.rycote.com/products/041107   Description: Cable w/TAC!T Filter, XLR-3F/3M, L45cm x 4.8mm Order Code: 017022 Web link: www.rycote.com/products/017022   InVision 7 HG MKIII (041118) from Rycote on Vimeo.

We'd recommend the InVision INV-7 HG MkIII shock mount for the C535EB. The clip will happily accept a slightly tapered mic body. The mount has a built-in 3/8" female thread, and comes with an adaptor to allow it to fit a 5/8" stand too.

The thread is a female 3/8" UNC (which will accommodate both BSW & UNC), it comes supplied with a 3/8' BSW to 5/8" UNF brass adaptor for our American customers. We do make a 3/8" hotshoe adaptor, which has a female 1/4" BSW thread in the base (Link). InVision INV-7 (041107) from Rycote on Vimeo.

The 9.5mm Lyre has a nominal internal diameter of 8.0 mm - which has an effective grip range of 9.0 mm - 10.0 mm. It was designed primarily to grip the reducing sleeve to hold the Sennheiser MKH8000 series or Schoeps CCM Lemo/cable.   Rycote Originals - The Lyre® Microphone Suspension from Rycote on Vimeo.

The key difference between the two mounts is whether or not you’ll be fitting any form of windscreen on the mics. The INV-7 HG is designed to support the mic from the rear, and allows weight to be added in the form of slip-on windscreen solutions (heavier than foams).   The INV-7 is a pure 'cradle' suspension with more complaint Lyres®, and can only handle a foam gag. The INV 7HG MkIII is slightly stiffer.

So ultimately, it depends on how you’re planning to use your mics.   Relevant product information can be found here:   INV-7 http://mymic.rycote.com/products/invision-inv-7-/   INV-7 HG MkIII http://mymic.rycote.com/products/invision-inv-7hg-mkiii/
