Microphone Stand : What is it?

MicrophoneStands1

A microphone stand is the support where a handheld microphone is placed for hands-free use. It is made up of a base, a pole, and a microphone holder or clamp. The pole is usually telescopic for adjusting its height according to user's height. The microphone is fixed on the clamp, which has a swivel for positioning the microphone at the appropriate angle whether high or low.

Kinds of Microphone Stands include the following:

Round-base stand

  • A round-base microphone stand is the most common type of microphone stand.
  • It typically uses 27 standard American threads with a locking washer and a solid-cast end.
  • The base is heavy enough to support the combined weights of the pole and microphone.

Tripod base stand

  • A tripod base microphone stands has three legs, allowing it to be adjusted from the base aside from its telescopic pole.
  • It is more stable than a round-base microphone stand. Its legs prevent it from tilting if the microphone weighs too much on one side.
  • It is usually made from composite materials such as carbon fiber, making it lighter than a microphone stand with a solid steel base.

Boom combo stand

Choosing Microphone Stands (Buying Tips)

Quick release:  Choose a microphone stand with a quick-release clutch for lowering or raising the height of the microphone easily.

Lock:  Choose a microphone stand with a locking clutch to keep the microphone steady when pole is adjusted to the desired height.  The lock should not collapse easily when force is applied.

Durability: For durability, choose a microphone stand made of heavy-duty steel tubing and high-grade hardware.

Protection: 
Choose a microphone stand with scratchproof contact points especially at the locking points to protect it from everyday wear and tear.

Cable clips: 
Look for a microphone stand with convenient microphone cable clips for securing the cable and keeping it out of the way of the performance.
