Pig Hog Quick Release Microphone/Stand Attachment
The Pig Hog microphone quick release adapter makes microphone set-up a snap. Swiftly swap any standard 5/8″ mic clip, boom arm, accessories, and more! The adapter uses a full metal construction for strength, with a sleek modern design that blends in nicely with any microphone stand. A gold ring becomes exposed when the adapter is disengaged, elegantly indicating that the attachment is not secure. The hex bit fits securely into the base and prevents accidental rotation. Rubber cushions create a tight connection while preventing noise and vibration. And the Pig Hog quick release has a “no question” lifetime guarantee. The Pig Hog Quick Release retails for $24.95, and 3 microphone adapters go for $21.95.
