Title: Audio-Technica AT853 Mounting
Post by: chinariderstl on May 04, 2016, 06:26:58 PM

Hi, Team, does anyone know which, if any, of the following mounts will work with the AT853's?  These are the AT853's proper, not the AT853a's.  They seem to be a little thinner.

Here is a picture of the mics.

I use these when running open. You have to be creative when setting angles (I usually do POS anyway) but they work like a charm:)

Any idea what size those 45 degree pieces are? Thanks!

Thanks all; I am going to try the Audix SMT-Micro's with a Shure A27M for a quick-and-easy X/Y mounting option.

I'll let you know how I fare ...

Just to confirm: The Audix SMT micro mount works well with the AT853 (I have the SP-CMC-4U version). Picture attached.
There's also the Audix MC-Swivel version that has a pivot / ballhead mount.

Almost positive this is the item... (http://www.lowes.com/pd_237109-322-52705Y_1z0zq5c__?productId=3339796&Ns=p_product_price|0&pl=1)

The above DIY mount has 1/2 and 3/4 pipes...the inside 1/2" fit the connectors...then lather up with some caulking and slide a 3/4 over it to fit your normal microphone mount
