CAHAYA Desktop Microphone Stand - Black Tripod

CAHAYA Desktop Microphone Stand: with 2 type clips 3/8" to 5/8" Metal Screw Adapter Space-saving CY0360, 1 unit : desertcart.co.uk: Musical Instruments & DJ Review: Very versatile and high quality mic stand. - This is an excellent small mic stand for putting on your table top or for mic'ing a kick drum or even a guitar amp. It strikes the perfect balance between size and weight and versatility. It is not too heavy, but just heavy enough to hold a fairly heavy mic like the AKG P120 or P220 with no problems at all. You may struggle to balance a really heavy mic like the King Bee II on it, at least in the arm fully extended position, but I'm sure it would be ok with it drawn back. I haven't tried my King Bee II on it yet, as I've just set it up with my AKG P220. The stand is easy to set up in five minutes or less without instructions. It includes a mic holder for your standard SM57/58 type of dynamic microphone, but you probably already got one of those with your mic anyway, still, it's a nice touch, seeing as it includes a mic holder for other more non-standard shaped mics as well. The base is the perfect size to put on a table top without taking up too much space, and while providing enough heft for balancing whatever mic you put in here. The quality of the parts is excellent and can't be faulted at all at this price. The included mic cable clip is another nice little touch, finishing off what is already a great first impression after you first set it all up. If you want to save space you can just set it up without the boom arm and fit your mic straight on top. This would probably be the best solution for table top use say if you were doing a podcast, but that boom arm would come in hand for adjustments say if you were micing up a kick drum or guitar amp, to just get that exact angle where it finds the 'sweet' spot. All in all I don't think you can get a better quality and more versatile stand of this type for anywhere near the money this goes for. It's a bargain. And I have no qualms about putting any of my mics in to it as it's also very stable and well balanced. Just be sensible with it. As I said, maybe a King Bee II or similar heavy weight mic might struggle balance wise using the boom fully extended, but it would pose no problem straight mounted on it I'm sure. This is a very decent quality and versatile little mic stand that I'm sure it will get a lot of use in a lot of different recording scenarios. They really got the balance of features just about perfectly right with this bit of kit. Review: Brilliant Quality - Really sturdy and brilliant quality for the price. I’ve got quite expensive mics so was initially worried this stand wasn’t going to be up to the job. It’s absolutely brilliant. Highly recommended.
