Sound Devices A20-HH Counterweight 30

Stabilize Heavier Capsules with Balanced Handling
The Sound Devices A20-HH Counterweight-30 is a precision-engineered 30-gram internal weight designed specifically for use with the A20-HH digital wireless handheld microphone. When you're using heavier microphone capsules, particularly large-diaphragm or premium touring models, the mic can become top-heavy. This counterweight installs discreetly inside the A20-HH’s base, adjusting the center of gravity to ensure more natural, stable handling for vocalists and presenters.

Improved Feel for Live Performance and Broadcast
Top-heavy microphones can feel awkward during long sessions, increasing the risk of handling noise or fatigue. The A20-HH Counterweight-30 helps distribute the mic's weight more evenly, making it easier to hold steadily and comfortably. Whether you're a live performer on stage, a broadcast host on-camera, or a worship leader delivering a message, balanced handling is crucial for consistent, professional presentation.

Conical Shape Designed for Optimal Fit
This accessory isn’t just a chunk of metal—it’s a custom-shaped insert that sits inside the A20-HH’s antenna assembly. The conical design ensures a snug and vibration-free fit that won’t interfere with RF performance, internal electronics, or mounting. Once installed, it’s completely hidden from view, maintaining the clean, minimalist aesthetic of the A20-HH mic.

Ideal for Custom Mic Capsule Pairings
The A20-HH supports interchangeable mic capsules with both Shure- and Sennheiser-compatible threads, giving users flexibility in tonal character and pickup pattern. When using premium capsules that add weight to the head of the mic, the Counterweight-30 restores proper feel and prevents the mic from tipping forward in stands, mounts, or hands. It’s a smart upgrade for users who frequently switch between capsule types.

Quick to Install with No Modifications Required
Installing the A20-HH Counterweight-30 takes seconds. Simply unscrew the mic’s base, slide the weight into the antenna cavity, and reattach the parts—no tools, adhesives, or permanent modifications needed. It’s just as easy to remove if your configuration changes, making it perfect for rental houses, touring engineers, or multi-capsule workflows.

Essential for Touring and Rigorous Use
In demanding live environments, stability and comfort make a big difference in performance. The A20-HH Counterweight-30 ensures that the microphone feels right in the hand, even with the most substantial capsule combinations. If you're investing in top-end mic capsules for your Sound Devices A20-HH system, this counterweight completes the package.
