Buying A Microphone Stand

If I had known of this stand prior to buying my others, I would have bought this instead! This stand is professional-grade in its sturdiness, as well as being substantial. If your microphone and/or shield tips-over, its because you struck it with something!  Very pleased with this purchase!

The K&M 252 has proven to be my favorite microphone stand. I ended up buying six of them. I work strictly mobile, and never know exactly what situations I will encounter. The 252 has 3 sections in the base and two in the boom. I can place a mic near the floor, or high enough above a seated musician for a spot mic. I can record a piano on half-stick without removing the boom, or high and low over the strings. The stand is surprisingly heavy, which lends great stability when the boom is extended.

I initially thought buying a mic stand was a simple deal, after all it was just something to hold up a microphone. But after reading reviews i decided to spend a bit more for the K&M stand vs a cheaper competitor. And since finally setting everything up in the small space that i have in my room, let me just say, this is not just a simple stand! The great thing about this is that everything is adjustable, from the height of the stand to the length of the boom, to the angle of the mic, it even comes with clips for managing the cable. And while doing all that it's extremely stable, and i can easily retract the boom and hide it back in the closet. After this purchase it just goes to show why 100 dollar mic stands exist when you can get one for 30, because they are just that much better.

Great microphone stand!

This is a simple microphone stand.

This microphone arm is sturdy and I would recommend buying it if you need one.

For an inexpensive microphone stand, it seems to be solid.

Great microphone for the price. It is definitely worth buying
