Product Overview
The Neumann EA 4 bk (Model: 008642) is a professional elastic shock mount finished in a sleek Matte Black (bk). Specifically designed for Neumann’s modern large-diaphragm microphones, it is the dedicated companion for the TLM 102 and TLM 107, while also being fully compatible with the TLM 103. The EA 4 bk is essential for any studio or broadcast environment, providing a "floating" suspension that protects your recordings from low-frequency rumble and mechanical interference.
Product Description
High-Performance Acoustic Decoupling: The EA 4 bk utilizes a robust elastic suspension system to decouple the microphone from the stand. This significantly reduces the transmission of structure-borne noise, such as footsteps, HVAC hum, or desk-borne vibrations. By isolating the microphone, it ensures that only the intended sound reaches the capsule, preserving the high-end clarity Neumann is known for.
Integrated Precision Swivel: To facilitate surgical microphone placement, the EA 4 bk includes a high-quality swivel mount. This allows the user to tilt and angle the microphone with ease, making it perfect for capturing a variety of sound sources—from intimate vocals to loud guitar cabinets. A sturdy locking thumb-screw ensures the microphone stays exactly where you set it.
Stealth Matte Black Finish: The "bk" version is finished in a durable, non-reflective matte black. This is the preferred aesthetic for modern studios, streamers, and video producers, as it minimizes light reflections on camera and maintains a low profile in professional broadcast setups.
Secure Threaded Attachment: Unlike universal "pinch" or friction mounts, the EA 4 bk features a secure threaded base. The microphone is placed into the mount and screwed directly into the inner cradle, providing a rock-solid connection. This allows for safe usage in any orientation, including hanging the microphone upside down.
Universal Stand Compatibility: Designed to fit into any studio worldwide, the EA 4 bk features a 5/8"-27 female thread. It also comes included with a high-quality thread adapter for 1/2" and 3/8" stands, ensuring it is ready for use on both American and European-style stands and boom arms.
