Topic: Mic clips for CA cardiods?

[Lapp20]

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

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.
