Product Overview

The Neumann EA 89 A mt (Model: 007196) is a high-end, professional "spider" shock mount finished in a sleek Matte Black (mt). Specifically designed for Neumann’s larger, multi-pattern microphones—most notably the U 89 i and the TLM 170 R—this mount provides elite-level mechanical isolation. By suspending the microphone in a specialized elastic cradle, the EA 89 A mt ensures that your recordings remain free from low-frequency structure-borne noise and mechanical vibrations.

Product Description

• Elite Mechanical Isolation: The U 89 i and TLM 170 R are precision instruments designed to capture the widest dynamic range possible. However, their high sensitivity makes them prone to picking up unwanted "thumps" from footsteps, floor rumble, or nearby HVAC systems. The EA 89 A mt uses a heavy-duty elastic suspension system to "float" the microphone, creating an effective acoustic barrier that keeps your signal path pristine.

• Integrated Precision Swivel: To facilitate surgical microphone placement, the EA 89 A mt features a robust swivel mount. This allows the user to tilt and rotate the microphone with precision to find the perfect axis for orchestral soloists, vocalists, or acoustic instruments. A large, ergonomic locking screw ensures the microphone remains stable and secure once positioned.

• Stealth Matte Black Finish: The "mt" designation indicates a durable, non-reflective matte black finish. This is the preferred aesthetic for modern broadcast studios, film sets, and live streaming environments, as it eliminates unwanted light glares and stays visually low-profile on camera.

• Secure Threaded Locking System: Unlike universal "pinch" mounts, the EA 89 A mt features a dedicated threaded base. The microphone is set into the inner cage and screwed directly onto the mount. This provides a rock-solid, fail-safe connection, allowing the microphone to be safely used in any orientation, including hanging upside down for traditional "tube-style" studio setups.

• Universal Stand Compatibility: Designed for global studio standards, the mount features a 5/8"-27 female thread. It also includes a high-quality thread adapter for 1/2" and 3/8" stands, making it compatible with almost any professional microphone stand or boom arm in existence.
