Heil Sound DT-1 Flush Desktop Mount for Microphone Booms

Heil Sound DT-1: A Clean, Flush Home for Your Boom

The Heil Sound DT-1 is a flush desktop mount that anchors a microphone boom arm directly into a work surface. Rather than clamping to the edge of a desk, the DT-1 seats into a drilled hole so the boom rises cleanly from the desktop for a tidy, permanent installation. It is built specifically for Heil boom arms, giving broadcasters and podcasters a fixed, professional anchor point. For a studio desk that needs a clean, integrated look, the DT-1 is the flush-mount solution.

Brass-Lined for Silent Movement

A brass insert inside the DT-1 ensures a smooth fit and noiseless boom movement across all Heil Sound boom arms. Brass lining creates a snug bearing surface that lets the boom pivot quietly, preventing the squeaks and grinding of a bare metal fitting. That silence matters because a mounted microphone will pick up any mechanical noise transmitted through the stand. Broadcasters and voice-over artists get repositioning that stays out of the recording.

Built for Heil Boom Arms

Engineered to accept a standard 1/2-inch boom stem, the mount is designed for the Heil PL-2T, HB-1, and SB-2 booms. Because stem sizes vary between manufacturers, other-brand booms may not fit, so the DT-1 is matched to Heil's own arms for a guaranteed, rattle-free connection. This purpose-built fit keeps the boom firmly seated even as it is adjusted throughout a session. Studios standardized on Heil hardware get a mount that simply works.

Flexible, Discreet Installation

Measuring 3 inches high by 2 inches wide, the DT-1 requires a 1.5-inch drilled hole and mounts to surfaces between 1/2 inch and 2 inches thick. The compact footprint keeps most of the hardware below the desk, leaving only a low, unobtrusive collar on top. Its wide surface-thickness range fits everything from thin desktops to heavy workbenches. For a permanent broadcast or podcast station, this discreet installation keeps the workspace clean and professional.

The Foundation of a Tidy Studio Desk

By fixing the boom into the desk itself, the DT-1 delivers a stable, clutter-free foundation for a microphone workstation. A flush mount cannot be knocked loose the way an edge clamp can, so the boom stays exactly where it was installed. It pairs naturally with Heil booms to build a permanent, camera-ready recording position. Podcasters, radio hosts, and voice-over professionals get a rock-solid anchor for daily use.
