The knurled version of the 3/8″ female to 5/8″ male thread adaptor, converting a European stand thread so that 5/8″ US-threaded mic clips and shockmounts will fit. The knurled external ring lets you fit and remove it by hand, no coin or screwdriver needed, which makes it the practical choice if you swap between clip types regularly.

Note
This is the knurled version. If you want the adaptor to sit flush and out of sight, STAN81 is the same 3/8″ to 5/8″ conversion in an internal coin-slot design. For the opposite conversion, 5/8″ female to 3/8″ male, order STAN82.
