Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can the ball head be removed or is it permanently attached?

A: On the TT-15B model, the ball head cannot be removed. If you want to be able to remove it, I recommend the regular TT-15 with the CB-30D ball head - this is basically what you are looking for.

Q: 2. Can this hold a 12LBS isolation filter shield without a danger of tipping over?

A: I have not used any isolation filters, yet. However, as I do own this Atlas MS25 microphone stand, I am absolutely confident that it would support both a 12 lb isolation stand and a heavy condenser mic simultaneously ! I feel reasonably confident that it would also support the isolation filter extended on a boom as long as your boom is heavily counter weighted. It's a great heavy duty stand. I suspect you may have some difficulty moving the stand, with an additional 12lbs mounted, around the room. I love the one I have and intend to buy another.

Q: 3. Can I attach a shock mount to this item?

A: Yes the Atlas Sound MS-10CE has a 5/8 tread on it allowing you use a shock mount on the top.

Q: 4. Is the AD14BE black? Says chrome plated.

A: Thanks for letting us know about this typo. It is indeed black. We'll correct this issue shortly.

Q: 5. What is the measurement of the tubing thread going in to the base? will it fit the Atlas Sound MS20B replacement base?

A: 5/8-27

Q: 6. OK to add a boom arm e.g. PB21XEB to this? Will mostly use with Shure BLX24 mics.

A: Yes, that boom arm will work with the MS-43E stand. If you will be using a wireless handheld transmitter from the BLX series, I would suggest getting a mic clip such as the On-Stage MY110 Wireless Rubber Microphone Clip (B&H # ONMY110) that can fit a wireless mic in it if you do not already have one.

Q: 7. I have a Voice Cube [desktop] that I'd like to be able to place onto this mic stand. I'm not sure if the threading will work? Thoughts?

A: The Voice Cube is mic stand ready and will thread onto this microphone stand.

Q: 8. How much weight will this support?

A: Atlas has not specified a weight capacity but they do mention that the AD-14B is designed to accommodate any microphone mounts and it can hold the weight of most standard microphones along with the mount.

Q: 9. Does this come with a quick release plate? If not what can you recommend?

A: The QP-144750 Quick Release Plate is well designed and has bidirectional slots and a lock button that make the mounting/unmounting more secure. The description is misleading where it says "Quick Release Systems not included," so I thought that I needed to add the QP-40 Quick Release Plate at $19.95 which is not as well designed as the included plate. You can compare the two plates if you search the Quick Release Systems accessories for this tripod and order extra QP-144750 plate(s) if you want.

Q: 10. Will this work with the Shure SM7B in the lowest position? Does the height adjust grip get in the way of the XLR connection?

A: Yes, the Atlas Sound DS-7E Desk Stand can be used with the Shure SM7B Vocal Microphone. The mic's XLR connector will not be blocked by the height adjustment grip on the stand.
