Ridged Tube Instrument Percussion

[1x 1/4"-20 Male] Ridged enough to support my Nikon D3x so I guess it will support just about any DSLR.

[M8 screw thread] the E-Percussion Module Mount by Alesis is the perfect part i was looking for....

[-84 dB ±3 dB] I use for orchestra percussion overhead and that do a great job bringing in everything from xylophone to triangle

[2.54 lb] Much better than the cardboard charts which are inexpensive but flimsy and not totally flat. This has a ridged plastic frame that clicks into place as well as a ¼-20 tripod mount. If you have a camera that has the capability to fine tune the focus, then this will do the job accurately. It also folds flat and a storage pouch is included. Excellent product.

[Side] Very solid for a simple accessory, but the ridged edge makes a difference in removing tight filters.

[5 x 3.4 x 0.65"] The machining on this ring is perfect. The ridged edges make it easy to use. I dropped mine on a rock. When I picked it up there was no sign--not even to the paint. I have to admit that I thought the price was outrageous, but now that I see it I feel like it is worth the price. Really, the finish is as fine as in high end jewelry.

[60 x 10 x 5"] I was wanting to buy one of these for years and never could justify the cost but after getting one I wish I would have got one years ago. The ridged frame makes it so much brighter than the usual collapsible reflectors. And wind is not longer a factor and so much easier for someone to aim and keep the light where it needs to go.

[Music Rest] It's a good quality instrument that I like so much

[Tap Tempo] Can’t beat this little instrument for the money!

[Side Address] In my project studio I record various acoustic instruments such as guitar, upright bass and violin. I also record vocals and various hand percussion. I have traditionally used small condensers such as Neumann KM 184's and AKG C451-B's but was craving the sound that only a large diaphragm can deliver. I love AKG products especially those built in Vienna. So far have only used the 214 on vocals, acoustic guitar and middle eastern percussion and it more than met my expectations. I love the AKG sound. To me AKG's are not as transparent as Neumann BUT that is what I dig about it..it brings a bit of color and an openness. At the price point..this is a must have mic..you can never go wrong with AKG
