Three years of Naiant microphones!


It's now been three years and over 4,000 microphones since the first Naiant was sold.  In celebration, June will be free clip month—extended through July!


. . . I ordered a shipment of what I thought were the same high quality spring clips I sell as accessories.  While this particular brand of clip is good quality; it has one flaw: the clip doesn't pivot a full 180 degrees.  That means that on a straight stand, you can't pivot the mic to horizontal.  They work great on a boom stand though . . .

Since I don't feel that I can sell these clips, I am giving them away!  Just add a request to your order comments that you'd like a free clip!  Limit one per mic, while supplies last!


US customers only for X-Q, X-D, X-T microphones.  Free clips available to international customers only with X-M microphones.  This is because of the additional shipping charge I would incur to send spring clips internationally!
