smkranz Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Hello, all. I bought a Sony ECM-MS907 mic with my new NH900 MD. However, the mic holder's threads are too large for a standard mic stand. (What are those larger threads intended to be used with, then?) So I found another holder that sort of fits the 907 mic but because of the shape of the mic it really doesn't fit well and I'm afraid it might slip out. Haven't been able to find an adaptor with the right thread comination to use the original holder with my mic stand. Any suggestions? Maybe there is a mic holder out there that uses spring clamps rather than just a friction fit...if so, I haven't come across it yet. Thanks!

KJ_Palmer Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 I bought one of these microphone holders (the top one), from Maplin in the UK. It fits pretty well my ECM-MS907, as well as other largish mics, actually, and is spring loaded, and has a standard thread. I imagine you can get something similar where you are. If not, maybe you could put a little rubber or foam sheet around the mic to hold it in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smkranz Posted October 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Kevin, thanks for your reply. I now see that same spring-loaded mic holder available at numerous U.S. sites and will probably go for it...it's certainly inexpensive enough. Am continuing to wonder, though, if anyone knows or has figured out Sony's intended application for its own mic holder, or if there is some adaptor one could use, since the threads are too large for any mic stand I've seen.

smkranz Posted October 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Found that Radio Shack stores sell essentially the same spring loaded mic holder for $5. Holds the MS907 nice and snug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Otaku Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 The standard molded rubber/plastic mic clip used by Peavey [and sold with their stage mics] fits a MS907 snugly and has the standard thread size on it for mic stands. They can be bought separately for something like $5-10USD. Rubberised clips reduce handling noise somewhat. A hard plastic clip transmits such noise. This is important if [like I did] you are using the mic for capturing sound for foley purposes on a handheld boom. Peavey's rubberised clips are also somewhat more durable than most hard plastic ones, since they are basically unbreakable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
