Product Overview

The Neumann EA 170 (Model: 007271) is a high-performance elastic shock mount specifically engineered for the Neumann TLM 170 (R) and TLM 170 R mt large-diaphragm microphones. Finished in a classic nickel (satin), this mount is an essential professional accessory designed to protect your recordings from low-frequency structure-borne noise. By suspending the microphone in an elastic cradle, the EA 170 ensures that the legendary transparency of the TLM 170 remains untainted by external mechanical vibrations.

Product Description

• Acoustic Isolation for Precision Recording: The TLM 170 is known for its incredibly flat frequency response and neutrality. To maintain this level of detail, the EA 170 uses a sophisticated elastic suspension system that "floats" the microphone. This decoupling effectively blocks rumble from air conditioning, floor vibrations, and accidental stand bumps from reaching the sensitive capsule.

• Integrated Precision Swivel: To facilitate surgical microphone placement, the EA 170 features an integrated swivel mount. This allows the engineer or performer to tilt and rotate the microphone with ease to find the perfect axis for vocals or instruments. A heavy-duty tension screw ensures the microphone remains securely locked in position once the "sweet spot" is found.

• Secure Threaded Attachment: Unlike universal "pinch" mounts, the EA 170 features a dedicated threaded base. The TLM 170 microphone screws directly into the inner cradle, providing a rock-solid mechanical connection. This allows the microphone to be safely used in any orientation, including hanging upside down for traditional "tube-style" vocal tracking.

• Universal Stand Compatibility: The mount is designed to fit seamlessly into any studio worldwide. It features a standard 5/8"-27 female thread and includes a high-quality thread adapter to connect to 1/2" and 3/8" stands. This ensures a perfect fit for both American and European-style boom arms and microphone stands.

• Classic Neumann Aesthetic: Built with premium metal components and finished in a beautiful satin nickel, the EA 170 perfectly matches the high-end build quality of the TLM 170. The inner ring is carefully lined to ensure the microphone's finish is never scratched or marred during installation.

Key Features

• Tailor-Made for TLM 170: Specifically designed for the dimensions and weight of the TLM 170 / TLM 170 R.

Applications

• Orchestral & Classical Recording: Essential for isolating the neutral TLM 170 from stage floor vibrations.
