Title: ? for mbho owners...
Post by: Nick Graham on February 24, 2004, 01:02:00 AM

I bought my mics used a year or so ago, so I don't really know what (if anything) comes with a new pair...but does mbho make mic clips? If not, anyone know a brand/model # that will work? Will the AKG 480 clips fit?

I own a pair of AT8410s, but sometimes they can be kind of bulky...just some standard clips would be nice.

mbho does make clips for the active caps, but they are cheapass plastic holders. For full bodies, the AT's work fine, I think you could even fit the caps in there. My one real complaint when I had them, other than boominess in very thumpy situations.

They are $35 each and you can get them at any MBHO dealer.  Yes they are plastic, but I'm not sure about the cheapass comment :)

I'm pretty sure about the cheapass comment. I had both break on me 01 at Berkeley Panic.

I had the MBHO clips for the 603A's "active" cable setup for a while.  Just because Mr. All-Thumbs-Ogre-Brute broke his, doesn't mean they're cheapass.  I thought they were just fine.   :)

ouch, Brian, a little hostile today?  ;D Btw didn't break them really, the damn plastic screws got lost, and I had to tape things together.

Yeah, a little hostile.  :)  Had to get up 90min earlier than usual for a complete waste of time conference call.

I had the same problem with the plastic screws, though I caught what was happening before they fell out so I didn't lose 'em.
