PAIN & SOLUTION

Repeatable microphone angles, spacing, and array structures for suspended rigs.

Pain points of traditional rigs

PAIN POINTS

01

Wire-rigged angles are out of control

Drop risks are constant; suspension angle depends on hand feel and experience

02

Traditional clamps cannot rotate precisely

Direction locks after tightening; every setup requires disassembly

03

Setup takes too long

Multi-mic arrays need constant adjustment; recording-day time is tight

What the XD Series solves

DADAO XD SOLUTION

01

Microphone cable carries the load

No extra steel wire / counterweight / rigging — 5 minutes to setup

02

Rotates after tightening

360° stepless rotation, patented (ZL 2023 2 2288672.4)

03

The XD system scales freely

XD1 / XD2 / XD3 + 5 bar lengths — expand as your project grows

5-minute basic setup · patented product · for compatible recording arrays

CORE TECHNOLOGY

Material, rotation, and component connections

01

MATERIAL

Aerospace-grade aluminum, mono-block precision cut

The 39.5 g XD1 reduces suspended load. Vibration control still depends on the microphone, cable, and installation.

02

MECHANISM

360° main-shaft rotation that still aims after tightening

Smooth stepless 360° main-shaft rotation, patented (ZL 2023 2 2288672.4) — unlike traditional ratchet dead-locks

03

SYSTEM

XD components connect five bar lengths

XD2 and XD3 work with 40 / 60 / 100 / 150 / 200 cm bars for single-microphone and multi-microphone arrays.

BRAND & WARRANTY

DADAO AUDIO Designed and manufactured.

DADAO AUDIO designs microphone mounts, array bars, and related tools for recording studios, broadcast, and film sound teams. The XD Series combines suspension, angular positioning, and bar connections in one modular mechanical system.

BUYER NOTES

3 buyer notes

01 / On the hand feel

Hand-tuned — slight variation in rotation feel

All XD Series components and bars are hand-tuned during assembly, not from a production line. The rotation feel may vary slightly between units, but this does not affect clamping performance. Feel is independent of product function.

02 / On DIY

Combine components for the array

XD1, XD2, XD3, and five bar lengths can be combined in several ways. The page shows common rigs; unusual arrays still require checks for load, spacing, locking method, and site safety.

03 / On usage scenarios

Stand-mounted or suspended

XD components can connect to compatible microphone stands in the studio or use XD1 for suspended mounting. Overhead work requires an independent safety system that follows venue rules.
