The thought process was hanging mics like I have to for Symphony orchestras...

There is a standard 5/8"-27 thread on a stud. The cable goes in the trough and is clamped down. The hole is for the 2nd cable to tie it back (allows for easy tie or a clip). That way when you are moving the microphone forwards and backwards the angle of the mic stays the same.

When I hang in an auditorium, the mic is suspended by 2 wires- one is the microphone cable that goes up into the fly gallery and attaches to my snake. The other is a piece of monofilimant or string that is tied either to the back of the stage or a balcony (depends on the room). With this mount even extreme angles are an easy hang...
