DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATIONS Models 418 and 419. These desk stands are styled to give a modern, pleasing appearance while supplying an appropriate base to hold the microphone to prevent tilting and toppling over. The 418 stand is to be used with microphones having small studs, such as models 61 1, 623, 630, 636, 641, 674, 911, and 951. Models 644 and 664 produced after spring 1968 are also equipped with small studs.

Models 418S and 419S, equipped with a long-life leaf switch, are available for use where “on-off’ switch or relay control is desired. The switch consists of two separate single-pole, single-throw switch sections controlled from a single three-position lever. Both switch sections are “open” in the center switch-lever position. The switch lever is locked in the “up” position, where one switch section is closed. The lever is non-locking in the “down” position, where the other switch section is closed. Models 418G and 419G, gold-finished, are available to match models 636G, 664G, and 674G. Model 420.
