Frequently asked questions
What's the main functional difference between these two products?
The H50 mounts two mics on one stand for stereo recording, while the SA60 is a single-mic adapter with angle adjustment for any recording setup. They serve different purposes—one is for stereo pairs, one is for precise single-mic positioning.
Which adapter works with my microphone stand?
The H50 uses a 3/8" thread mount for standard microphone stands. The SA60 uses a 5/8" thread, which is the professional studio standard. Verify your stand's thread size before purchasing either.
Can either of these products work in live performance?
The SA60 is explicitly listed for live performance and includes adjustable angle positioning. The H50 is designed primarily for stereo studio recording setups, though it could work in live contexts if you need stereo miking.
What microphone types are compatible with each?
The H50 works with any two condensers or dynamic microphones via standard mounts. The SA60 accepts microphone shafts 0.7" to 1.1" in diameter, limiting it to small and medium condensers and straight-bodied dynamic microphones.
