Product Overview

The Neumann EA 1 (Model: 008449) is a premium elastic shock mount specifically designed for Neumann’s world-renowned large-diaphragm microphones, most notably the TLM 103, TLM 193, and M 147 Tube. Finished in a classic, elegant nickel (satin) to match the iconic look of Neumann microphones, the EA 1 is an essential studio tool for protecting your recordings from low-frequency interference and mechanical vibrations.

Product Description

• Elite Mechanical Isolation: The EA 1 features a high-tension elastic suspension system that effectively "floats" the microphone. This decoupling is crucial for high-sensitivity condenser microphones, as it prevents structure-borne noise—such as floor vibrations, footfalls, or nearby traffic rumble—from reaching the capsule and muddying the audio signal.

• Integrated Precision Swivel: To facilitate perfect microphone placement, the EA 1 is equipped with a robust swivel mount. This allows for smooth, 360-degree rotation and precise tilting, enabling you to find the "sweet spot" for vocalists or instruments. A heavy-duty locking screw ensures the microphone remains stable and secure once positioned.

• Aesthetic and Functional Design: The EA 1 is not only built for performance but also to complement the prestige of the Neumann brand. Its high-quality metal frame and classic nickel finish ensure it looks professional on camera and in the studio. The inner cradle is lined with protective material to prevent any scratches or damage to the microphone's finish.

• 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 both American and European microphone stands and boom arms.

• Secure Locking System: The microphone is held firmly by a screw-on base within the inner cradle. This direct-attachment method ensures that the microphone cannot slip out of the mount, even when positioned upside down for "hanging" vocal configurations.
