Why do I need a microphone stand?

A microphone stand is an incredibly useful and versatile piece of gear to have. If you own a microphone or plan on using one eventually, you’re going to need one. A mic stand will keep your microphone firmly in place at a height and position (if using a boom stand) of your choosing. They’re essential for live performances and recording. It's worth investing in a high-quality mic stand, especially if you’re attaching an expensive microphone to it, because they’re more robust and last longer.

Why do I need speaker stands?

Speaker stands are well worth owning if you’re recording with studio monitors, whether that’s in a bedroom studio or a professional one. They allow you to find the perfect listening position for your monitors and isolate them from any surfaces that might introduce resonances that can colour the sound.

Microphone stands are available in a variety of formats, these are some of the main types that you’ll come across.

  • Tripod Stand - A tripod stand is one of the most common mic stands and has a straight, height-adjustable pole with three feet at the bottom that fold in and out.
  • Tripod Boom Stand - Arguably the most versatile form of mic stand. They’re the same as a tripod stand but with an additional boom arm that gives you more flexibility when positioning the mic.
  • Round Base Stand - A round base stand (also known as a straight stand) is similar to a tripod stand but has a circular, weighted base instead of three feet. These stands are ideal for vocalists as you’re less likely to trip over the base whilst performing.
  • Desktop Stand - Desktop stands are designed to go on top of a desk and are often used for podcasting and livestreaming applications.
  • Low-profile Stand - Low-profile stands are used to mic sound sources that a low to the ground, such as a kick drum or guitar cab speaker.
