Topic: open recording with AT933 w/853 adapters

[obaaron]

Hey y'all!

What do you guys recommend to mount these mics when open recording?  What mic mounts fit these tiny things?

[Hypnocracy]

Maybe a variation on the old 853 Lowe's Right Angle Street Connector in the plumbing aisle?



Plug the small side of the connector and fill the larger back side with epoxy...the plug keeps the end free to fit the 853...drill out epoxy to fit the 933 and saw kerf for cable clearance...

Yep, I made a DIY DIN bar like this for less than $5 at the local hardware store. My variation has a slit in the elbow so I can thread the cable before the capsule, and I also lined the end of the elbows with craft felt that was lying aroud the house. A little spray paint, and your the shizniz of the section.

A search will give you multiple threads on the subject IIRC.

after seeing what others did I came up with this idea
I ran the bodies without the caps thru the disassembled pieces of PVC
and used a small amount of foam to hold the bodies inside the 1/2" PVC that I put inside the 45* pieces




I have a large pair of windscreens I put over the PVC to protect the caps

thanks for the pics and links!

I use the rycote lyre.  I did make my own "spacer."    I don't like how the stock one pinches the cable.  If you weren't taking the mic off the mount frequently it wouldn't be a problem.
