Table Mounting of CCM Compact Microphones
CCMコンパクトマイク用テーブルマウントツール
Notes
A good speaker's desk, or a table on which microphones are to be set up, calls either for a rather heavyweight construction or for a perforated metal surface to be used. A heavy tabletop will not flex much; a perforated surface on the other hand will radiate and reflect less sound energy than one which is flat and solid.
It is not always necessary to use several directional microphones (e.g. cardioids) when recording roundtable discussions. A single boundary-layer microphone such as the BLM 03 Cg, concealed perhaps beneath a thin covering cloth, can be placed at the center of the table, solving the problem in elegant fashion. This type of microphone is also significantly less sensitive to solid-borne noise than an ordinary directional type such as a cardioid. Even if monitor loudspeakers are nearby, the risk of feedback is less than might be expected since the boundary-layer effect discriminates in favor of direct sound. In addition, by using one boundary-layer microphone instead of several conventional microphones, the risk of phase cancellation is greatly reduced. 
RL
The photo at right shows a 350 mm tube and a 100 mm STR support rod. If greater extension is required for either part of the setup, two AF 1 adapters should be mounted one above the other with the threaded adapter ST 20 M. That approach would also be recommended if the support rod must be tilted at a 45° angle or greater.

Also for Modular Microphones a corresponding setup is available.
Microphone Tube with two Swivels
RLG 350 Ug
- elegant table tube for CCM-L
- swivel joints at both ends of the tube
- tube length: 350 mm

Special versions (e.g. with permanently attached output cable) are available on request.

RLG 350Ug microphone tube
1 or 2× AF 1 flanged mounting adapter
Gooseneck with Cable
S 250 L5Ug
- length: 250 mm
- permanently attached cable, 5 m long
- with 3/8" internal thread
- output connector: XLR-3M
The cable can be brought out from the side of the gooseneck or, after resoldering the connector, from the center of the gooseneck on through the AF 1 (unit is delivered with cable exiting from the side).

Also for Modular Microphones a corresponding setup is available.
Gooseneck with XLR-3M
S 250 LUgLike S 250 L5Ug, but with an XLR-3M plug at the bottom end instead of the cable.
CCM...L Compact Microphone

Gooseneck
S 420 L5Ug
- special long (420 mm) gooseneck
- for use with any microphone of the CCM-L series
- output connector: XLR-3M
This gooseneck has a socket which accepts the active part of a CCM-L microphone. The upper and middle regions of the gooseneck are flexible, while the lower part (120 mm) is constructed as a rigid tube, in order to give sufficient stability despite the narrow diameter.
Cable path: as with the S 250 L5Ug (see above)

Twin Table Microphone
C2 CCM 4 UgThis table microphone consists of two CCM 4 Compact Microphones (cardioids) rigidly attached to one another and facing in the same direction. They can be tilted forward or backward together. The second channel serves as a fail-safe backup. Technical specifications.
Output connector: XLR-5M
