Precise Microphone Positioning

The Avid BL-MA-014 ball and socket adapter gives engineers 360° horizontal rotation and 90° tilt for exact microphone placement. Dual 5/8" and 3/8" threads fit standard stands and clips without extra hardware. Aluminium construction keeps the unit light at 0.082 kg while supporting 1.6 kg of gear. It suits podcasters, drummers and studio technicians who need fast, repeatable angle changes.

Stable Under Continuous Load

The all-metal joint core resists creep during long sessions, and the dual locking screws — hand-tight plus hex-wrench — prevent drift when a heavy large-diaphragm condenser is mounted. Tested to 1.6 kg, the adapter holds position through vibration from kick drums or guitar cabinets. No plastic inserts mean the clamping force stays consistent over months of daily adjustment.

Simple Install, Watch Thread Fit

Screw the adapter onto any 5/8" or 3/8" stand, set the angle, then tighten the lock ring counter-clockwise to secure the mic. The hex wrench stores in the box for high-load lockdown. The only common issue is mismatched stand threads; verify your stand uses one of the two provided sizes before mounting.

Questions about this item

Does the ball-and-socket head generate any heat or noise when left locked at one angle for a full recording session?

The all-metal adapter has no moving parts once tightened, so it produces no heat, fan noise or electrical hum during extended use.

What thread sizes must my existing microphone stand and mic clip provide for this adapter to connect?

The adapter includes both 5/8-inch and 3/8-inch all-metal threads, so your stand and mic clip need to match one of those two standard sizes.

Will the 1.6 kg load rating hold a large-diaphragm condenser mounted on a typical boom arm without slipping?

The dual locking mechanism — hand-tightening screw plus hex-wrench screw — is tested to 1.6 kg / 3.5 lb, securing heavier mics on standard boom arms.
