OQAN AMS-AD35 - 5/8" to 3/8" Thread Adapter for Microphone Stands
The OQAN AMS-AD35 is an indispensable accessory in any recording studio, rehearsal room, or live stage. This thread adapter is designed to solve the most common incompatibility problem between microphone stands and shock mounts. Its main function is to allow the mounting of accessories with a standard 5/8-inch thread on stands or tripods that use the European 3/8-inch thread, ensuring a firm and secure connection for your audio equipment.
Made with high-strength materials, this adapter ensures your microphone remains stable during any performance or recording session. Musicians and technicians often find that the clip on their new microphone doesn't fit their existing microphone stand; the AMS-AD35 is the professional, affordable, and simple solution for unifying all your microphone hardware without needing to buy new stands.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this adapter work with any brand of stand?
Yes, provided the bracket has a 3/8-inch male thread and the accessory to be mounted (clamp or spider) has a 5/8-inch female thread. These are the two standard sizes in the audio industry.
What material is it made of?
The OQAN AMS-AD35 is made of durable metal, ensuring a long service life and resistance to thread wear, unlike plastic adapters that can break easily.
Do I need tools to install it?
