K&M Stands 19695 Universal Joint

Universal Joint Adapter for Flexible Equipment Positioning
The K&M 19695.216.55 Universal Joint is a compact yet highly versatile adapter designed to give users full control over positioning audio and recording gear. Built with a 5/8" female thread and a 1/4" male thread, this joint can be attached to nearly any standard mic stand and used to mount microphones, handheld recorders, cameras, or similar devices requiring fine positioning. Its flexible articulation and compact footprint make it essential for studio, field, and live use.

Provides Extended Movement and Mounting Flexibility
Engineered for maximum maneuverability, this joint allows users to tilt, pivot, and lock their gear at custom angles. Whether you're capturing overhead dialogue, aiming a handheld recorder at a sound source, or fine-tuning the angle of a lightweight mic, this adapter provides far more adjustment freedom than fixed mounts or static brackets.

Compatible with Microphone Stands and Accessories
The joint features a standard 5/8" female thread on one side, making it fully compatible with most microphone stands, boom arms, and clamps. The 1/4" male thread on the other end fits a wide array of audio and video accessories, including field recorders, shock mounts, LED lights, and compact action cameras. This makes it a universal solution for integrating gear into any setup.

Durable Steel Housing for Long-Term Reliability
Built from steel and finished in black, the 19695.216.55 is designed to handle daily use in both studio and on-location environments. Its compact size (1.14" diameter, 2.36" length) and low weight of just 0.287 lbs make it easy to carry in a gear bag or mount without stressing your rig.

Ideal for Audio Engineers, Podcasters, and Field Recordists
This universal joint is an ideal tool for those who need precise, stable equipment positioning. Whether you're rigging a stereo field recorder above a drum kit or pointing a mic at a guitar amp, this adapter helps you lock the gear exactly where it’s needed without sagging or slippage.

Streamlines Gear Setup Across Audio and Video Applications
Instead of using multiple adapters or makeshift solutions, this joint provides an all-in-one solution for connecting and positioning accessories. Its sleek design and strong hold allow for clutter-free rigs, helping professionals maintain clean, organized setups even in tight or mobile environments.

Reliable Adjustability in a Compact Package
Despite its small size, the K&M universal joint provides strong, consistent tension across movements, keeping devices in place once positioned. The joint’s responsiveness and locking capability make it ideal for tasks where precision and stability are both required.
