Experience professional-grade reach with the Marantz Professional Audio Scope B9. This lightweight, 9-foot aluminum boom pole features four extendable sections, an ergonomic foam handle, and smooth twist-lock adjustments—perfect for film, broadcast, and field recording. Available now at DSLR Zone.
The Marantz Professional Audio Scope B9 is an exceptionally lightweight, aluminum boom pole engineered to meet the demanding requirements of professional field recording. Whether you are capturing clean dialogue on a narrative film set, recording on-location for a documentary, or managing run-and-gun news productions, the B9 provides the essential reach and stability you need to keep your microphone perfectly positioned and out of the shot.
Comprising four extendable sections that reach a maximum length of 9 feet (2.74 meters), the B9 is designed for maximum versatility. Its robust twist-lock mechanism ensures smooth, secure adjustments, while the ergonomic foam handle allows for comfortable operation during long filming days. The B9 is available in two configurations: the standard model, which includes Velcro® straps for efficient external cable management, and the B9-C model, which features an integral (internal) XLR cable for a cleaner, faster setup. Durable, portable, and reliable, the Audio Scope B9 is the ideal foundation for any professional audio rig.
9-Foot Extension: Reaches up to 9 feet (2.74 m) to keep microphones out of frame while maintaining optimal proximity to the source.
4-Section Lightweight Design: Constructed from durable aluminum, providing a sturdy yet portable tool for boom operators.
Ergonomic Foam Handle: Designed for maximum comfort, reducing fatigue during extended recording sessions.
Reliable Twist Locks: Features smooth, fast-acting twist locks for rapid length adjustments on set.
Cable Management Options: Choose between external cable management (via included Velcro® straps) or the B9-C model with an internal, integral XLR cable.
Standard 3/8″-16 Thread: Compatible with a wide range of professional shock mounts and microphone accessories.
💡 Pro-Tip: When using the B9-C (internal cable) model, always ensure that you do not over-tighten the twist locks, as this can pinch the internal cabling over time. If you are operating in high-wind environments, use a high-quality shock mount with an integrated windscreen to prevent mechanical noise from traveling down the pole.
