K-TEK KLASSIC BOOM POLES ®
P O L E S
NEW!
SOFT LOCATION • DOCUMENTARY • STUDIO TOUCH GRIP The original K-Tek Klassic 5-Section Boom Poles combine thoughtful design, top-of-the-line materials and precision engineering. Available in six convenient sizes, the shortest telescopes range from 1' 4" (41cm) to 4' 11" (150cm). The longest extends from only 4' 7 " (140cm) to nearly 21' (640cm).
Superior Construction K-Tek Poles are constructed from high-density graphite selected for maximum strength and minimum weight. Eight layers of dent-proof graphite are precision ground and then burnished to produce a low handling-noise finish.
Advanced Design Telescoping sections are connected with our proprietary locking system. The “captive collet” is held within a collar (there’s nothing floating outside the collar) and with a gentle twist, the collar squeezes the collet to lock the pole in position. The collar is studded with our unique dimple design to offer a pleasant touch and good grip under all conditions, even in extreme temperatures and humidity. Newspole ®
K-CCR (XLR Side Exit)
Outstanding Versatility The bottom coupling allows boom operators to attach a variety of accessories. The pole is available uncabled with our proprietory mushroom base or cabled with an internal coil cable with a bottom or side connector (CC or CCR). A stereo coiled cable is available with the same accessories. Our Transmitter adapter can be attached for wireless microphone adapters. For straight internal cabling, a “flow-through” base is available (FT or FTS).
K-Tek NEWSPOLE ® For ENG/EFP Production The K-Tek Newspole is the only professional boom pole designed specifically to meet the needs of the ENG user. Comes with a foam grip.

NEW! K-TEK ARTICULATED SOFT TOUCH BOOM POLES GRIP ®
The introduction of the K-Tek Klassic revolutionized the way that boom poles were made. The K-Tek Articulated Poles are revolutionizing the way that Boom Poles are used!
Expansive Reach The KA –113 has four telescoping sections before the joint and two more after, providing a reach of nearly nine and one half feet (287 cm). Five positive locking positions provide articulation at 90, 112.5, 135, 157.5 or 180 degrees. This allows the microphone to be placed at, under or over the subject or over obstructions.
Single-Handed Operation K-Tek’s patented articulated design allows the operator to comfortably hold the pole with one hand with the mushroom base at the belt line, freeing one hand to operate the mixer. The pole goes up, over, and back down to accurately position the microphone while staying outside of the frame line. Or invert the pole and the articulation allows you to go under and back up to position the microphone. A simple two-person interview can be done with the mushroom base on the floor (or operator’s toe) and the articulated section positioned over the talent. Rotating the pole moves the microphone.

Quick, Hassle-Free Changes
Maximum Length and Stability
K-Tek Quick Connect 4 and 5 Section Stage Poles are built for easy set-up. Each model comes standard with a removable Quick Connect pole top with a stainless steel 3/8-16 thread, cable slots and a short spud that can live at the base of any shock mount, (allowing for fast microphone changes.)
Five sections in a pole provide a good compromise in the extended-length/collapsed-length ratio. But if collapsed length is not an issue — for example, on a large sound stage, or on location with a production that uses a two or three man crew — a four-section pole can offer significant advantages. The base section can be very long, providing a large unobstructed handling area. Plus, there is less chance of movement in the couplings because there are fewer of them.
Drop-Through Cabling Designed for fast drop-through cabling, even the smallest graphite section has a wide enough interior diameter to accept an XLR connector, so wiring in the field is easy. A cabled pole can be uncabled or an uncabled pole can be cabled in a moment. An operator can switch to a stereo cable simply by dropping the cable through and replacing it. If a straight cable is needed then add a “flow-through” base and drop the cable through.The bottom can be fit with any Klassic pole base units: see page 6.

K-CCR Base unit with Right Angle XLR for Internal Coiled Cable The K-CCR is a 3" base where the XLR comes out the side and the mushroom base attaches to the end. With longer poles, this allows the operator to rest the pole on its base between takes without damaging the wiring. K-CCR
Model K-CCR
K-FT
When running a straight cable inside a boom pole, a method is needed to allow the cable to lengthen in the pole while it is being extended and to flow out of the pole while it is being collapsed without binding. The K-FT Flow-through Base has a slot four inches long to allow long cables to flow smoothly. It can be used with the K-202 and K-251 Klassic poles and may be compatible with the K-152. We also offer the “Stubby” Flow-through Base (K-FTS) with a slot only 1-3/4" long. It is designed for use with the K-56 and K-102 Klassic poles and is adequate for work with the K-152 when it is desirable to keep the overall length to a minimum.

K-Tek Microphone Quick Connect System
K-Tek “HODGES Effect” Brass Weight Boom Pole manufacturers have been striving to make their products as light as possible. Generally, they have achieved a great weight reduction using carbon composite and exotic alloys. The boom operators ask … “Why is my rig so heavy when I use the new lightweight boom poles?” The entire pole, microphone, mount and cable assembly might be only four pounds but it feels like more. What the operator feels as weight is, of course, the downward movement of force of the microphone and mount at the far end of a long pole. This force can be considerable.
The K-Tek microphone Quick Connect system is designed to attach to any device using a 3/8-16 thread. The K-QC quick connect unit attaches to the 3/8" stud on the end of a boom pole and is locked on with a 3/8" nut for security. The K-QC consists of the attaching section with its locknut, a dimpled K-QS collar with its collet and one 3/8" mounting spud for a microphone.
K-QC
Each microphone support is fitted with a spud that plugs into the K-QC. These spuds are packaged in sets of three units. To get a little bit of extra reach, we also offer the K-QSL, a two-inch extension spud.

If one could hold the pole at or near its center of balance, it would be very easy to hold and maneuver. With the left hand as the pivot point at the balance point, the right hand can guide the microphone to its desired position effortlessly. Unfortunately, at the balance point, over half of the pole is sticking out behind. This problem is solved by the HODGES Effect Brass Weights. M. Klemme Technology Corp. manufactures finely machined brass weights that attach to the base of the K-Tek microphone boom poles. These brass weights, in 750 gram units, can be attached in combination to move the balance point of the pole/mic assembly back to a comfortable and practical point. The ideal balance point to achieve the maximum reduction in fatigue and the most precise control of the mic position is just forward of the natural position of the pole pivot on the left hand. (This is assuming normal “pivot on the left/control Hodges Effect Brass Weight with the right” booming). With the HODGES Effect, the total weight of the system is increased, but feels as though a great weight has been removed.

K-TEK WINDSCREENS ®
From the makers of K-Tek® professional boom poles, this unique range of windscreens offers effective solutions for wind noise reduction and microphone protection at affordable prices. Zeppelin®no cover
Zeppelin ® Windscreens The Zeppelin® from K-Tek is a practical, user-friendly method for getting maximum shielding from wind exposure during location recording. The Zeppelin system consists of an injection-molded (polypropylene microphone cage, 2 rubber retaining rings) with removable sonic foam end caps, XLR pig tail, and a snug-fitting faux fur HighWind cover. We offer it in four standard sizes. The microphone is supported by K-Tek's popular K-Mount (K-MT) or Short K-Mount (K-MTS) which can accommodate microphones from 19-25mm in diameter. The modular Zeppelin assembles and dismantles quickly and effortlessly for compact storage and travel. Options include a fleece cover and a hefty hand grip for handheld work away from a boom pole.

A thread in the base of the handle allows a boom pole to be attached. The rubber handle can be easily removed and the microphone cable threaded through the handle. The microphone is simply inserted into the back of the Soft-Zepp US.

I've been using K-Tek poles on films all over the world for 10 years now and won't use anything else. They are quite simply the best.
