The SG 100 (006688) is a vital accessory for sound engineers who require "set-and-forget" reliability. While standard plastic mic clips can slip or vibrate over time, the SG 100 is constructed from high-grade metal to ensure a firm grip on the microphone body. Its compact design makes it ideal for tight spaces, such as drum overheads, acoustic guitar miking, or orchestral "spot" positions where a bulky shock mount might be too intrusive.
Product Description
Precision Swivel Mechanism:
The hallmark of the SG 100 is its high-friction swivel joint. This mechanism allows you to tilt the microphone smoothly to the exact degree required to capture the "sweet spot" of an instrument. Once the knurled side screw is tightened, the mount locks into place with exceptional clamping force, ensuring that the microphone remains perfectly stationary even during long recording sessions or high-energy live performances.
Secure and Protective Grip:
The SG 100 features a precision-fit clamp designed specifically for the 22 mm diameter bodies of the KM series. The interior of the clamp is lined with high-quality protective material to ensure a secure hold without scratching or damaging the microphone's finish. This "snug fit" minimizes mechanical play, providing a stable path for the audio signal.
Discreet Studio Aesthetic:
In televised broadcasts, orchestral stages, or film sets, visibility is a key concern. The SG 100 is finished in a non-reflective Matte Black, allowing it to blend seamlessly into the background. Its low-profile silhouette ensures it stays out of the performer's line of sight and remains unobtrusive on camera.
Universal Thread Compatibility:
The base of the SG 100 is equipped with a standard $5/8"$-27 female thread, making it compatible with almost all professional microphone stands. It also includes a high-quality threaded adapter for $3/8"$ and $1/2"$ stands, providing the versatility needed for international studio standards and various mounting hardware.
