help finding a mic clip for km 184

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

My God...$70 for the sg-21/17 swivel mic clip through an authorized neumann
dealer in my area! A little molded plastic, a screw and a thread! I want to
get into THAT business. Does anyone have a spare or know where I can get one
for a reasonable rate?

ElectroVoice 311 fits well, more adaptable to other microphones and is way less
money.

If you want the Neumann one, $70.00 is the price and they are very rare. (best

shock mount..

Geez, I'd love to get hold of few of these. But no one carries them in
Toronto.

You go into Long and McQuade and they have a wall of different condensor
mics---but do they carry the doughnut? Do Not.

I agree that they're very effective (apart from their lack of a cable
clamp), but the A53M was designed for 3/4" (= 19 mm) barrels while the
KM-series Neumann microphones all had their outer sleeves strengthened
a couple of years ago, and now are all 22 mm in diameter.

The A53M is very good with 20 mm microphones such as most Schoeps models
and the AKG C 451 series. But whenever I've tried to use one with, for
example, a Neumann KM 84 (21 mm), it would often scrape the Neumann emblem
right off of the body if I wasn't careful to insert the mike from the other
end. A 22 mm microphone might not fit through at all unless a fair amount
of force was applied to it.

The Audix clips made for the D-1, D-2 and D-3 will fit the 84/184 up to
the badge, which stops the clip. AKG SA-41s will also work, as will the
SA-40 albeit a little tight. Again, the Neumann badge inhibits a number
of hard plastic clips.

It does take some force, but I've never had it knock the label off.

There is a larger version of the A53, which is intended for use with SM-57s
and similarly larger microphones. That might be worth considering. But
I regularly use the A53 with the Josephson Series Six mikes which seem to
be a bit thicker than the Schoeps. Now you have me curious to actually
measure them.

They loosen up after you use them a while. Thinking about it, mine are
probably over 30 years old so that's QUITE a while....

I agree, BUT:

Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT remove the screw that attaches the base to the
body. There is some gaseous, invisible and completely undetectable
substance in there that escapes when you do. After reassembly, the body
flops back and forth with no friction/resistance to hold it in place.
Spooky.
