Questions & Answers
Shure SM57 microphones are, in my opinion, the best.
Sure
I think this mic holder is pretty good; I've used it on a server before and have had no problems with it.
They're one-of-a-kind, but they're fantastic. It took some tweaking to get the mic at the right height for the best possible recording, but they're fantastic for both recording and live performances.
Selected User Reviews For Big Bang Distribution Conga/Bongo Mic Mount
I wanted to record a set of congas, but I didn't know where to start. For live performances, bongos are a must-have. I was doing the job with boom stands. However, because I already have a large setup, I wanted to minimize the amount of gear I had to transport as well as my stage footprint. These tiny mounts appeared to be ideal for the task at hand. br>br>For an overhead mic, I placed one on each conga and one between the bongos. The conga mounts were simple to set up and adjust to the precise position I required. With the bongos, I had to think outside the box. I bent the mounting bracket at a 90-degree angle to fit it between the two drums on the stand, and it worked flawlessly. When not in use, I simply remove the rods while leaving the brackets in place. They'll still fit in their bags if you do it this way. If I had one quibble, it would be that the mounts wobble a little, but this does not appear to be a major issue. It's a great little setup, and I'm very pleased with it.
The two halves of the holder are connected by a thick rubber piece. The rubber, I assume, acts as a shock absorber, preventing the drum from vibrating. The issue is that they eventually fall apart. This is the second time it's happened to me. Because I can't seem to find a replacement clip that fits the thread on the metal rod, I'm forced to buy the entire assembly. When it's not broken, it's fantastic, and I'm not aware of any comparable products.
It would probably work better if I were only trying to mic a single bongo, but I have two. The insert piece does not go as far into the bongo as it would on a single bongo, so it isn't a perfect fit, and the microphone jiggles a little while I'm playing. Even so, I'll keep it because it's still preferable to setting up a second microphone stand.
I have four of these mounts, and they're all great. I like how they have almost no footprint, are stable, and well-built. I use one of these to mic my djembe, congas, and bongos, and I have another for my hihat. If you want to mic up close without having to use a huge mic stand, this is a must-have.
My djembe was almost too small for this. There isn't always a lot of thread to mount to. Because the mic clip loosens frequently, I now carry a flathead screwdriver with me at all times to tighten it before each performance. It gets the job done. But only by a hair.
I used it on my set of congas for gigging with sm- 57s. It appears to hold the mic at the ideal height (due to the fact that it is adjustable). It has a substantial weight to it. This is not a low-cost p. I intend to purchase additional congas for my studio.
Installing it was a breeze. These are fantastic. Installing it was a breeze. It perfectly holds my microphones. I enjoyed them so much that I purchased a second pair for my travel congas.
When you play it, it shakes a little, but it doesn't have a big impact on the sound.
