sandy_r Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Intriguing combination of function there! Can you get close enough to the mic without it being on a boom? ...and impressive tall grey speaker cab in the rear - is that a Zanussi 3x 10" ? 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundfreedom Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 I really like that idea. I will offer you five pounds for ninety five percent of your company. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewblack Posted November 2, 2023 Author Share Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) The angle is perfect - 90° off the top of the pedal board and the rake of the board sends it a good foot out from the pedals Edited November 2, 2023 by stewblack 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Impressive - how is it bolted on and could it take the weight of an ipad (or for that matter, a drunk pub goer falling over it!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 There's still room on there for a couple of PAR cans and a Zoom Q2n 4K. Just saying ... 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used this and it's very happy with a 10" tablet. The main advantage is no legs sticking out forcing my pedal board away and requiring a long boom which is more vulnerable to audience interference. Fortunately I never seem to play in front of a crowd sufficiently enthusiastic to knock anything over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewblack Posted November 3, 2023 Author Share Posted November 3, 2023 Road tested last night. Only drawback I could find? Accessing the underside of the board to fix a wiring problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 How long does it take to set up compared to a normal mic stand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slot it in and tighten two grub screws. I keep the Allen key attached to the side of the board. It's about the same as setting up a mic stand - quicker than some. I find it easier to put the board on a table (or on a cab) to get at the bracket without lying in the floor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike257 Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 I did similar on a bunch of pedalboards for a project I was involved with. You could replace the grub screw with equivalent threaded wing bolts for manual tightening and make it even easier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could replace the grub screw with equivalent threaded wing bolts for manual tightening and make it even easier! Found a couple of pics... This was when I was working with a touring orchestra show playing rock tunes, with the whole string section on electric instruments and playing through loads of gnarly distortion and effects. They'd been laying out pedals, DI boxes, stage power etc every day and it was a faff, with things getting damaged and going missing, and everyone was on a variety of mic stands/music stands/iPad clamps for their sheet music. Built seven of these boards that all mounted in to a single flight case for transport. They all had a power in and thru connections on Neutrik True1 so they could be linked across the stage in one run to save cable mess everywhere. Wasn't my choice of effects units, I heavily campaigned to ditch them the whole time I was involved 🤣 The mount and stand are a standard K&M part made for ceiling-mounted mics, and came with Allen bolt fixings which I swapped out for chunky knurled thumbscrews that could be easily popped in and out with no tools.

I cannot find that mic ceiling fitment on the K&M website. Ah, it seems you can only buy it with the mic stand.
