Founded in 2015, URSA Straps have designed radio microphone consumables that are popular in live music, theatre, film, wedding, and conferencing. The range of consumables has extended from straps and pouches to microphone mounts and adhesion product ranges.
Ursa WireRig has been designed to allow the technician to mount a lavalier microphone is a desired position away from a surface, such as in a car rig or as a plant microphone. The mount has a 40cm, flexible copper wire to which a microphone cable can be wrapped around. The base of the WireRig has eight notches to lock off the wire in the desired position. Once the microphone cable is wrapped around the wire gooseneck, the end of the WireRig is bent over to retain the capsule, and the copper stem can be repositioned. The base of the WireRig is fixed to the surface using one of twenty included URSA Very Stickies adhesive pad.
Dimensions (WxDxH): 25 x 35 x 8mm. Wire length: 40cm.
URSA Foamies are low profile, soft foam mounts that allow the user to munt to skin or costume and give a buffer against clothing noise. The Foamies have flat sides to aid positioning, and can be stuck onto skin or clothing using URSA Tape Strips, see URSA STRAPS - Tapes and Adhesive Mounts. URSA also suggest Foamies can be mounted to aerial tips to aid reduction of RF loss.
Foamies measure 24mm in length, 17mm in width, and 9mm tall, however they can also be cut to size. The diameter of the hole is 2.5mm, stretchable to 6mm, and is compatible with microphones including DPA 4060/4071, Rode Lavalier, Sanken COS11, and Sennheiser MKE2/ME2.
Available in black or white finishes, and in packs of 12 pieces.
URSA Mini Foamies have the same features and usage as URSA Foamies, however as the name suggests, they are mini versions. Mini Foamies measure 22mm in length, 14mm in width, and 7mm tall, however they can also be cut to size. The diameter of the hole is 1.5mm, stretchable to 4mm, and is compatible with microphones including DPA 6060/6061, Sanken COS11, and Sennheiser MKE1.
Available in black or white finishes, and in packs of 12 pieces.
MiniMounts
These slimline lavalier microphone mounts have been designed to be used alongside URSA MiniMount Stickies to allow the user to mount a microphone 'where larger mounts cannot go'. The hardened plastic mounts are designed to retain shape and resist snapping, whilst having a hand-finished smooth surface to ensure any fabric 'glides across silently'. Most models measure 11 x 22 x 6mm, whilst the 6060 and MKE1 versions measure 9.5 x 20 x 5mm.
Available in 4 colours including black, brown, beige, and white; and in sizes specifically designed for a particular microphone or range of microphones. Each MiniMount is delivered with 5x URSA Minimount Stickies.
Ordering note: The DPA 4060 model also fits a CountryMan B3 with cap; the MKE1 model also fits a CountryMan B6 and Deity W.Lav Micro; and both MKE1 and MKE2 models are designed to be used without microphone caps attached.
