CABGRABBER
™
TENSION-FIT MICROPHONE HOLDER
OVERVIEW
A great companion to the Audix i5 dynamic instrument mic, the Audix
CabGrabber™ tension-fit mic holder clamps to the top or sides of amps
and cabinets, ensuring secure and precise positioning. Lightweight and
compact, it fits cabinets 8 to 14 inches in depth (CabGrabber XL fits 14- to
20-inch cabinets). Strong enough to hold microphones up to one pound, the
CabGrabber is compatible with every standard mic clip and works equally well
on cabinets with a flat surface or a recessed edge. Its tubular arm can rotate 180
degrees, allowing the microphone to be positioned directly over the sweet spot.
USER TIPS (MICROPHONE POSITION)
Edge mounting — The most popular position is just inside the edge of one of
the speakers, within one inch of the grille cloth, with the mic axis perpendicular
to the amp face. This position softens the tone somewhat. For more tone
variation, angle the mic slightly o axis (but not too much or you will lose the
intensity of the pickup).
Toward the center — The center of the speaker produces a harsh sound and
is typically not a desirable location for the microphone. However, as you move
towards the center of the speaker from the edge, the tone takes on more “bite”.
Move the mic from the edge towards the center to find the sweet spot.
Large diaphragm microphone — In addition to holding a dynamic mic like the
i5, the CabGrabber is capable of holding a large diaphragm condenser like the
Audix CX112, oering another option for creating a signature sound.
INSTALLATION
1. Grip the neck and rear of the CabGrabber.
2. Place the rear grip into position on the back of the cabinet first. Then pull
the front grip out and slide it over the front of the cabinet. Adjust so that the
bar is in a level position.
3. Adjust the neck choke to the desired position and hand-tighten the locking nut.
4. Adjust the axis of the microphone into its final position.
