The Heil PL2T Heil Superior Balance Studio Microphone Boom, The Heil Sound PL2T “Topless” mount is a unique and versatile boom that utilizes a system of perfectly balanced internal springs to provide perfect balance and silent, effortless adjustment of its position. The PL2T easily handles microphones weighing up to 2.5 lb., has a reach of 36″, and makes for a professional-looking installation without adding to the clutter in front of you. The Heil PL-2T features a hollow channel that the microphone cable can be fed through and provides the perfect cable maintenance. The unique “Topless” design of the PL2T allows you to remove the top and back cover plates, so you can thread the microphone cable along the spine of the mount. Once the cable is in place, you snap the cover plates back in place, for a clean installation with no visible wiring. The PL2T is shipped with a standard “C” clamp mount that will accept a 1.5″ thick table. An optional flush mount is available which screws to the top of a table or desk surface. For mounting your Heil Microphone, the PL2T accepts all of the Heil (industry standard) 5/8″ – 27 threaded mic clips or shock mounts. The chrome threaded stem can be locked into the optimum mounting position, depending upon the exact type of microphone and/or shock mount.
