spiderArm Launches Microphone “Mic” Adapter for iPad

It’s fun to find innovative products that are affordable, simple, and yet still have multiple uses. This new mounting system for the iPad will prove useful for studios, producers, engineers and DJs as well as musicians.

We’ll bet you can come up with a bunch of uses for spiderArm’s new microphone mount in the studio or onstage.

Let’s let SpiderArm – an ergonomically-minded company that just arrived on the scene in 2011 — tell you about it, in their words:

“SpiderArm Ltd., the company behind the interchangeable and customizable iPad 1,2 and 3 Mount System, has announced the worldwide availability of the spiderArm Musician Mount Adapter that allows musicians, DJs, producers and more, the ability to position their iPads in the most ergonomic and performance-enhancing positions, hands-free.

The adapter fits all American and Western microphone stands and is now available at spiderArm.com with a MSRP of $9.99.

The spiderArm modular system allows users to create a hands-free viewing set up that provides the most precise and enjoyable experience with their device; therefore reducing potential muscle fatigue, eye strain and neck strain that can occur from extended use of technology devices.

The spiderArm Musician Adapter is available in white as well as black, later this year. The adapter is easy to install because it threads directly onto an American or Western microphone stand.

“The advantage of the spiderArm mount system over similar models is the ability to completely customize your set-up – critical to today’s iPad DJ or performer,” commented Tim Henderson, inventor of the SpiderArm. “We have been watching the explosive adoption of iPad, along with impressive hardware and software apps and wanted to champion a solution to allow entertainers an easy way to be mobile with these tools with a product that could be set up quickly and without tools, on location – and the Mic Adapter was born. Our musician beta customers are raving about the mount’s ability to decrease muscle strain while using the iPad during shows.”

The full spiderArm system includes two base units; a two-way SurfaceMount that is padded to protect furniture and can be secured to a table or desk, and a three-way VersaMount for securing onto a wall, under a cabinet or near your work station. Much like spiders themselves who can survive in all types of habitats, the SpiderArm system can be used in nearly any environment and the multiple mounts provided in the system means you can move your iPad from room to room – even from home to office – wherever you use your iPad the most.

Additional spiderArm Product Features Include:

• Three modular extension arms with 270 degree joints that freely adjust to any angle and height. These arms help the user to “build” a system using either one, two or three of the arms, resulting in a set up that provides a precise, ergonomic and hands-free viewing experience customized just for them.
• The SpiderArm mount system provides complete versatility that allows the user to place it nearly anywhere and even more so now with the availability of the Quick Release Mounts. The SpiderArm may be used around the home, in your car, in the office, or for commercial and professional uses due to its rugged, polycarbonate construction.
• The secureSnap outer casing allows for a quick attachment of the iPad; the device eases onto the base and is snapped onto the unit at all four corners for a secure fit. This casing is connected to the first and shortest “arm” provided in the system which features a ball joint connection and a 360 degree adjustment knob that provides a secure connection as well as the ability to angle it based on viewing preferences.
• A fashionable yet durable, quality finish in piano-key white color and soft, anodized-finish aluminum tubes. Quick Release Mounts are constructed of a clear Polycarbonate that is durable, yet inconspicuous.
• Under counter mount option keeps iPad safe from harm and away from spills and splashes in the kitchen, in a lab or on your desk.

Tim Henderson is the creator of the patented design behind the SpiderArm. His background in design and production are evident in SpiderArm’s superior construction and functionality. The product has been designed to accommodate the user’s personal lifestyle, and accessories are being introduced rapidly by the company to provide even more mobility of the product.”

SpiderArm Ltd was founded in 2011 with the intent to bring the best-in-design and usability to the iPad accessory market. The company is continuing to research and develop iPad products that provide best in quality, function and innovation for the end user.”
