Micstand/arm attached on cabinet

[noarin]

Ok, I've been looking for a micstand, actually it's more like a mic arm; that you can attach to your cabinet.. I've seen some bands use it and it seems quite handy..

here's a picture of it:

does anybody know where to get these (in europe) and if there are any downsides to it?

thanks in advance!

I haven't tried these but how do you sweep the mic to the right (towards the cab clip) without having to move the mic backwards

 

[noarin]

well this was just a bad example.. hehe, I've seen "micstandarms" (lol) that could move in any direction; I really like to know where to get these and if there are any disadvantages in sound or something!

I would guess the mic picks up quite a bit of chassis rumble from being attached to the cab directly. Perhaps it sounds good, perhaps not.

Hmm, good point; I remember when I had my 5150 combo sitting on the floor and was mic'ing it up with a boom stand, and the ridiculous rumble traveled up the stand into the mic and caused some icky phasing. I'd imagine a clip on thing would be even worse!

I like to use a Z-bar. You need something sitting on the cabinet to hold it in place (like an amp head or handle), but it works very well and is easy to set up/break down.

Or some gaffers tape.


I saw August Burns Red, Darkest Hour, and Unearth on Wednesday, and most of them were using the Z-Bar, gaffer taped to the top or side of the cabinet.

You can do one yourself. Get a clamp like this one and attach a gooseneck to it.
I've made one for myself and works just great. Maybe you want to make a small rubberpad for the clamp, just not to ding your cab.

sounds like a plan.. but me being as lazy as I am, do you know any shops that sell them? I've seen other bands use it; and I don't think they built them like that! any idea what it's called?

I know they sell something similar for drums, actually drum accessories' stores have loads of cool gadgets that could come in handy for what you need.
Or you might want to look for one of these.

I went to the same tour (different city), and I believe they're still using Framus Cobras, who they are endorsed by.

One dude had a Cobra and a 5150 running at the same time, couldn't see what the other dude had.
