Topic: Mic Mount (partly custom built)

[afri-cola-man]

Sometimes a venue will allow to fix one's microphones to the ceiling or a post. This is especially helpful in crowded places where putting up a stand is suicidal. 

I had two t-bars (large and small) built of aluminium, that can be screwed or even taped to a convenient surface.






The removable adapter - also custom - can also be used on my stand. It can be tightly secured with a screw.




The mic bar is a standard superlux item. A bit heavy but very sturdy.




The shock mounts themseves are a brand called t.bone and are sold in Germany by Thomann http://www.thomann.de for about $ 10 a piece. The outer frame is metall, the inner one plastic. Easy to handle and suitable for many mic sizes.




The assembled gadget:

Way cool.  The machine shop did a great job and you have put together what looks to be a good rig.  I am going to try to make one out of plastic pipe with one fixed hole and a bunch of open holes for the other mount to be fixed to for DIN, NOS, ORTF and so on.  It will be very cheesy.  Love it.  I just hope it works, too.
