Description
Overview
The Gibraltar Shock Mount Cymbal Adaptor is a specialized hardware solution designed to optimize microphone placement within a drum kit. By converting a standard cymbal tilter into a secure mounting point for a microphone arm, this adaptor allows drummers and engineers to position microphones closer to the source without the need for additional, bulky tripod stands that clutter the stage or studio floor.
Key Details
- Conversion Capability: Specifically engineered to screw onto 8mm cymbal tilter threads, transforming them into a functional microphone arm mount.
- Compact Footprint: Designed for a low-profile fit to ensure it does not interfere with the drummer’s movement or the cymbal’s natural vibration.
- Durable Construction: Built to Gibraltar’s hardware standards to withstand the vibrations and rigors of live performance environments.
- Lightweight Design: Weighing only 0.16 lbs, it adds negligible weight to the cymbal stand while providing significant utility.
Use Cases
- Overhead Mic Positioning: Ideal for placing overhead microphones or cymbal-specific mics directly on existing hardware for a cleaner look and faster setup.
- Studio Recording: Perfect for tight studio spaces where floor space is limited and traditional mic stands would be in the way of the performer.
- Live Sound Reinforcement: Allows for consistent microphone placement during tours by integrating the mic mount directly into the drum rack or stand configuration.
Installation
Installation is straightforward and requires no specialized tools. Simply remove the cymbal from the tilter and screw the Shock Mount Cymbal Adaptor onto the 8mm thread. Once secured, you can attach your compatible microphone arm or shock mount to the adaptor. This process effectively repurposes an unused cymbal arm into a dedicated mic boom.
Compatibility
- Thread Size: Compatible with standard 8mm cymbal tilter threads.
- Hardware: Works with most professional cymbal stands and drum rack tilters utilizing the 8mm standard.
