Product Overview

The SGE 100 (006742) is an essential mechanical interface for the Neumann modular microphone systems. When a capsule is detached from its output stage to reduce visual impact or fit into tight spaces, it requires a dedicated holder that matches its smaller diameter. The SGE 100 provides a firm, slip-free grip on the capsule housing or the connector of an active cable, ensuring that your high-end miniature microphone remains exactly where it is aimed.

Product Description

Precision Aiming for Miniature Capsules:

In professional recording, the angle of the capsule is critical for phase coherence and tonal balance. The SGE 100 features a high-friction swivel joint that allows for smooth, infinite adjustments. Once you find the perfect angle for a violin, a woodwind instrument, or a broadcast speaker, the mount locks securely into place, preventing the capsule from sagging or shifting due to the weight of the connected cable.

Secure and Non-Destructive Grip:

The SGE 100 is precision-machined to fit the small-diameter capsules of the Neumann modular series. The interior of the clamp is lined with high-quality protective material to provide maximum friction without scratching the delicate finish of the microphone components. This secure fit ensures that there is no mechanical "play," which is vital for preventing handling noise in sensitive recording environments.

Discreet "Invisible" Miking:

In televised orchestral performances, theater, or film sets, bulky microphone stands and large shock mounts are often undesirable. The SGE 100 is designed with a minimalist, low-profile silhouette and finished in a non-reflective Matte Black. This allows the microphone setup to blend into the shadows of the stage rigging or instrument hardware, making the technology virtually invisible to the audience and cameras.

Universal Thread Compatibility:

The base of the SGE 100 is equipped with a standard 5/8"-27 female thread, making it compatible with the majority of professional microphone stands and boom arms. It also includes a high-quality threaded adapter for 3/8" and 1/2" stands, providing the flexibility needed for international studio standards and various mounting hardware.
