DClamp
OVERVIEW:
The D Clamp is a low prole, sinple-to-use mounting system that
eliminates the need for bulky mic stands. Easily operated, the
D Clamp is provided with a standard
allows any mic to be used by just simply changing the clip. The
MC2 clip provided ts the Audix D Series microphones.
The D Clamp works on most tension rods associated with hand
percussion instruments (such as congas and bongos) as well
as standard 9.5mm and 10.5mm knurled rods found on tom and
percussion mounts. It provides a nice clean look especially when
used with the Audix right angle XLR mic cable.
The D clamp can also be used with the Audix Micro D small
condenser mic by simply replacing the D clamps gooseneck with
the Micro D gooeneck. This allows the Micro D to be used in tight
spaces (congas, timbales, bongos) where a larger dynamic mic
may be hard to position.

For best results, position the head of the mic approximately 2
inches above the drum head and two inches inside the rim aimed
towards the center of the drum (usually about 45° angle). the
photo on the cover is a good example of this position. Depending on the size and type of microphone being used, the height of
the metal gooseneck will have to be adjusted. Simply loosen the
wing nut on the side of the clip and move the gooseneck into the
proper position then tighten. The goosenecj can also be angled in
any direction to achieve the desired position.
Microphone placement is not an exact science, it depends on the
instrument, the player’s style, the type of music, the loundess of
the music, the room acoustics, the sound system, the engineer
and of course, the microphone itself.
The bottom line is that experimentation is ultimately the key to
achieving the best results for each applicatioh. For more ideas, contact Audix and request a copy of our Microphone Application Guide.
