Newb question about studio projects B1

[jcook]

Hey all,

I have a really really stupid question (i think) about the shock mounts that come with the studio project B1's. My question is, how do i mount it to a mic stand It seems the shock mounts have a smaller thread on them than the standard mic stand thread and it wont attach onto the stand. Do I need an adapter or am i missing something really obvious?

Thanks

Unscrew the brass insert from the center with a dime, and then try it.

I wasn't trying to be a pompous ass, I was mearly suggesting that reading the manual would answer his question, and give him the answers to many more questions that haven't come up yet. I have found on my 'voyage of knowledge acquisition' that reading manuals helps me get the most out of my gear.

Yup. And keep the inserts - you'll need them if you ever buy European-made booms or stands (like AKGs, which have the smaller metric threads). Congrats on your purchase of some really cool mics! You'll get lots of use from them.

Or you could send the inserts to me ... as I seem to keep buying mic clips that don't have them in
