Product Overview

The SG 110 nx (008611) is a "mechanical bridge" that adds a new dimension of movement to the Neumann modular series. In standard setups, the capsule and output stage are a fixed, straight line. By inserting the SG 110 nx, you gain a high-tension swivel point that allows the capsule to be aimed at the sound source while the output stage and XLR cable remain at a different angle. This is particularly useful when using long extension tubes or when miking instruments where space is extremely limited.

Product Description

Surgical Precision in Aiming:

The hallmark of the SG 110 nx is its high-friction swivel joint. It allows for a wide range of tilting (swiveling), enabling you to find the exact "sweet spot" of an instrument. Because the joint is built to Neumann's exacting standards, it holds its position firmly once set, ensuring that the capsule doesn't sag even during long sessions or in high-vibration environments like a drum riser.

Modular System Integration:

The SG 110 nx is fully compatible with the KK 1... series capsules (such as the KK 184, KK 183, etc.) and both the KM A analog and KM D digital output stages. It maintains full electrical connectivity for the signal and phantom power through the swivel mechanism, ensuring zero loss in audio quality or dynamic range. It is essentially an "active" mechanical link that preserves the legendary Neumann transparency.

Discreet NEXTEL (nx) Finish:

The "nx" in the model name refers to Neumann's specialized NEXTEL coating. This finish is non-reflective and scratch-resistant, making the SG 110 nx virtually invisible under stage lights or studio cameras. This is ideal for orchestral spot-miking, televised musical performances, and theater where the audience’s focus should remain on the performer, not the equipment.

Enhanced Mounting Flexibility:

When used in combination with extension tubes (like the KVF series) or floor stands, the SG 110 nx allows the microphone body to remain vertical while the capsule is tilted toward the sound source. This creates a much cleaner visual profile and allows for more creative microphone placements that would be impossible with a standard fixed-head microphone.
