Great mic stand, worth more than the price, though don’t overload it

I decided to buy two of these, originally for OH mics - but ended up using one for my vocal mic and the other for my reflection filter. I’m so glad I had two for this! The stands are great, but not quite strong enough to take the weight of both the mic and the filter. But I’m very happy that I bought the two of these and that they’re doing this job.

Un standard pour une raison

J'en ai 2 depuis une dizaine d'années, trimballés dans des dizaines de session à droite à gauche.

L'un des deux montre de légers signes de faiblesses au niveau du serrage lorsque utilisé sans contrepoids avec un micro lourd (Townsend L-22)

A part ça, résiste au temps comme jamais. Plus chers que des pieds cheap, mais tenant 4x plus longtemps...

Pretty good actually!

There are a lot of stands with a lot of different prices. I was searching for a decent one with a decent quality. That is what I got! This stand works great, it seems pretty good quality as well!

K&M, worth the price

K & M is a little bit more expensive, but I feel it's worth it because it is very reliable equipment that is a pleasure to use, because it lasts and works as intended!

Great for the price

The quality is exellent, the tripod at the bottom very versatile, stabile and light, it feels super robust. I'm overall vey happy about this item.

Not the best.

No matter how hard i try to fasten the screw in the base, the stand always manages to slowly slide down until the bottom of the upright part of the stand touches the floor. Had it for many years and i've always been a bit annoyed by it.

Good stand

Good stand, not great but good.

Sturdy and good for home use

I use the product in my home studio, it is lighter than other stands I have used in the past but still supports my condenser microphones at full extension. It seems to be a good product for the price.

Unfortunately not tight

With time the mic stand will slide down if it's not tighten really really well. Sending it back.

Very good

I have a shure sm7b mic so I needed a mic stand. After research I decided to buy this one. I a very good quality stand and just perfect for my mic. I have to fin the right position as the microphone is quite heavy compared to others so the mic will not stay in the place for so long. After trying different position I find a balance so my microphone stays in the same place for hours. With for instance a Shure sm57 works incredible and does not move a millimetre. I will recommend it.

Not great - not terrible.

I was expecting a bit more from K&M but I guess I should've had went for a more expensive option.

If you don't plan on adjusting your microphone a lot this can work.

Otherwise, I suggest skipping this stand - the ground base quickly lost the grip and the main pipe always ends up hitting the bottom which obstructs the existence of the three legs with rubber because the vibrations from the ground will at this point go directly back to the mic and you're unlikely to realize what had happened.

The upper arm is also pretty weak so you have to be extremely careful. I have used it almost exclusively with SM58 and it doesn't take too long to find the microphone falling down slowly.

I love K&M and in case I didn't receive a defected product, this is not really up to the standards. I will consider buying a pricier version soon.

great value

I own several of these now, for my own use and for hire out, given five stars for their comparative value, they are sturdy , strong and reliable, I haven't had any threads sheer or anything break, yes the paint has worn on several but that is to be expected considering the amount of use, the upright adjustment is secure and remains so during use and the boom is reliable and simple and remains stable fully extended with an overhead mic (heavier mics coud be a slight problem), the tri leg span is wide enough but not so to 'get in the way' for vocalists, i only have one that is now a bit wonky due to a large singer repeatedly standing on one of the legs !! you DO NOT need to stand on the leg to reach the mic !! they are the cheaper end of K&M range but great value for money and a very useful, very good all purpose mic stand

Well...

Its Great and practical for home use.

But i would't recomand it for studio, or stage use. (its a bit flimsy)

its starting to fall apart at the base rotation part.

its just cheap plastic at that part so not really built for hard use.

Sturdy, very sturdy

I'm glad i did not go for the cheapest mic stand and instead add extra money to get this. It holds my AT2020 at any position, i tested it limits once and it holds. You wont be dissapointed with this.

High quality.

High quality and easy to adjust.

A good one

- it makes what it should for years with no problems

- use it at home mostly

Good stand

The stand is OK.

My Favourite Mic Stand

Have used this for just 3 years now and it's only begun to give me a slight bother.

Up until now, however, I've been very pleased. It's nice to be able to adjust the boom length and angle using the same knob. Recently, however, the joint where the boom meets the upright has begun to loosen and sag slightly under the weight of the mic. I'll likely replace this with the same stand again. Good value for money.

Solid stand in a low price, no brainer

Maybe the best combination in price and quality. I have tried a lot of cheap microphone stands but this one is the best so far. Very easy and quick when you change the possition of the microphone, feels well built! It can also go pretty high lossing a bit of stability but that?s normal.

Recommended? Of course.

Best for the price

I use this mainly in my home studio and it's very stable and I think you can't find a better one for that price.
