Product Overview

The MF 5 (008489) represents the pinnacle of Neumann's stand design, offering a step up in both aesthetics and functionality. Its signature gray "soft-touch" finish is not only visually striking but also highly resistant to the wear and tear of daily studio use. At 250 mm in diameter, the base provides a wide, secure footprint that can support heavy large-diaphragm condensers and complex shock mount configurations without wobbling.

Product Description

Premium Soft-Touch Finish:

The MF 5 is finished with a specialized gray soft-touch powder coating. This unique surface treatment provides a sleek, modern look that complements high-end studio environments. The coating is designed to be tactile and durable, resisting fingerprints and minor scuffs while maintaining a professional, non-reflective appearance under studio lights.

Optimized Acoustic Isolation:

To ensure your recordings are free from structure-borne noise, the MF 5 features an integrated non-skid, sound-absorbing rubber disk on the bottom of its 2.7 kg base. This thick rubber layer serves a dual purpose: it grips the floor to prevent the stand from sliding and acts as a mechanical filter to decouple the microphone from floor vibrations, footsteps, or low-frequency rumble.

Exceptional Stability:

With a total weight of 2.7 kg (approx. 5.9 lb) and a solid round base, the MF 5 offers superior stability compared to standard tripod stands. Its low center of gravity makes it an ideal choice for mounting valuable Neumann microphones, such as the U 87 Ai or TLM series, providing peace of mind during critical recording sessions or live broadcasts.

Universal Connectivity:

The stand connection features a standard $3/8"$ thread, making it compatible with a vast array of microphone clips, swivel mounts (SG series), and elastic shock mounts (EA series). Its adaptable nature allows it to be used as a standalone floor base or integrated with various upright poles and extensions to suit your specific height requirements.
