Title: Need mounting suggestions akg ck91's
Post by: Kindguy on April 16, 2007, 02:56:09 PM: Looking for suggestions On how to mount AKG ck91 caps. With hardwire actives.
Is there a active mount made by AKG? I couldn't find anything.

Tried the PVC DYI it just won't work for this setup. Due to the caps being hardwired to the actives & The cable is stiff on the back up to where the blue or red starts.

Here's a pic

I think I have a couple of Neumann actives clips around somewhere if you think they'll work. No bar or screws or anything, just the plastic end clips.

I was gonna refer to one of my dad's uber cheap keyboard auctions on fleabay. We have several hundred in a box, all used but in perfect working order. And clean ;)

Looks like Dirk has your new mounting option. Or Dennis' option.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. T+'s around. Although I've hit most of you already today. I should have posted this in the TDS thread ;)

Post by: poorlyconditioned on April 16, 2007, 07:07:39 PM: Hey, those are my mics (and keyboard!). Let me know how they work for you.

For mounting I've had great luck just taking some 12ga house wire (thick stuff, like used for dryers or air conditioners), removing the strands out, and making a "loop" big enough to hold the mics by the windscreens. You can then run the wire to a clamp or any other improvised support. This is cheap, easy, and the windscreens basically act as shockmount.

Here is a photo:

This is an earlier (messier) version of the mics, I think my CK93 hyper caps.
