K&M 26085

Well made microphone stand!

For singers without instruments and for being sexy on the stage this microphone stand is just amazing! K&M is producing high quality stands so you will get probably some of the best stands on the market. I am giving it 4 of 5 just because that round base. Do not get me wrong, it is nice, well built, heavy and stable, sexy, everything is just fine. But on the other hand, for travelling around it is not so nice. If you have the stand lying in the car without unscrewing the round base, it will move around the car what is quite logical. So, you have to unscrew the round base every time after the gig and if you travel a lot for my opinion tripod is better option but definitely less sexy. Decision is on you. :)

Sturdy & handy

Been using it for about a year on tour and rehearsals now, has seen it's share of heavy use and still works like great. Round base is stable but not too heavy (especially compared to other stands with a round base) which makes it very handy if you like to move it around a lot on stage. Adjusting the height is a doozy, done in a second. Love this thing, don't think I'll ever buy a different stand!

Great Feel but...

Mic Stand is lightweight very easy to use but it no longer moves up and down freely you have to bag the base of the stand on the floor to move the stand up and down, I'm assuming the trigger I sticking other than that its a lovely mic stand.

Probably the worst Microphone Stand I ever bought!

The base won't screw onto the stand properly - after using it about 10 times in less than a month it has no grip!

Best for multiple stage performers

It’s the ideal stand for stage performers, especially if there’s many different performers with different height is gonna use it, because of the “soft touch”.

No more tripping over mic stands

This mic stand is essential for crowded bandrooms and live stages, as well as the life expectancy of your microphones.

I can't count how often I had to dive half way over the stage to save a microphone from falling to the ground because someone tripped over a 3 point mic stands extending feet or someone pulled on a cable that was wrapped around one.

No more with this mic stand. It is compact, easy to handle and pack and much safer for microphones installed on it.

Obviously this doesn't come without downsides:

To provide sability, the base plate is quite heavy (not much of an issue in my oppinion)

The icreased surface that is in contact to the ground as compared to other mic stands leads it to transmit vibrations better to the microphone. Live this isn't much of an issue, as the noise would only be heard in absolute silence. And why would you be stamping your foot next to the mic stand if every one else is silent.

If you are recording a vocalist, who likes to tap their foot loudly, this might be an issue. But then again, tapping your foot loudly during vocal recording is (in my opinnion) an issue in general.

Great all round mic stand

Very robust and easy to adjust. I now have a few of these in my kit

Total package!

This one hand stand is next level!

The stand is light and is easlily mobile for travelling to gigs.

The clamp makes it so easy to adjust the height without having to waste time untightening/tightening the stand.

Al-round quality for an exceptional price

Cannot handle a sound mic shield due to weight

No hassle, stable and convenient stand

Simple, thin and stable stand. Handle very convenient.
