Title: Stand Recommendations...
Post by: Patrick on June 04, 2004, 12:02:42 PM
I run stereo Nachimachi 300's, which come with their own stand mount.

Is there a universal shock mount that I can use these mics with?  If so, will someone please link me?

After I have procured the shock mounts, will someone recommend a good stand for mounting.  

Btw, I have searched the archives rather thouroghly, and could not come up with the information that I need!

Thanks alot!

I run Nak CM300's also.  I dont have shock mounts (yet), but I know Mark from this board has shock mounts he runs w/ his.

As far a stand goes, it depends on what you are looking for.  I think in the archive section, there is a whole topic on different stands and where you could find them for sale.  It may be a few pages back by now, but its there somewhere.  Very helpful.  You will also need at T-bar.  I use the one linked below.  Its a good universal t-bar, and I can guarantee it will work w/ the CM-300's.

I have tried several stands and really like the Bogen/Manfrotto 3372 as my first choice. 
The 3373 is sweet as well (way stealth and compact).  Neither of these are tall, but 7.5/8ft is all you really need anyway.  I have a whompin' a$$ 18 ft air cushioned Bogen/Manfrotto that I use for festivals and big section shows but can't recall the model # off hand.

i have a manfrotto/bogen AC stand that i got from masterpieceav (now dale pro audio) since 2000 and love it, it's a shit kicking stand and stands up to damn near anything. Mine's i think 13'.

I have a Bogen 3076 and I really like it, 13' as well I believe.  I don't like t-mounts, though.  I'd go with a Shure A27M (top of the page that Jim posted a link to) although it will cost you $50 more.  As for shock mounts... those mics are probably wide enough to fit into the AT8410a.  I just got a pair and they seem very sturdy.  I'll be testing them this weekend.

with most stands (including the one I mentioned above), you will need thread adapters.  with the Shure A72M you will need one 1/4 or 3/8 to 5/8 adapter.  depending on what mic clips you have you might need couple 5/8 to 3/8 adapters as well.  micsupply.com has both.

i have this stand as well.  I think it is nice and it is sturdy, but the foot-print is very large.  Also, it is huge when folded up...i am going to replace mine soon.
