Microphone thumb nuts

Post by vvv » Thu Sep 15, 2011 9:37 pm

You know, that bezeled nut on the bottom of Chinese LDC's, that fits over the XLR barrel, that you take off to put the hard mount on and put back to hold it ...

Anyone got a source to get these?

I don't know the exact size (7/8"? 15/16"? metric?), but MXL's, Samson, CAD's, Behringer - they are all the same size.

It's the black thing at the very bottom of the mic:

Did you give mxl a call? They might be helpful.

Hey, if they're all the same then just buy from whoever will sell them cheapest/fastest.

If only I could find someone to sell them; the MXL guys is apparently jes' doing me a favor.

Actually, Samson says they would, but they are outta stock.
