Mic-clamps for Milab 44-V Link?
« on: February 29, 2012, 08:49:46 AM »
Hi, proud owner of a new pair of Milabs.

I did some research here and it seems there are a few home-made mounts for these mics, but I wonder what regular mounts can be used? Milab has a few of his own, but they are (for me,) too expensive. I am looking for something small. Some way to clip the mics against something...?

Any suggestions?

check outTeam Milab .01 has a lot of talk on this.

It really seems people make their own in some way or another. This is mostly my mount: http://imgur.com/ygge0
its using: Atlas AD 7BStand Tube, shure A53M, cold shrink tape. Tape is wrapped around the tube and inserted into the a53m. The mics are mounted on the on the tube. Shure can be used on windtech or with a little extra hardware, used on a superclamp.

I have seen AKG T-bar model  H 10 but I have not been able to find it for sale.

IME, the most useful mic mounts allow for adjustable spacing and variable included angle.  When I had a more compact setup without ready-made mic mounts available, I cobbled together this setup:

Wrap a little gaffers tape around each A26X and they fit into a Shure A53M snugly.  (Without the tape they're too loose.)

TS member "it-goes-to-11" may consider producing mounting bars for the VM-44 Links once the Gefell Active project is completed.  The Gefell/AKG actives are his priority for the time being (including mounting bars for the Gefell/AKG actives) but the Milab VM-44 Link bars may happen at some point in the future...

and a  DIN bar

Currently I mostly use the DIN bar for most venues and events.

I have seen AKG T-bar model  H 10 but I have not been able to find it for sale.

I could be wrong but I think the original H10 bar has been discontinued.  IIRC, the K&M 23550 microphone bar is pretty close in design to it.
