Product Overview

The STH 100 (007315) is a mechanical masterpiece for stereo imaging. By utilizing detached capsules (AK series), the STH 100 allows for an incredibly small visual footprint while providing the flexibility to set up classic stereo techniques such as XY or ORTF. Its modular design ensures that both capsules are held at a fixed relative distance, providing a stable and phase-coherent stereo image that is essential for professional acoustic recordings.

Product Description

Precision Stereo Alignment:

The STH 100 consists of a horizontal bar equipped with two adjustable capsule holders. These holders are designed to grip the small-diameter capsules of the KM 100 system securely. Because the capsules are detached from the bulky output stages, they can be positioned closer together than standard microphones, allowing for a wider range of coincident and near-coincident stereo arrangements with surgical accuracy.

Integrated Swivel Mechanism:

At the center of the STH 100 is a high-friction swivel joint. This joint allows the entire stereo array to be tilted and rotated as a single unit. Once the perfect angle for a choir, a grand piano, or an orchestral section is found, the knurled locking screw ensures the array remains "rock-solid." This "set-and-forget" reliability is vital during long performances where any shift in the stereo field could compromise the recording.

Low-Profile "Invisible" Design:

In televised performances and professional theater, maintaining a clean line of sight is paramount. The STH 100 features a minimalist silhouette and a non-reflective Matte Black finish. When paired with miniature capsules and thin active cables, the entire stereo setup becomes virtually invisible to the audience and cameras, making it the preferred choice for high-profile broadcast and film sets.

Universal Mounting Compatibility:

The base of the STH 100 features a standard $5/8"$-27 female thread, making it compatible with the majority of professional microphone stands and boom arms. To ensure global versatility, it also includes a high-quality threaded adapter for $3/8"$ and $1/2"$ stands, allowing for seamless integration into international studio environments.
