FAQ

Q: What is the tallest comfortable height this stand can get, measured from floor to clip?
A: With the stand fully extended and the boom vertical (parallel to the stand shaft) and also fully raised, the mic clip is just over 7 feet above the floor. However, whether that is comfortable or not really depends on how heavy the mic or whatever you're going to put up there is.

Q: What size is the thread?
A: The thread size is 5/8 inches. However, it is compatible with a 3/8-inch to 5/8-inch adapter (not included), which makes it a great choice for a variety of microphones.

Q: Does it come with a carrying bag?
A: No, it does not come with a carrying bag.

Q: Can I mount a Shure SM7B microphone to this stand?
A: Yes, it should work with any mic. The stand comes with an adapter, so you should be able to attach your mic clip to the stand. However, please note that the maximum microphone weight is ≤ 1KG (2 lbs).

Q: Does the boom arm detach?
A: No, the portion of the swivel that connects to the boom arm is permanent to the upright stand.

Q: Can I use it with an MXL 990 microphone?
A: Yes, you can use it with an MXL 990 microphone. Your MXL 990 should have come with a mic clip that you can screw onto the mic stand. Alternatively, you could get a shock mount that is sized for your microphone and screw that onto the mic stand to help isolate the mic from vibrations transmitted through the stand.

Q: Would the Blue Snowball microphone work fine with this stand or would it be too heavy and make the stand tip over?
A: The Blue Snowball microphone will work fine with this stand. It can hold heavy mics or any mic for that matter. It is a great product.

Q: How tall is it with the boom fully up but parallel to the ground?
A: If you were to extend the boom fully, while it's parallel to the ground, the stand would tip over unless you were to weigh down the legs somehow.

Overall, this adjustable microphone stand is designed to hold a microphone securely in place at the height you choose. The long boom arm with molded plastic counterweight can be adjusted to standing height for singing or speaking or seated height for playing an instrument. The tripod stand provides stability while its rubber feet reduce floor vibration, promote added stability, and protect bare-floor surfaces. The mic stand offers compatibility with a 3/8-inch to 5/8-inch adapter, making it a great choice for a variety of microphones. Additionally, it comes with two clip-on cable holders for neatly running and attaching a microphone power cord along the stand.
