Do you mean just the mic clip to attach it to the stand? I's just order the Shure ones - I got a few replacements for some 57's, and the newer ones are a bit tighter and worked just as well for our Shoeps and for SM81's etc. I think we got them from Sweetwater. www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/A57F |

I bought a pair of these hokey-looking clips from GC about 15 years ago and they have actually been pretty great. They fit all sorts of smaller mics www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/MHR122 Sometimes, even better than the expensive, but ill-fitting mounts that are sold for certain high-end mics (I'm looking at you Schoeps). |

No! Not the clothes pin ! Noooo! That's like buying KT88's from a guy with a van in the Walmart parking lot! |

Hey, he's also got smokes, gold jewelry, and fresh steaks with the label peeled off the package. Can't be all that bad, right? |

That parking lot guy is pretty useful. Serve enough of those Yokahama beefstakes to your hipster friends, and maybe they will actually follow through on their New Year's resolution to become vegan, and beef might get affordable enough for the audio crowd. Changes are always incremental. He also has added a Sennheiser clip repair to his inventory, manufactured by Duck industries, and residue remover for your big Ebay liquidation by Ron-sun. Petroleum fumes may cause cancer, breathe deeply....

looking for suggestions for good cost effective microphone clamps. needed for sm57 and pencil mic types. If this is related to your "mobile rig" thread, I would avoid the butterfly clips like the plague and go for molded Shure or Sennheiser clips. The butterfly clips don't hold up well to travel or live work. |
