Members RoadRanger Posted July 9, 2013 Members Share Posted July 9, 2013 Nice! Brings up one point though - that stoopid long boom on the SL vocal mic. I have quite a few of those "fixed" booms and was thinking of cutting them down to 18 inches of extension maybe . Obviously I need a couple long ones for overheads and one for the drummer's mic but is there any good reason to leave the rest long? I hate the way they look on stage with the arse end sticking way out like that - plus I do a lot of super small "stages" where they up take too much space.

Members monthlymixcd Posted July 9, 2013 Members Share Posted July 9, 2013 The "junk in th' trunk" on the booms are there as counter-balance... but if your mics have no significant weight to them... cut away my friend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Axisplayer Posted July 9, 2013 Members Share Posted July 9, 2013 RR, my stands don't fail, but the booms have over the years. Instead of buying everything new, I started putting these on stands I already had.http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/505115-REG/K_M_21140_500_55_21140B_Microphone_Boom_Arm.htmlNone of them has failed yet.

Members StratGuy22 Posted July 9, 2013 Members Share Posted July 9, 2013 I use the shorter booms as well. Less chance of someone bumping into the long boom and jamming the mic into someone's grill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I have been doing it leaving the mic stand itself totally "down" and using the length of the boom to go mostly "up". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dookietwo Posted July 10, 2013 Members Share Posted July 10, 2013 First nice clean setup. Bet it sounded great as well. What did you use on the upright bass? I've tried these on a few gigs. Very solid locking "teeth" so they don't slip. Down size it you have to loosen them up quite a bit to adjust. Only other drawback is you can't spin the shaft the mic is on for fine adjustments using them on say drums. But overall I like them for small and solid. http://www.amazon.com/Stage-MSA9503-13-Inch-Posi-Lok-Mini-Boom/dp/B0002E550E#productDescription Picture of them in use.

Members RoadRanger Posted July 10, 2013 Members Share Posted July 10, 2013 ^ I do have a couple of those. They come in three lengths I think. They do have "lock nuts" so you can fix the rotation of the mic clip. I'd get more except I have all these cheap booms already LOL . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
