Product Overview

The SG 2 (008636) is a heavy-duty mechanical interface between your Neumann microphone and a standard microphone stand. While elastic "spider" mounts are used to decouple microphones from floor vibrations, the SG 2 is a "hard" mount designed for maximum security and longevity. Its compact, all-metal frame is specifically engineered to handle the weight of Neumann’s professional microphones, ensuring they remain perfectly balanced and stationary during critical recording sessions.

Product Description

Industrial-Grade Metal Construction:

Unlike plastic or composite clips that can fatigue or snap over time, the SG 2 is precision-machined from high-quality metal. This ensures that the threads remain sharp and the clamping force remains consistent, even after years of daily studio use. The rugged build makes it an excellent choice for traveling engineers and touring rigs where gear is subjected to constant setup and teardown.

Precision Swivel & Tilt:

The SG 2 features a large-diameter swivel joint with a high-friction locking mechanism. This allows for smooth, incremental tilting of the microphone to achieve the perfect on-axis or off-axis response. Once the side-mounted knurled screw is tightened, the mount locks into place with exceptional force, preventing "mic droop" even when using heavy, high-end XLR cables.

Compact and Discreet Profile:

In many recording scenarios—such as close-miking acoustic guitars, grand pianos, or brass sections—a large shock mount can be physically intrusive or block the performer's line of sight. The SG 2 offers a low-profile alternative, allowing the microphone to be placed in tight spaces where every centimeter counts. Its classic Nickel finish perfectly matches the iconic housing of Neumann's legendary microphones.

Universal Compatibility:

The base of the SG 2 is equipped with a standard $5/8"$-27 female thread, making it compatible with almost all professional microphone stands and boom arms worldwide. It also includes a high-quality threaded adapter for $3/8"$ and $1/2"$ stands, ensuring it can be used seamlessly in international studios and diverse venue environments.
