Microphone Clip Rode CLIP1 — universal microphone holder for stands and booms

Rode CLIP1 is a universal microphone holder designed to secure handheld and small-diaphragm microphones to stands and booms. The clip provides a firm grip and quick attachment, enabling stable positioning for studio recording, podcasting, broadcast and live sound applications. Compatible with standard microphone diameters, it simplifies mounting and repositioning during rehearsals, sessions and performances.

Advantages

The durable construction ensures reliable retention of the microphone while resisting wear from repeated use. Its universal shape accommodates a wide range of capsule sizes and delivers consistent clamping force without compressing microphone bodies. The straightforward mounting design lets users attach and remove microphones quickly, reducing setup time and enabling fast changes between takes or performers.

Suitable for

• Handheld vocal microphones on stage and in rehearsal rooms
• Small-diaphragm instrument microphones for acoustic instruments
• Podcasting and voiceover setups on boom arms and desktop stands
• Broadcast and live sound rigs requiring quick mic changes

Key specifications

• Universal clip design for standard microphone diameters
• Durable polymer construction for repeated use
• Firm, non-damaging grip that prevents rotation and slippage
• Quick attachment and removal for fast setup
• Compatible with standard 3/8" and 5/8" stand threads when used with appropriate adaptors (stand thread compatibility dependent on stand/boom)

How to use

Place the microphone body into the clip opening and ensure it sits securely within the grip. If necessary, rotate the clip on the stand adapter to achieve the desired angle, then tighten the stand or boom connection. For stands with different thread sizes, use an appropriate thread adaptor to attach the clip. To remove the microphone, gently pull it free from the clip while supporting the stand or boom to avoid sudden movement.

Usage recommendations

Check the microphone diameter before mounting to confirm a secure fit. Avoid over-tightening stand connections that could stress the clip or microphone housing. For sensitive or vintage microphones, verify that the clip’s grip is non-abrasive and consider using a foam sleeve or shock mount where additional isolation is required.
