Product Overview

The STV 4 (006190) is a high-grade mechanical component built for engineers who demand "set-and-forget" reliability. While standard telescoping stands can sometimes slip or vibrate under the weight of premium condenser microphones, the STV 4 provides a rigid, fixed-length extension. Its heavy-duty metal construction ensures that your microphone remains perfectly stationary, preserving the integrity of your phase-aligned stereo pairs or overhead miking configurations.

Product Description

Industrial-Grade Stability:

The STV 4 is precision-machined from high-quality metal, providing the structural strength needed to support heavy large-diaphragm microphones and complex stereo bars. Unlike lightweight aluminum extensions, the STV 4 is designed to minimize mechanical resonance, ensuring that floor vibrations do not travel up the stand and color your 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 4 to be screwed directly onto Neumann floor stands (like the MF series) or combined with other STV extensions to reach custom heights. The threads are machined to tight tolerances, providing a seamless, "rock-solid" connection that won't loosen during long sessions.

Discreet Studio Aesthetic:

Finished in a beautiful, non-reflective Nickel, the STV 4 maintains the professional and timeless look of a world-class recording studio. It is designed to be visually unobtrusive in televised performances and orchestral stages, blending perfectly with the housing of microphones like the U 87 Ai, TLM 170 R, and the KM series.

Versatile Height Adjustment:

At 40 cm in length, the STV 4 is the ideal middle-ground extension for adding that extra bit of reach needed for choir sections, grand piano miking, or drum overheads. Its modular nature means it can be used as a standalone extension or as part of a larger Neumann mounting system, giving you the flexibility to adapt to any acoustic environment.
