Product Overview

The MF 3 (007321) is the more robust counterpart to the MF 2, trading the brass construction for a significantly heavier gray cast iron base. This added mass (1.6 kg) provides a very low center of gravity, making it nearly impossible to tip over, even when using extended shock mounts or heavy pop filters. It is specifically designed to blend into professional environments with its non-reflective finish and compact, space-saving footprint.

Product Description

Ultimate Stability with Cast Iron Core:

The defining feature of the MF 3 is its 1.6 kg iron base. This weight ensures that your high-value microphone remains perfectly stationary on your desk. Whether you are using a TLM series or a heavy U 87 AI, the MF 3 provides the counterweight necessary to prevent wobbling, ensuring your mic stays at the exact height and angle you've set for your session.

Integrated Noise Suppression:

Professional recordings can be ruined by "structure-borne noise"—the sound of a hand hitting the desk or a computer fan vibrating through the furniture. The MF 3 tackles this with a thick non-slip rubber disk attached to the bottom. Furthermore, many versions feature a rubber shock mount integrated between the mounting stud and the base, providing an extra layer of mechanical decoupling to ensure your audio remains clean and vibration-free.

Versatile Mounting & Threading:

The MF 3 is designed to be compatible with almost any microphone hardware. It comes equipped with a reversible stud and a thread adapter, allowing it to support both $1/2"$ and $3/8"$ threads. This means you can easily attach Neumann swivel mounts (SG series), stand extensions (STV series), or full elastic shock mounts (EA series) without needing additional third-party adapters.

Discreet Studio Aesthetic:

Like all Neumann professional accessories, the MF 3 features a Black Matte finish. This non-reflective coating is essential for video-heavy environments such as televised broadcasts, YouTube studios, or live-streamed interviews, as it prevents distracting light glares and keeps the focus on the talent.
