PROEL APM45S - Professional Mini ABS Clip for Small Diameter Microphones (18-22mm)
Maximize the stability and security of your audio setup with the Proel APM45S , a microphone clamp specifically designed to meet the needs of professionals working with slim-profile equipment. Manufactured by Proel, a world leader in audio accessories, this clamp features a robust ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) construction, an engineering thermoplastic known for its high impact resistance and superior durability compared to conventional plastic. Unlike generic clamps that tend to crack with continuous use, the APM45S ensures a long lifespan even in demanding environments such as live stages, daily conferences, or recording studios.
Its precision design is optimized to securely hold microphones with a body diameter between 18 and 22 mm . This range is the industry standard for pencil condenser microphones, gooseneck microphones, and certain dynamic instrument microphones. The grip is firm yet smooth, preventing accidental slippage that could generate unwanted noise during recording or, worse, cause the microphone to fall. Its matte black finish gives it a discreet and professional look, blending seamlessly into any visual setup without creating distracting reflections under stage lights or television cameras. Furthermore, its threaded system typically includes adjustability to ensure compatibility with the vast majority of microphone stands and mounts on the market.
Main features
-
High-density ABS construction: Offers exceptional mechanical strength and just the right flexibility to insert and remove the microphone without damaging the stand or equipment.
-
Specific clamping range (18-22 mm): Designed precisely for thin microphones, ensuring no play or strain on the clamp.
-
Universal mounting compatibility: It incorporates a dual thread (standard 3/8" and 5/8"), allowing it to be installed on any tripod, articulating arm, or desktop base without the need to search for external adapters.
-
Ergonomic and discreet design: Its "mini" profile does not visually obstruct the speaker or the instrument, keeping attention on the sound source.
Product benefits
Choosing the Proel APM45S provides immediate peace of mind for sound engineers and installers. Its main benefit lies in operational safety : designed specifically for small diameters, it eliminates the common problem of using standard clamps where thin microphones wobble or fall off. The ABS material is not only durable but also possesses slight mechanical vibration absorption properties, helping to decouple the microphone from the stand and reducing handling noise. Furthermore, its versatile threading saves time and frustration during setup, ensuring you can always install it regardless of the brand of microphone stand available at the venue.
Use cases
-
Conferences and Podiums: Ideal for holding gooseneck or flexible microphones on lecterns when integrated surface bases are not used.
-
Instrument Sound Reinforcement: Perfect for small diaphragm condenser microphones used on drum overheads , hi-hats, acoustic guitars or violins.
-
Broadcast and Radio Studios: For setups where discreet auxiliary support is required for guest or ambient microphones.
-
Places of Worship: Excellent for permanent installations on altars or pulpits where aesthetics and durability are priorities.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does this clip work for a standard SM58 type vocal microphone?
No, standard handheld vocal microphones typically have a larger diameter (around 25-30 mm). The APM45S is specifically designed for thinner microphones (18-22 mm). For standard microphones, you would need the larger model (like the APM35S).
-
Do I need an additional thread adapter?
Generally not. This Proel model usually includes the double thread (removable metal or plastic insert) that allows it to be connected to both fine (3/8") and coarse (5/8") thread supports.
-
Is ABS material fragile?
On the contrary, ABS is an engineering plastic that is very resistant to shocks and temperature changes, surpassing in quality the brittle rigid plastics of inexpensive clamps.
