Audix Cab Grabber

Unfortunately mine broke after only a few sessions. I used it only on two small combos in a home studio with an SM57 and a D6 bass mic (on a Line 6 Spider II guitar combo and a Hartke A25 bass combo) and I would recommend either spending more on a more substantial unit or to take great care and dismount it as soon as you have finished using it, in order to protect the mechanism and not leave it in the stretched position any longer than necessary, especially if you are using it on a larger combo or cab or are using it for stage/touring purposes. Alternatively buy a decent quality short boom mic stand if you have the space!
It's a shame because I know Audix make some great products (as mentioned I also have their D6 which is an excellent kick drum/bass amp mic that I use regularly) and of course it's possible that mine was just a below-standard example which escaped through quality control but I also have to say that Thomann's service was excellent and I have absolutely no complaints about them, just the unfortunate experience with the product.

After many years of carrying various mic stands around - and sometimes forgetting to take one, i came across this problem solver.

I use the Audix Cab Grabber on a Peavey Classic 30 and Yamaha DG100-212 and it fits on both perfectly. I usually have an SM57 in there but have used other mics without any issues.

Transporting the Cab Grabber is a breeze if you have an open back amp.

Everybody that has seen it has commented on what a great tool it is and I couldn't agree more.

In terms of quality, I cannot imagine it getting damaged very easily; it certainly feels very solid and well built.

Would I buy it again? I just did! 2 is better than 1.
