About This Item
For professional audio technicians and boom operators seeking a reliable and versatile tool for film and video production, the K-Tek KP12CCR KlassicPro Boom Pole stands out as an exceptional choice. This 6-section graphite fiber boom pole boasts a durable and lightweight design, with a collapsed length of 41.5 inches (105 cm) and an extendable reach of up to 9 feet (3.75 m), while weighing in at a mere 2.5 lbs (1.13 kg).Crafted for high-quality audio capture, the KP12CCR features a removable headpiece that allows for quick and easy cable reconfiguration without the need for soldering. The top attachment is equipped with a 3/8" - 16 male thread, compatible with a wide range of microphones and accessories. Included with the boom pole is a coiled cable with a KlassicPro Right Angle connector (KPCK12) and a male 3-pin XLR side exit (KPCCR), enhancing its adaptability for various audio setups.The innovative design of the KlassicPro series introduces increased interchangeability, thanks to the redesigned headpiece that threads on and off the tube effortlessly after removing a standard-sized set screw. This feature allows users to switch between un-cabled, coil cabled, or transmitter configurations at either the top or bottom of the pole without time-consuming transformations or the need to invest in a new system for different cabling requirements.K-Tek's commitment to quality is evident in the higher-grade coil cable, which boasts thicker gauge wiring and aluminum shielding for superior strength and protection against radio frequency (RF) interference. The KlassicPro Right Angle Connector, based on the popular Neutrik design, is compact, lightweight, and serviceable, with a solid strain relief for enhanced durability. The orientation of the connector can be easily adjusted to suit user preference by unthreading its housing, rotating, and re-securing it into position.The KP12CCR's rigidity is enhanced by the addition of a sixth section and wider tubes, resulting in increased stiffness and optimal handling balance. This translates to quicker cuing and greater control over microphone placement. The redesigned locking collars feature a thicker, smoother surface for a more refined and gradual extension of each section. The new anodizing process and transition from exterior dimples to oval divots provide a better grip and a smoother feel when adjusting the pole's length.Each KlassicPro pole is meticulously hand-burnished to minimize handling noise, ensuring that the KP12CCR delivers not only in terms of functionality and durability but also in producing clear, uninterrupted audio. This professional-grade boom pole is an indispensable asset for any audio professional looking to capture pristine sound with ease and precision.
