The Sennheiser MZQ-8000 Standard Microphone Clip is a precision-engineered accessory supplied with every MKH 8000 series condenser microphone (e.g., MKH 8020, 8040, 8050), providing a reliable, vibration-damped interface between the microphone and standard 5/8"-27 threaded microphone stands or booms. Constructed from high-impact ABS polymer with a matte black finish, the clip features a dual-axis swivel mechanism (360° horizontal rotation, ±90° vertical tilt) that locks via a knurled thumb screw (torque 1.5 Nm), enabling fine-tuned directional alignment with <0.5° play under 500 g load. A quick-release lever allows tool-free insertion and removal in under 3 seconds, and the clip’s low-profile design (55 × 40 × 35 mm, 45 g) maintains minimal visual obstruction in broadcast or orchestral settings. Compatible with all standard mic stands, booms, and stereo bars.
