Sennheiser Extension Tube 15 cm
Enhance your professional audio setup with the Sennheiser Extension Tube 15 cm, a compact, purpose-built accessory designed to optimize microphone placement without compromising sound quality. This slim extension bar sits between the mic head and the XLR module, adding precisely 15 centimeters of reach so you can position the microphone exactly where it needs to be for optimal pickup, even in tight spaces, on-camera shoots, or busy stage environments. By allowing you to step the mic away from the body, clothing noise, handling interference, and plosive proximity are minimized, while the signal path remains clean and reliable from source to interface. The extension tube is crafted to withstand the rigors of professional use—whether you’re on a bustling broadcast floor, inside a studio control room, or out in the field—so you can trust it during demanding sessions. Its compact form travels easily in a gear bag and attaches quickly to existing Sennheiser systems, making it an excellent choice for freelancers, technicians, and production crews who value both efficiency and sound integrity. In addition to enabling flexible microphone geometry, the 15 cm extension helps with cable management by reducing tugging on the mic head and distributing cable strain more evenly along the line. This simple accessory can unlock new configurations for lavalier, head-worn, and instrument mics, facilitating smoother setups and faster changes between scenes or performers. If you’re standardizing equipment across a studio or upgrading a live rig, this extension tube provides a reliable, repeatable solution that respects the built-in design philosophy of Sennheiser while expanding creative and technical possibilities. With the 15 cm reach, you gain more freedom to experiment with mic angles, distance, and placement—ultimately delivering clearer speech, richer tonal balance, and a more controlled live or recorded sound. It’s a small component with a big impact on workflow, ergonomics, and sonic performance.
- Extends the microphone signal path by 15 cm, enabling flexible placement without forcing you to contort the mic or compromise on distance from the source. This controlled reach helps you capture cleaner vocals, dialogue, or instrument sounds while maintaining a natural on-camera or on-stage positioning.
- Simple, secure connection between the microphone head and the XLR module, designed for fast, tool-free setups. The extension tube integrates smoothly into existing Sennheiser rigs, reducing downtime during quick changes in dynamic production environments.
- Durable, professional-grade construction built to withstand stage lights, studio sessions, and on-location shoots. The extension tube maintains reliable signal transmission under the realities of movement, vibrations, and frequent re-rigging.
- Clever cable management and reduced handling noise. By guiding the cable path through a dedicated extension, you minimize strain on connectors, lessen microphonic noise, and keep the workspace neat for faster and more confident mic adjustments.
- Broad compatibility within Sennheiser ecosystems, enabling versatile configurations across various mic heads and XLR-equipped channels. This makes it a practical addition for studios with mixed gear or fleets of mics that need consistent performance across setups.

How to install Sennheiser Extension Tube 15 cm
- Power down your audio equipment before beginning installation to prevent pops or static from occurring in the signal chain.
- Detach the microphone head from its current connector if needed, and prepare the extension tube by ensuring the connectors are clean and free of debris.
- Attach one end of the extension tube securely to the microphone head, verifying a snug, locked connection to avoid looseness during use.
- Connect the opposite end of the extension tube to the XLR module or cable, ensuring a firm fit and that the cable routing follows a clean path to minimize movement noise.
- Power on your gear and test the mic to confirm a stable, clear signal with the extended reach. Adjust the mic position as required to achieve optimal proximity and balance in your acoustic environment.
Frequently asked questions
-
Q: What is the Sennheiser Extension Tube 15 cm used for?
A: It provides a precise 15 cm extension between the microphone head and the XLR module, allowing flexible placement while preserving signal quality on Sennheiser systems. This is especially useful when live or on-location setups require the mic to be positioned further from the mouth or body without compromising sound. -
Q: How long is it?
A: The extension tube measures 15 centimeters in length, offering additional reach without becoming cumbersome in tight spaces or on camera. -
Q: Will using the extension tube affect audio quality?
A: When properly integrated with compatible Sennheiser mic heads and XLR connections, the extension tube is designed to maintain signal integrity, minimize impedance, and preserve the natural tonality of the captured sound. If used with incompatible gear, performance may vary. -
Q: Is it compatible with all Sennheiser microphones?
A: It is designed for use with Sennheiser microphone heads and standard XLR-enabled audio chains. For exact compatibility, refer to your microphone model’s guidelines and ensure proper connectors and cable types are used. -
Q: How should I care for the extension tube?
A: Keep the connectors clean and dry; wipe with a soft, dry cloth after use, and store in a protective case or pouch. Avoid liquids and heavy impact, and inspect connectors periodically for wear or corrosion.
