Product Overview
The STV 40 (006188) is a high-grade mechanical accessory built for "set-and-forget" reliability in professional environments. While standard telescoping stands can lose tension over time, the STV 40 provides a fixed-length, rigid extension that ensures your microphone remains perfectly stationary. Its heavy-duty metal construction is designed to support the weight of premium large-diaphragm microphones and complex stereo arrays without sagging or vibrating.
Product Description
Industrial-Grade Stability:
The STV 40 is precision-machined from high-quality metal, providing the necessary strength to support heavy microphones like the U 87 Ai or TLM series. Unlike lightweight consumer extensions, the STV 40 is engineered to minimize mechanical resonance, ensuring that floor vibrations are not transmitted up to the microphone capsule, resulting in a cleaner, more focused recording.
Precision Threaded Connectors:
The extension is equipped with a 1/2" male thread at the top and a 1/2" female thread at the base. This allows the STV 40 to be screwed directly onto Neumann floor stands (such as the MF series) or combined with other STV extensions to reach custom heights. The threads are machined to extremely tight tolerances, providing a seamless, "rock-solid" connection that won't loosen during long sessions or high-energy performances.
Discreet, Non-Reflective Finish:
Finished in a professional Matte Black, the STV 40 is designed to be as unobtrusive as possible. Its non-reflective surface is ideal for televised performances, orchestral stages, and film sets where equipment must blend into the background. The black finish perfectly matches the "dark" or "black" versions of Neumann’s legendary microphone housings.
Versatile Height Adjustment:
At 40 cm in length, the STV 40 offers a substantial height boost, making it perfect for capturing the overhead "air" of a drum kit, the natural bloom of a grand piano, or the collective sound of a choir. Its modular design allows it to be used as a standalone extension or stacked with other Neumann hardware for tailored miking solutions.
