hi
im hoping to get some mic clips for my church audio cards. i currently use the crokies but would like to have an alternative option.
are there any particular clips i can/should use for these?. also, when clipping mics to a shirt/jumper, is there a way to make sure they point forward as opposed to them flopping around (sorry if this seems like a stupid question).
thanks
Alex

I second what taylordb said. These are great clips and at a good price too. You don't want the kind that don't rotate-these are much easier to use.

Are you securing the mics over the foam of the mic since the foam and the mic are one in the same for the CA-14's? I'd appreciate some pics.

im based in the UK so would prefer a UK based site (should have specified this before).
im not sure what foam your talking about - sorry. do the mics sit static once attached to a shirt say?.
thanks

I just had the loaner pair of CA-14's and these mics have a body of them that is entirely foam and then at the base they go to the cable. For other mics, like AT's and MM's, the Shure clips attached on the plastic of the body. That's not possible (or I don't think it is) with the CA-14's. I think the only solution may be a clip that works to clip onto the cable so the foam body of the mic is not damaged.
When I used them, I used some paperclips for a collar mount and that worked good.

I didn't think he was referring to the CA-14's. I thought he was referring to the standard CA-11 cards.
I don't know a UK source for the clips.
-
Sorry, those clips do work for the CA-11's, not the 14's.

If the OP indeed has the CA-11's (hasn't been clearly noted yet I don't believe), then disregard this post.

The Sound Pro people ship overseas, don't they? Might be worth it to give them a call and inquire about their clips

Thanks for posting this but I'm cheap. ;D
Has anyone made 'special' clips for their mics? I know there has to be some way to do it.

I just got a set of clips for my CA-14s for SP: AT-MINI-CLIP
AUDIO TECHNICA SINGLE MINI ROTATING CLIP FOR SP-CMC-8 AND AT943 MICROPHONE SERIES MICS
$10 each and they seem to work fine, although I haven't tried them in the field yet.

I had these Mako when I had the loaner pair of mics, but didn't think they'd work, so I never tried them with the CA-14's.

Get the Shure clips, by far the most versatile clip that size

I just received my CA-14.
Chris did forget to add clips to the mics as ordered, so I'm trying to figure out another way. I am cheep also and don't want to buy clips for 20 bucks.
On my CA-14 with Mogami wire, they have a little body protruding from the permanent windscreen. The dimensions are 7mm round and 10mm long.
I asked Chris if I could glue alligator clips to them (like the CA-11), but have not heard back yet. I don't know if epoxy will stick to the heat shrink or what ever he uses. So I have been thinking about other ways.
I usually clip mics to my glasses by my ears. I was thinking of a little wire and solder the clip on it and then just twist the wire around the body that protrudes from windscreen.
Also I was thinking of buying some of those cheap earphones that rap around the ear and just taping the mic to it.
So far that is all I have come up with. Any other ideas will be welcome.

mount 'em inside of a cap, they're up higher and out of sight even
;D

I did do that with the CA-11 and worked well in the hat. I do like using my thick scull as a seperator. It's the best use off my head.
CA-14 don't seam to be great for hat use. Now if I'm at a out door concert, I will put them in my straw hat.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks! I didn't know if the link above and the description below it were of the same clips.
