K-Tek KP6 Mighty Boom 6-Section Graphite Boom Pole (53.3 - 1.83m)
The KP10 Migthy Boompole has a collapsed length of 35″ (88 cm) and an extended length of 10′ (3.05 m) and only weighs 1.5lbs (0.68kg). This 5-section Boompole features a removable headpiece for cable reconfiguration without soldering. The top attachment is a 3/8″ – 16 male thread and the bottom has a removable rubber bumper. Compatible with the KPCK10V cable kit and bottom (KPCCR) module to allow for a coiled cable option with a side XLR exit. Made in the USA.
This boom pole is also available as a CCR (Internally Coiled Cable with a side exit base output) variant. This adds roughly 10cm to the length compared to the uncabled version. See below for a comprehensive comparison chart.
The New K-Tek Klassic Poles offer increased interchangeability with its removable headpiece. Gone are the soldered and sealed poles of the past. Today's redesigned headpiece, after removing a standard sized set screw, simply threads on and off the tube smoothly. The cable of choice can be removed or installed?without soldering. The boompole is readily transformed to un-cabled, coil cabled or with a transmitter at the top or the bottom. There are no more time-consuming transformations and no need to purchase a completely new system just to comply with a cabling change.
K-Tek has designed poles that are more rigid and have a shorter collapsed length that is desired in today's production environment. Mighty Boom?s maintain the original light weight of the tubes, yet the new design features added strength. Also, adding a sixth section and wider tubes increases the stiffness and optimizes handling balance. The result is quicker cuing and more user control of the microphone.
Another new benefit is a change to the locking collars. The traditional K-Tek captive collett has been modified with a thicker yet smoother surface allowing for more subtle, gradual extension of each section. A new anodizing process combined with changing the exterior dimples to oval divets gives a better grip and smoother feel when opening and closing each collar. The finish between the tubes has also been modified so the Mighty Boom sleekly glides open and closed. New Mighty Boom poles are hand-burnished to diffuse handling noise.
Compatible with the KPCK6 cable kit and various Mighty Boom bottom modules (KPCCR, KPTA, KPFT) to to allow for in-field conversion to a cabled boom) pole.
