Fitting & using the H-clamp

The H-Clamp has been designed to be as simple as possible to use and has

a number of features to protect both your instrument and any microphones

used with it, from accidental damage. In normal use in accordance with

the instructions contained in this manual, the H-clamp should be com-

pletely safe for use with any of the instruments for which it was designed.

There may also be many other possible uses for the product but no assur-

ance can be given in respect of its suitability for any purpose other than

those described in this manual. Also, while the product is very robust and

designed to prevent any damage to your instrument or microphone, care-

less or reckless use may cause damage to either your equipment or the

H-clamp itself.

Choice of microphone

The beauty of the H-clamp is that it can

be used with practically any microphone.

Almost all clips and mounts supplied with

microphones or purchased independently

are designed to attach to stands with the

same screw thread as the boom of the H-

clamp (3/8” BSW), either directly or with

a thread adapter. The majority of clips and

mounts also ﬁt larger diameter threads

(5/8” BSW) and are usually supplied

with adapters to allow their use with the

smaller thread. These thread adapters can

also be purchased readily from musical

equipment retailers. With the right clip or

mount, any microphone can be attached

to the H-clamp but particular care must be

exercised with larger models (heavy vocal

microphones or large diaphragm studio

condenser microphones).
