Product Overview

The Neumann IC 6 (Model: 006621) is an elite, specialized microphone cable designed for the most demanding stereo recording and broadcast applications. Spanning 10 meters (approx. 33 feet) and finished in a classic Satin Nickel, this cable features a unique integrated rotatable swivel mount. It is specifically engineered for Neumann’s high-end stereo microphones—most notably the USM 69 i—allowing the microphone to be mounted directly onto the cable for a sleek, low-profile, and highly professional appearance.

Product Description

Integrated Rotatable Swivel Mount: The defining feature of the IC 6 is its built-in swivel mount with a 5/8"-27 thread. This allows you to tilt and rotate your stereo microphone 360 degrees directly at the connection point. It eliminates the need for bulky external clips or heavy shock mounts, providing a clean, "floating" look that is ideal for orchestral stages and minimalist studio setups.

5-Pin Stereo Precision: Designed for multi-channel accuracy, the IC 6 utilizes 5-pin XLR connectors to carry two independent audio channels. This ensures that both capsules of your stereo microphone maintain perfect phase alignment and signal purity without crosstalk or interference between channels.

Elite Signal Integrity: Engineered with extremely low capacitance, the IC 6 ensures that the transient response and high-frequency "air" of your recording reach the preamp without coloration. Even over its 10-meter length, this cable prevents high-frequency roll-off, preserving the legendary "Neumann Sound" in both channels.

Double-Helix Braided Shielding: To guarantee a dead-silent recording, the cable features a sophisticated double-braid copper shield. This high-density construction provides maximum protection against Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI), effectively blocking hum from power lines or wireless devices.

Secure & Professional Connection: The microphone screws directly onto the swivel mount, providing a rock-solid, fail-safe connection. This allows the microphone to be suspended at any angle—including hanging vertically for choir or orchestral "Decca Tree" setups—without any risk of slipping or sagging.
