Quick, Hassle-Free Changes
K-Tek Quick Connect 4 and 5 Section Stage Poles are built for easy set-up. Each model comes standard with the industry's first 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.)
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.
Maximum Length and Stability
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.
