Install A Microphone Clip On A Stand

You can screw a microphone clip onto the end of the microphone stand.


A microphone clip is an attachment that connects a microphone to a microphone stand. Having a microphone clip on your stand is essential in order to secure the microphone. Although vocalists may hold a microphone in their hands, musicians who are playing instruments and singing must have their hands free. This makes it necessary to mount the microphone through the use of a clip. Many stands do not come with clips when you buy them, so you must purchase a clip and install it yourself.


Instructions


1. Locate the top of the microphone stand. Vertical stands feature an area at the top that has metal threads onto which a clip can be screwed. "Boom" stands have a horizontal arm that attaches to the vertical stand. The metal threads on boom stands are located at the end of the horizontal arm.


2. Position the microphone clip over the end of the microphone stand. Center the clip on top of the threads on the end of the stand.


3. Turn the clip in a clockwise direction to screw it onto the stand.


4. Turn the clip in a counter-clockwise direction if you need to remove it from the stand later.
