m!ka. Incomparable efficiency in mounting.
With the m!ka Mic and Monitor Mounting System you can design your individual studio setup in the most flexible way. m!ka provides powerful components to integrate your microphones and monitors. Choose from loads of elegant options to arrange your gear and mount your individual combination of elements wherever you want.
Like no other. m!ka is a real beauty.
m!ka's anodized metallic look stands out. Go for black to contrast your bright ideas or choose discreetly shimmering aluminum. Light or dark, m!ka elegantly keeps your desktop clean by hiding most of your cables and reducing the number of mounts. m!ka is the system to success. Be amazed how much more room for your ideas there is to gain.
Start from scratch or pick from sets.
Either start from scratch and create your own combination of m!ka elements or have a look at the range of m!ka Sets to get inspired. The sets reflect the most popular arrangements. Pick from twelve different compositions and optionally upgrade them with further m!ka elements. No matter what you long for, m!ka has all the options ready for you.
Aaaand action! m!ka is camera ready.
For video calls, streaming and visual radio, we redefined m!ka by expanding the mounting system. Especially for video applications, we designed three new components that perfectly match all other m!ka elements. If you create video content, check out the m!ka CamStud, the m!ka CamArm and the m!ka Mic Arm TV.
Add a camera to your setup.
With m!ka CamStud you get smooth camera integration for cams with 1/4" screw. Place it on top of a m!ka Pole, litt Riser or even directly on a m!ka CamArm. Thanks to its integrated ball joint, m!ka CamStud always gets you the required camera angle to catch a meaningful perspective!
A close view of things.
To let your webcam capture an unobstructed view of the scenes, we designed the m!k Mic Arm TV. Wherever you need free vision, the low profile microphone arm offers just that. It hovers just above desktop level. Easily mount it to a m!ka Pole and place it wherever you want.
Your microphone's best mate.
Let m!ka become your microphone's reliable companion. Mount its clamp to the standard 5/8" thread and hook it up via the arm's inboard mic cable. m!ka Mic Arms are pre-weighted to fit most standard microphones. Whenever needed you can fine balance the arm by adjusting the internal spring system. Even heavy microphones can be perfectly counterbalanced for untroubled use. Let the show begin.
Small details make a huge difference.
Each m!ka model is available in two versions, either with or without 'On Air' indicator. Enjoy to find your indicator exactly where you need it: just above your microphone. The 360° signaling light is doubtlessly telling anybody around that you are On Air.
Make most of 360° OnAir indication.
All m!ka On Air Arms use the same CleanVision® technology which made our litt Signaling Light so desirable. The 360° indicator provides a much better recognition than ever experienced before. At the same time it will not glare at short distance.
Two states, two colors.
Why indicate On Air only? In addition to the prominent red for On Air indication you get white, too. Use it, for instance, to indicate that your mic is ready. To do so, simply reverse the polarity of the drive voltage and toggle between red and white signaling.

Please follow the following steps to install and wire your microphone:
