K&M 19695-300

Bought a couple of these for use with low level tripods to mount a couple of the T-Box MA5 monitors. Very well made and exceptionally strong for their size. We took the adapter out of the base and they mounted directly onto the stands with a 3/8th thread. The adapter for the MA5 then screwed directly onto the top of the Ball & Socket joint, making a multitude of positions instantly available.

This product has been a great help in the studio. It makes getting microphones into hard to reach places a whole lot easier.

I've found this to have a few uses already. One is for use with a stereo bar, which makes it a lot easier to get a pair of microphones up on the end of a boom to use as overheads, for perhaps drums or as I have found, very useful for recording a choir. I also use this for a single mic in a shock mount, which makes getting the microphone at the right angle very easy. It is simple to adjust, with just the turn of the screw, and then you're ready.

It is very solidly constructed, which the 5 year guarantee that comes from the manufacturer suggests. You can easily hang a large tube mic from it without worrying about the weight of it causing the angle to drop. You pay for quality here, it is absolutely top notch!

This is one of those products where you think 'How was I able to work without this?' It is small and simple yet it is so effective, it just does its job perfectly. It really is a must for any studio or stage. If you have a boom that doesn't have the smaller arm on the end of it (which is normally pointing downwards) then this really is a must, it fills that position wonderfully!
