Product Overview

The SG 289 (008659) is a high-strength mechanical interface designed to handle the weight and physical profile of Neumann’s professional studio microphones. While elastic shock mounts are used to decouple vibrations, the SG 289 is a "hard" mount favored for its compact footprint and permanent reliability. Its precision-machined metal frame is built to last a lifetime, providing the rigid support required for world-class recording and broadcast facilities.

Product Description

Industrial-Grade Metal Build:

Constructed entirely from high-grade metal, the SG 289 is designed to survive the rigors of daily studio use. Unlike plastic clips that can fatigue or snap, this mount maintains its clamping force and thread integrity over decades. The rugged design makes it an excellent choice for permanent installations in broadcast booths or for traveling engineers who require a more compact mounting solution than a large spider-style shock mount.

Precision Swivel & Tilt Mechanism:

The SG 289 is equipped with a large-diameter swivel joint featuring a high-friction locking system. This allows for smooth, incremental tilting, enabling you to find the exact "sweet spot" for a vocalist or instrument. Once the side-mounted knurled screw is tightened, the mount locks with exceptional force, preventing any "mic droop"—even when using heavy, high-end 7-pin or XLR cables.

Discreet, Low-Profile Silhouette:

In many recording scenarios—such as close-miking acoustic guitars, grand pianos, or brass sections—a bulky shock mount can be physically intrusive or block a performer's line of sight. The SG 289 offers a minimalist profile, allowing for tight microphone placement where space is limited. Its professional Matte Black finish ensures it remains unobtrusive on camera and blends seamlessly into modern studio environments.

Universal Thread Compatibility:

The base of the SG 289 comes 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 across international studio standards and various venue environments.
