Product Overview

The SG 21 bk (008613) is engineered for sound engineers who need a lightweight yet robust mounting interface. Unlike all-metal clamps that can sometimes be overly rigid, the high-quality plastic clamp of the SG 21 bk offers a degree of natural compliance that makes it easy to snap the microphone in and out while maintaining a "rock-solid" hold once seated. Its compact swivel joint allows for precise vertical angling, making it the perfect choice for instrument spot-miking.
 

Product Description

Surgical Precision in Positioning:

The SG 21 bk is equipped with a high-friction swivel joint that allows for smooth, infinite vertical tilting. This is critical when capturing the "sweet spot" of an acoustic guitar, woodwind instrument, or drum kit. Once the side-mounted knurled screw is tightened, the joint locks firmly, ensuring that the microphone stays exactly where you placed it, even when using heavy, high-quality XLR cables.

Gentle yet Secure Plastic Clamp:

The standout feature of this mount is its 22 mm plastic clamp. This material was specifically chosen to provide a secure grip while protecting the delicate finish of your Neumann microphone. It allows for a quick "snap-in" action that is ideal for fast-paced stage setups or broadcast environments where time is of the essence. The clamp is engineered to resist fatigue, maintaining its tension over years of professional use.

Discreet, Low-Profile Design:

In televised performances, orchestral recordings, or film sets, the visibility of audio gear should be minimized. The SG 21 bk features a minimalist silhouette and a non-reflective Black (bk) finish. This allows the mount to blend into the shadows of the rigging or the instrument's hardware, ensuring the audience focuses on the music rather than the technology.

Universal Thread Compatibility:

The base of the SG 21 bk comes with a standard 5/8"-27 female thread, making it compatible with the vast majority of microphone stands and boom arms. To ensure global versatility, it also includes a high-quality threaded adapter for 3/8" and 1/2" stands, allowing it to be used in international studios and diverse venue environments without extra hardware.
