Microphone Stands

We know well that any audio professional needs to choose the most suitable "support" for their microphone and its intended use. To meet the needs of music enthusiasts and more, there are many types of microphone stands available on the market: short stands, boom stands, straight stands, or round base stands. While the stand is a very simple object, its manufacturing is not at all simple. We are here to clarify the most common doubts that usually arise within any musical instrument store.

Boom, Straight, Round Base Microphone Stands - Which to Choose?

Logically, one might wonder what differentiates a microphone stand from a simple broom handle. For beginners, stands may seem expensive due to the particular lightweight materials used in their construction. However, do not forget that the stand is a tool that will have to be carried on your shoulders for long hours during recording work, or accompany you in your travels for work. It's of utmost importance that the weight is as minimal as possible.
Another aspect to consider is the noise, unwanted, created by the movement of the hands and oscillations of the microphone which is faithfully captured by the microphone itself. Every microphone stand has various adjustments to minimize such noises, e.g. Teflon rings inside, sound-absorbent material gaskets, special finishing or covering of the first section of the stand. Despite these anti-noise precautions on the stand itself, it is almost always necessary to add microphone suspensions. Practice teaches that only by using more than one anti-noise aid simultaneously can acceptable levels of stand quietness be achieved.

In our musical instrument store, you will have the opportunity to explore this microphone accessory up close and understand whether a straight or round base microphone stand, mainly used on stages or in situations with little space, or a boom stand, very convenient for those who play the guitar and sing at the same time as it allows to significantly extend the "neck", is more suitable for your needs. It's up to you to make your evaluations.

Microphone stands are indispensable accessories both during live performances and in the studio. They are very important for all singers who occasionally insert the microphone on the stand to have their hands free but also for all instruments that need a microphone to be amplified.

In the stands, the locking systems of the joints are very important, the better they are, the longer the stand will last, limiting loosening problems and the risk of the stand sagging during the performance. The stands can be of various sizes, from tabletop in the case of microphones for conferences, they can be straight or boom.

There are also many accessories to add to microphone stands such as supports for tablets or iPads very useful for eliminating bulky music stands, or drink holders.

Microphone stands for recording studios are also very important. In these cases, it is necessary to have as many adjustments as possible to dampen vibrations of any kind to avoid being captured with the highly sensitive studio and condenser microphones. In these cases, in addition to the adjustments that can be found in the stands, anti-vibration microphone holders, also known as spider mounts, are added.
