The MS-65HD Professional Mic Stand with Telescoping Boom Arm from Auray features sturdy, 1" steel tubes and a wide tripod base offering stability for live stage, theater, rehearsal, and recording studio applications. Mic height placement is simple and easy to adjust with a twist lock.

The telescoping boom angle and length are also adjustable with a single locking knob. This makes the MS-65HD stand not only suitable for performers on stage but ideal for miking guitar cabinets as well. This stand and boom arm's rigid stability and solid locking mechanism—when the boom is at full extension—works well in applications for drum overheads or miking the inside of an acoustic piano.

This mic stand is built to be solid and stable for the stage and other demanding environments. The 1" steel tubes offer rigid strength and durability, and the wide metal tripod base keeps the stand stable even when the boom is at full extension.

The tripod legs fold up for portability and convenient storage. The mic stand collapses down to 41 inches, so you can carry it in a gear bag or road case.

The MS-65HD boom arm's length and angle are adjusted with a single ergonomic locking knob for additional ease, operation, and rugged stability. When playing on stage or in the studio and you suspend a mic at the end of a boom, the last thing you want to see is that it is wobbling around. The locking knob secures a firm grip on the boom arm and is easy to use.

Adjust the stand to the exact height you need, securely clamp it with the twist lock, and don't worry about slippage. The heavy-duty twist lock will keep the mic in place for as long as you are performing.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can this kit be hung upside down safely when clamped to ceiling rigging?

A: No, the Auray Telescoping Boom Arm Mic Stand with Table Clamp Mount is not intended to be mounted upside down. The tension screw that secures the arm in the clamp may not be capable of supporting the weight of a microphone and any accessories when it is mounted upside down.

Q: 2. Do I need an adaptor to attach a Shure MV7 microphone to this mic stand?

A: No. You just unscrew the included mic clip and screw on the MV7.

Q: 3. How tall is the mic stand itself, or how hight does it extend without the boom arm?

A: The base of the Auray MS-5230T Tripod Microphone Stand reaches a height of up to 63 inches. The telescoping boom arm can extend up to 33.9". Together these components allow the MS-5230T to reach a total height of almost 96 inches when the arm is oriented directly upwards.

Q: 4. Folded into its smallest configuration, is the overall length greater than 19"?

A: The Auray MS-5230T's minimum height is 36.2 inches.

Q: 5. Can you remove the boom arm? If so, what threading is used to attach it?

A: The Auray MS-5230T uses 5/8'' threading.

Q: 6. Will this mount work with a pistol grip with a 3/8"-16 threading?

A: You will need this 5/8'' to 3/8'' adapter to make this stand work with your pistol grip, B&H # ONMA100.

Q: 7. What size is screw the thread on the tip of the stand?

A: The Auray MS-5230T Tripod Microphone Stand with Telescoping Boom features a standard 5/8"-27 thread for mounting microphones and other compatible devices.

Q: 8. Does this work well with a Rode Pod Mic? Or too heavy?

A: Yes, the Rode PodMic can be mounted on the Auray MS-5230T tripod mic stand. You may want to use sand bags on the base of the stand to prevent any movement. If you want a stand with a heavier base, the K&M 21070 Tripod Microphone Stand with 32" Boom - Black (B&H # KM21070) is a good option.

Q: 9. Would this work well to hold a cardioid mic above seated interviewees?

A: The Auray MS-5230T Tripod Microphone Stand with Telescoping Boom will work for mounting a microphone above a seated interview subject, but the camera shot would be affected by the close proximity of the stand to the subject, due to the lack of length in the stand's boom arm. A more preferable method would be to mount a boom pole onto a C-stand/light stand with a "boom mate" style adapter such as the BoomMate BPH Boompole Holder and Grip Head Kit (BH #BOBPHV2K). This method will allow the stand to be placed much further from the subject (the length of the boom pole) and not have such an influence over the camera shot, so that a wider angle can be used if desired.

Q: 10. Can this attach to a standard light stand? Or do I need an attachment?

A: This is designed to fit a standard microphone stand.
