Audix Introduces the CabGrabber-XL™

Just a year ago (January 2009), Audix Corporation introduced the CabGrabber™, an innovative microphone accessory for the pro audio market. The CabGrabber™ was a huge hit and one of the most successful new products of 2009. In response to the market demand, Audix has now introduced the CabGrabber XL™, an extended version that handles larger size cabinets from 14 - 20 inches in depth. Simple, elegant, compact, and easy to use, the CabGrabber-XL™ enables sound engineers and musicians to conveniently place a microphone on large guitar and bass cabinets without the use of a mic stand. The CabGrabber-XL™ is constructed of durable steel tubing and is very capable of holding microphones that are typically used for miking guitar cabinets securely and firmly in place, including large diaphragm condenser mics weighing up to 16 ounces. The CabGrabber-XL™, which is held on to the cabinet by a tension fit design, works equally well on cabinets with a flat surface or a recessed edge. The tubular arm, which is threaded to hold any standard microphone clip, will rotate 180 degrees and can be locked into position with a thumb screw. Cliff Castle, VP of Sales, states "Ever since we produced the i-5 five years ago we have wanted to produce an accessory that we could bundle with it that would simplify miking a guitar cabinet. The CabGrabber™ has turned out to be the perfect product for the job, and now with the addition of the XL version, the two products will handle just about every cabinet out there." With a condensed length of just 12.5 inches, the CabGrabber-XL™ can easily be stored in the back of an amp or a gig bag. The CabGrabber-XL™ is available from authorized Audix dealers at a suggested retail price of $89.
