Title: SHURE A53M ***WARNING***
Post by: dointhatrag on May 23, 2007, 01:40:35 PM

Its squeaks, I cant believe they would design something like this. Rubber against metal always squeaks !

I have a piece of gaff tape around the center or my kwon bars, which also creates a better fit and would alieviate this problem

and your point is?  lots of us use these clips with 480 and 460 bodies and we have no problems with the combination

Squeaking when? When putting the body in the mount or during a show? I'm lost ???

I'm surprised by this posting since I've used Shure "rubber donuts" for, I dunno, maybe 35 years without any squeakage. They're a terrific design in my opinion--highly effective and almost stupidly simple.

The only thing missing is some kind of cable fastener so that a loop of cable can be "pinched off" and isolated. But the usual plastic spring clips on the boom and stand take care of that quite nicely.

Can you explain what, exactly, caused your squeaking? Were you repositioning your microphones while recording? That's always a high-risk maneuver, not to be undertaken lightly (like traveling the Jundland Wastes).

--best regards

hey man,

I ran this on a stereo boompole with CMXY4V thats when I heard the squeaks, not at a show, lol.

But I will try the gaff idea.

thanks.
