Critic Reviews

Audix Cab Grabber

soundonsound.com

The Audix Cab Grabber is a clever solution for mic placement, eliminating the hassle of traditional stands in tight spaces. Its sturdy grip ensures the mic stays put, making it ideal for live settings. However, it does have limitations—particularly with smaller amps and positioning flexibility. While it excels for larger cabinets, users should be cautious with vintage gear to avoid damage. Overall, the Cab Grabber effectively meets its purpose, making it a valuable tool for engineers seeking simplicity in close-miking situations.
