An apparatus for mounting a microphone in proximity of a sound source, comprising: a first pair of jaws configured to attach to a clamping surface proximate the sound source; a jaw stud connecting the first pair of jaws, the jaw stud having a threaded portion; a release mechanism coupled to the jaw stud, wherein while the release mechanism is depressed, a first jaw of the first pair is free to slide along the jaw stud to open or close the first pair of jaws, wherein while the release mechanism is not depressed, the release mechanism engages the threaded portion of the jaw stud, thereby allowing the first pair of jaws to tighten on the clamping surface when the jaw stud is turned along the threaded portion in a first direction; a microphone clamp configured to hold a microphone mounting accessory associated with the microphone; a jaw frame comprising a second jaw of the first pair of jaws, the jaw frame having an elongated slot therein; and a clamp bolt passing through the slot and the microphone clamp to secure the microphone clamp to the jaw frame.
