Low-cost Threadsaver from Io Audio Technologies Protects Microphone Shock Mounts

November 22 2021, 00:10
Dallas, TX-based Io Audio Technologies has released the Threadsaver, a new, low-cost hardware product designed to extend the lifespan of any microphone shock mount. As anyone with studio and stage experience knows well, microphone shock mounts receive extensive damage due to repetitive installation and removal from mic stands. This abuse significantly strips and wears down the inner threads of the shock mount which can often be irreplaceable or costly to repair. Now, there is a solution. The Threadsaver by Io Audio Technologies works as a barrier by taking the repetitive stress instead of our precious equipment.
 

“Consider the Threadsaver a sacrificial piece of hardware,” says Randy Rivero, Product Manager. “Once you’ve worn the threads off of the Threadsaver, you can remove it and replace it with another piece which saves you the hassle and cost of having to replace your more expensive equipment.”
 
Consisting of a 5/8"-27 male thread to a 5/8"-27 female thread this product works as an extension of any standard equipment. Constructed as a solid stainless steel piece, the Threadsaver won’t create buzzing or vibration that will enter the microphone shockmount. And Io Audio Technologies reassures us that his hardware piece is not only durable but it will not tarnish or corrode.
 
Used by screwing into the base of the shockmount on one end and attaching the mic stand on the other, this product is affordably priced as it is used in a sacrificial role and is simple to install when replacement is needed. This hardware is perfect for recording studios, performance centers, or wherever the removal and attachment of a shock mount on a microphone stand is necessary.
