RAD CLIPS! Everything you need to know!
, by Molly Davies, 3 min reading time
Just eight months after releasing our RAD series of shock mounts, we now have specialised mic clips that fit a range of different microphones. Every mic clip sold is completely compatible with every RAD mount we sell. These can be swapped, mixed and matched to your liking.
Let's start with the most popular, The MKH50 Clip! The Sennheiser MKH50 microphone, much to our surprise, is by far one of the most popular microphones being used with the RAD Shockmounts. Within a matter of weeks, we had requests from customers to create a clip that made it easy to slot the square shaped mics into. So here it is, The MKH50 Clip! With no soft over-moulding and a removable safety strap, these clips allow for a quick transition of mics.
Mic Compatibility: Sennheiser MKH20, MKH30, MKH40, MKH50, MKH60
Available as a pack of 2 or with the RAD-1 Shockmount, MKH50 Edition
Next up is the 19/20mm Clip. This clip was designed around the ever-so-popular LOM BasicUcho omni-directional electret microphone. We wanted to create a lightweight, slim clip to make sure it would hold the mics securely, without the need for the additional safety strap. This clip also fits a range of 19-20mm microphones.
Microphone Compatibility: LOM BasicUcho, DPA 4018C, Sennheiser MKH 8050, Sennheiser 8060 and Deity S-Mic 2
The 12.5mm Clip, designed for some of the smaller microphones such as LOM Uši Pro and Core Sound TetraMic 1st-Order Ambisonic.
Microphone Compatibility: LOM Uši Pro, Core Sound TetraMic 1st-Order Ambisonic, Clippy XLR EM272Z1,
Finally, the 8mm Clip. The collection wouldn't be complete without a clip that can hold the Lemo connectors for the Schoeps CCM microphones and capsules with amplifiers CMC1-U, CMC1-L and CMC1-K. The 8mm Clip is also compatible with the rear of the Sennheiser MKH 8050 when being used with the MZL Connector.
Microphone Compatibility: Schoeps CMC1-U, CMC1-L, CMC1-K, CMC6, CMC6-XT, CMC6/CUT60 and CMD42. Sennheiser MKH 8050, Clippy Microphone.
These available as a pack of 2 or as a RAD-1 Shockmount, CCM/CMC1 L Edition
Microphone Compatibility: Schoeps CMC1-U, CMC1-L, CMC1-K, CMC6, CMC6-XT, CMC6/CUT60 and CMD42. Sennheiser MKH 8050, Clippy Microphone.
These available as a pack of 2 or as a RAD-1 Shockmount, CCM/CMC1 L Edition

, by Simon Davies I wanted to see if using the MKH 50 with the RAD-2 Camera shoe will work or if that’s a bad idea because it will break or damage the mic clips?
