I used it on a Marshall 4x12, Boogie Nomad, Fender twin and deluxe reverb. You can put a mini boom onto the standard 5/8 threads if you need to get to the center cone on some amps (usually not a good sound). Most mics you buy come with the clip that fits them and again those fit on the standard threads.

I got mine a few days ago and it just clean things up. It's nice to not have to worry about tripping over the stand and then having to refind you spot. You can just set it and leave it for days and never lose your spot. Nice thing to have around for sure.

useless and overpriced

It doesn't fit a Marshall cabinet, which is 14" and it says it fits up to 14". Well if you stretch it real hard it will, but it won't grab right so it sits very unstable. It also doesn't work on a Fender 1x12 combo because it doesn't reach far enough to the middle. Even if it fits, you are restricted to only a few mic positions. This thing is way to expensive. The concept is great, but the measurements are wrong. I wasn't able to try it out and see if picks up the vibrations of the cabinet. I wish I had not ordered it. Now Musician's Friend is making me pay for the return shipping, on top of my disappointment. Thanks!

Odd Mic Placement!

I cant get the Mic to reach the Cone! (Center of the Speaker) on my Mesa Combo its off about 5" or Line 6 for that fact with a 57 Mic. And my 609 is out of the question Just to far away. I have some different mic holders which seems a little more stable and positioned better. I may return this not sure yet . Plus a lil pricey . Ok though if your not particular about mic placement on certain amps. lol

audix cab grabber microphone holder

The audix cab grabber is functional and well designed. The "heavy-duty" spring is strong and takes some strength to put the bar in place, but once in place, it's there to stay. That being said, there are a few issues that need to be voiced, (1)The product workes great with smaller combos. I have a blues jr. and a messa nomad 1x12 and it works great. The mic can be placed anywhere from about the center to the edge of the speaker with no problem, but with larger 112 combos, there are problems, a)because the mic arm is only about 5"(from bar to the end of the mic arm) plus a mic clip (about 1")you only have about 6" from the edge of the amp to the positioned mic. I have a fender pro reverb with tilt back legs. The pro is approx. 26" wide. Center of the amp is 13"(from the edge of the amp), a 12" speaker would extend 6" from that 13" center on each side. With these measurements. the audix cab grabber would just barely be at the edge of the speaker (90 degrees on axis). b) Also the tilt back legs have to be "tilted back" for the bar to fit securely on the side of the amp(no big problem). c) Putting the bar across the top is not a good idea because of getting in the way of the control knobs. Positioned from the bottom is almost impossible. There is a SOLUTION. I use a 6" gooseneck adapted to the arm of the grabber. This gives me that additional length to place the mic well inside the diameter of the speaker, to find that "sweet spot" With the added weight of the gooseneck and the mic(I use a shure beta 58) the mic holds its position very well. The cab grabber works great with 212 combos or 412 cabs. If you use a larger 112 combo, use these simple calculations to determine the position of the mic or buy a gooseneck
