Microphone stands are an important piece of equipment that many musicians and engineers use to help improve their performance. They provide stability, secure a microphone and let you attach essential accessories for better performance.

Mic stands come in different shapes and styles. They also vary in weight and portability.

Boom Arm Stands

A boom arm stand is a type of mic stand that extends from the microphone. It allows you to place the mic at an ideal position and avoids any vibrations that may come from the surrounding equipment or your own body.

They also help to reduce shock noises that can be a result of you tapping the keyboard, placing anything down on your desk or moving it around during a recording session. The best boom arms have an internal spring system that helps to reduce these vibrations so that they are not able to affect the sound quality of your audio.

Aside from reducing vibrations, these stands also free up desk space. This is because they fold into the desk when not in use and can be easily dismantled and packed down.

Desktop Stands

Microphone stands are a great way to keep your mic stable and eliminate vibrations from hand-held microphones. They’re available in a variety of sizes and styles, ranging from freestanding tripod models to compact desk-mount stands.

Desktop stands are often a popular choice for podcasters or musicians. They’re often lightweight and easy to move around, making them perfect for on-the-go use.

There are also a number of accessories available that can improve the functionality of your stand, such as spring-loaded clips. Some of these can even be used to adjust the height of your mic as well.

A monitor stand elevates your computer screen, reducing back and neck pain from working at a computer all day. This is especially important for people who use laptops to work.

Studio Booms

Microphone suspension boom arms or’scissor arm stands’ are a great way to free up desk space and keep your studio flexible. They clip onto your mic stand and unclip from your desk when you’re not using them, giving you maximum interchangeability.

The best boom arms are also able to fold into your desk when not in use, saving even more space. This is especially useful if you’re working on the go, as they’re much easier to store and transport than a traditional stand.

Many boom arms are also designed to run audio cables internally through them. This helps reduce handling noise and ensures your microphone and recording cables don’t get tangled when in use.

Stereo Bars

A Stereo Bar is a recording tool that allows you to mount two microphones in a stereo configuration without using a mic stand or tripod. They’re ideal for close-miking situations and are easy to set up with a few quick twists of the knobs.

Some Stereo Bars come with spacers (also known as risers), which are handy if you want to use X/Y mic configurations. For these, you’ll need to raise one of your microphones a few inches above the other to achieve the necessary spacing.

Another stereo technique is ORTF, which uses a pair of cardioid microphones that are spaced at ear width and angled at 110 degrees to mimic the placement of human ears. This produces a more natural image than X/Y but isn’t as good for mono applications.

Blumlein stereo (named after Alan Blumlein) is similar to X/Y, except it uses figure-8 polar patterns to capture more room ambience than a regular A-B stereo pair. It also works well with omnidirectional microphones.
