Home / Neumann 008610 Capsule Extension KVG 1120 nx Capsule extension that allows to use the KK ... capsules separated from the output stage.
The KVG 1120 nx is a critical component of the Neumann Open Series modular system. It serves as an "acoustic bridge," carrying the delicate signal from the capsule head down to the output stage located at the base. By separating the capsule from the electronics, the KVG 1120 nx allows for a sleek, minimalist aesthetic without sacrificing the legendary Neumann audio performance. This extension is particularly valued in television studios and concert halls for its ability to provide high-fidelity sound with zero visual clutter.
Sleek, Minimalist Integration:
In modern broadcasting and high-end live recording, gear should be heard but not seen. The KVG 1120 nx features an incredibly thin diameter (only 8 mm), allowing it to blend into the background of a stage or studio. When paired with a KK capsule (like the KK 184), it creates a sophisticated, "pencil-thin" microphone profile that looks elegant on camera and doesn't block the view of a soloist or conductor.
Precision Signal Transmission:
Despite its length, the KVG 1120 nx is engineered to maintain absolute signal purity. It uses high-grade internal shielding to protect the high-impedance capsule signal from Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). This ensures that the transient response and low-noise floor of your KM A or KM D system remain uncompromised over the full 120 cm span.
Flexible Positioning:
The KVG 1120 nx features a flexible swivel joint at the capsule end, allowing for a $110^{\circ}$ tilting range. This allows engineers to perfectly angle the capsule toward the sound source while keeping the extension rod perfectly vertical or horizontal. It mounts easily onto standard microphone stands using the included stand mount or specialized Neumann accessories.
Nextel Black "Invisible" Finish:
The "nx" designation signifies Neumann’s specialized Nextel Black coating. This finish is deeply matte and non-reflective, ensuring that the extension rod does not catch glares from intense studio lighting or stage spots. It is also scratch-resistant and provides a professional, high-end tactile feel.
120 cm Extension: Provides significant reach for "invisible" miking techniques.
Modular Compatibility: Works with all KK series capsules and KM A/KM D output stages.
Non-Reflective Nextel Finish: Ideal for TV, film, and theater applications.
Integrated Swivel Joint: Allows the capsule to tilt up to $110^{\circ}$ for precise positioning.
Ultra-Slim Profile: Only 8 mm in diameter for minimal visual impact.
Premium Shielding: Ensures noise-free signal transmission from capsule to base.
Television & Film: Perfect for talk shows or musical guests where a bulky mic would be distracting.
Orchestral Spot Miking: Ideal for miking woodwinds or strings from above in a visually discreet way.
Theater Sound: Use on-stage where the microphone needs to be "hidden" in plain sight.
Lecterns & Podiums: Provides a sleek, high-end look for prestigious public speaking events.
