YELLOWTEC m!ka MIC ARMS

m!ka Mic Arm

m!ka microphone arms are internally wired as standard, and use an elegant, single-tube design with articulated joints and internal springs, which may be adjusted with one hand. Two different reaches are offered, along with option of two finishes, black and natural aluminium. The microphone arms support microphones up to 2kg and can be mounted directly to surfaces using either a flush bracket or G-clamp, or raised higher by using the support pole.

Versions with OnAir LED incorporate a dual colour red/white LED ring adjacent to the microphone clamp to enable a 'mic live' or 'on air' indication to be given to the presenter. The colour can be toggled by reversing the polarity of the drive voltage. The arm is internally wired with a combination cable, a screened pair plus control pair in overall jacket, and requires 12-24V DC for operation. An OnAir version of the XS Mic Arm (535mm) is also available for those requiring a lesser reach.

m!ka Mic Arms are available with unterminated cable or fitted with XLR connectors. Note: Terminated versions without OnAir LED are terminated with 3-pin female XLR at the top and a 3-pin male XLR at the base, whereas terminated versions of those Mic Arms with OnAir LED are terminated with a 3-pin female XLR at the top and a 5-pin male XLR at the base.
