What is Microphone Stands

 

 

A microphone stand is a free-standing mount for a microphone. It allows the microphone to be positioned in the studio, on stage or on location without requiring a person to hold it. The most basic microphone stand is a straight stand. It uses a dome-shaped round metal base, or a tripod base, into which is threaded a post for mounting the microphone (most commonly a 5/8-27 threaded hole). This post may be made up of two or more telescoping tubes that fit inside each other, allowing for quick height adjustment. The mechanism for adjusting the height is called the clutch.

Advantages of Microphone Stands
 

Better Positioning of the Microphone

The biggest advantage to using a mic arm is that it allows you to get the perfect microphone placement. You want the microphone to be positioned as close to you as possible without leaning forward like you do with a standard tabletop microphone stand. The distance between you and the microphone has a great impact on the sound of your voice. Your voice will be fuller, warmer and louder when you are closer to the microphone, this is also called the 'proximity effect'. This happens because the microphone picks up more lower frequencies when you are close. This effect is what makes it so enjoyable to listen to DJs on the radio.


However, you don't want to keep the microphone too close either, otherwise your voice will end up sounding muddy and boomy. Every microphone has its own sweet spot, but you would be best off to start at a distance of approximately 15 to 30 centimeters (6 to 12 inches) away from your mic. A microphone boom arm allows you to always have your microphone at that sweet spot, even if you're moving around.

Reduced Shock Noise

Another reason to go for a boom arm is to reduce shock noises. Naturally, you create a lot of vibrations when you're working at your desk. Take for example the keyboard presses, taps on any object on the desk or you placing anything down on it. All of these sounds are usually picked up by a tabletop mic stand, which greatly affects the audio quality. You won't notice it much yourself, but your listeners will have every little vibration amplified into their ears. Luckily all of these vibrations will be reduced heavily thanks to the springs of the boom arm. However, you will get the absolute best result when using a shock mount attached to a boom arm. A shock mount is also called an isolation mount, because it is designed to hold and isolate the microphone to protect it from shocks and vibrations. In another blog article we will tell you everything about it.

More Space on Your Desk

A table top microphone stand needs to be positioned close to you on your desk to ensure a good sound quality. This not only reduces your desk space, but you also have to go around your microphone stand to reach your keyboard. A boom arm is much more convenient to use as you can position your microphone exactly where you want it. If you're done using the microphone, you just turn the arm towards the opposite direction so it is out of your sight.

 

Types of Microphone Stands
 

Tripod Stands
The tripod mic stand is one of the most common ones, hence it falls under the category of "standard stands". You'll often see this mic stand in recording studios, live stages, events, and TV programs.
The design is very straightforward. It has one straight pole with a mount at the top, and you can adjust the height. At the bottom are three feet that easily fold in and out for packing and setting up. They're also relatively affordable.
The downside to tripod stands; you can trip over the feet if you're not careful. This can cause it to tip over, and there goes the microphone.

 

Round Base Stands
This is another standard stand that is commonly used and affordable. The pole of a round base stand is identical to that of a tripod stand, and instead of feet, it has a cylindrical or dome-shaped base.
Artists tend to prefer round base stands over tripod stands, especially during live shows, since you're not as likely to trip over them. If the base is too wide, however, getting close to the mic can get uncomfortable and you'll need to assume a hunched-over position.
The steadiness of a round base stand will depend on the material and weight of the base. A metal base is preferable, but it'll be heavy to carry.

 

Tripod Boom Stands
A tripod boom stand has the same bottom half as a standard tripod stand, but there's an added pole attached at the top of the vertical pole, known as the boom arm.
The boom arm is what makes a tripod boom stand flexible and often more comfortable to use since you have more freedom to angle the mic. Singers also use this stand while sitting down.

 

Overhead Stands
Overhead stands have a sturdier and more complex build than any of the others discussed here. Which makes them the most expensive type of mic stand.
This allows you to push the stand without having to lift its heavy weight.
Similar to the tripod boom stand, it has a boom arm, but it reaches out much further. This is why you'll often hear people mention "overheads" when talking about recording drums. This is the stand that's used to capture the collective sound of a drum kit because it extends far and high.
The mount is more adjustable than any other stand's mount. Pair this with the reach of the boom arm, and you can achieve some extreme angles with the microphone. An overhead mount is also ideal for heavier microphones, such as condensers.

 

Low-Profile Stands
Low-profile stands, or short mic stands, are like the smaller versions of tripod boom stands.
These stands are typically used to record sound sources that are low on the ground, such as kick drums. Hence the name "low-profile".

 

Desktop Stands
If you watch podcasts or live streams, you've probably seen this type of mic stand. A desktop stand is like a mini standard mic stand.
The base will either be round like a round base stand like the Bilione 3-in-1 Desktop Stand above or have three legs like a tripod stand. A lot of them can also be fixed onto a surface with screws.
There is usually one, short, adjustable pole in the middle with a mount at the top. But some desktop stands also have a little boom arm.

 

Specialty Stands
Specialty stands is an umbrella term for any type of mic stand that doesn't fall into one of the abovementioned main categories.
Wall and ceiling mic stands are good examples. The base gets mounted onto a wall or ceiling with screws, and there are usually two connected poles, namely the vertical and horizontal arms, which makes it very flexible. These are often used for broadcasts or voice-overs.
Other specialty stands include those with clip-on bases. Instead of placing it on the ground or mounting it to a surface, you can clip it onto something such as the edge of a desk. These are great for traveling since they're lightweight and quick to set up.
Mic stands that are designed for particular sound sources also fall into this category. For example, dual-mic stand holders for recording two sound sources at once, and neck brace mic holders which fit around your neck.

Height Range
The tallness scope of the microphone stand you pick is additionally significant. For instance, in the event that you play an instrument and you sing with your voice also, you ought to have the option to change the tallness, contingent upon your particular needs.


Base
Furthermore, the mic stand base is an equally significant factor. Essentially, there are two primary types of basses, namely tripod and solid.
How do you choose between the two? Simple: it depends on your performance. If you plan on singing, a solid base will definitely reach its purpose.
Nonetheless, if you want to add some guitar to the song, a tripod might be a better alternative. Bear in mind that solid bases aren't compatible with booms. Therefore, they work only if you don't require a mic for an additional instrument.

 

Portability
Suppose that you plan on utilizing the microphone stand in various scenes, for live performances or recordings, et cetera. Right now, is an element you'll come to appreciate.
Furthermore, best of all, there are a lot of phenomenal microphone stands that are both convenient and sturdy. That implies you won't need to make any tradeoffs right now.


Weight

When in doubt, you should mull over the material of the microphone blast stand, its strength, and weight.


Best Microphone Stand
Numerous individuals lean toward utilizing a boom arm, rather than a traditional desk stand. Clearly, not all microphones are made equivalent.
On that note, some will sound phenomenal absent a lot of exertion, while others may require extra consideration and explicit taking care of to deliver ideal sound. Truth be told, keeping up the correct separation between the mouth and the microphone is compulsory, for certain microphones. Keeping that in mind, a microphone arm permits you to receive a characteristic position and be loose while staying at the right separation.
