Millenium MS 2012 Reviews

Professional Microphone Stand

Very solid stand, but it lacks some reliability compared to similar stand by K&M. For amateur use it is pure awesome !

Great for space saving

I had been using the standard 3 leg mic stands which were you cheaper type - the Millenium is a very significant upgrade, great quality plastic, sturdy construction and tighter tolerances, I mainly use a mic stand to just throw a 57 on it and latch my talkbox tube to that then wrap it around the main joint and leave it set up in the house.

The base is heavy enough to support a 57 or 58 at 90 degrees and half extension but a good knock will still bring it down so I'd only recommend using it like that in very tight spaces - the second one I bought is between a wall and a piano in the house as my partner sings and plays and that's how we use it in that specific space and is unlikely to get knocked over.

The height adjustment is very quick - just grip, set and let go.

All the fittings are solid and I think I've only had slippage once which I think was user error, with the tolerances being so good wherever you tighten it down, it doesn't slip over time like cheaper stands do with weight on the end.

Overall worth the investment if you have been using a stand half the price for years and looking for a very significant and reliable upgrade.

MAGIC

Exactly what it says on the tin.

Many Thanks as always, service second to none.

it's a good stander if you sing standing. If you use the whole extention of the giraffe neck and sit down, the base will result too small to hold the weight of the mic (in my case a shure sm58).

I like the one hand height regulation method, very handy.

Good, balanced mic stand.

This stand delivers lots of stability and seems well made.

been using iit for months and none of the fittings seem worn or loose.

buy with confidence.

A great stand, better used in the studio than on a stage!

A well priced stand that is super easy to set up and takes up a lot less precious floor space around drums or in crowded studio situations.

Of course it can't overcome the laws of physics and if the boom arm is full extended and the stand loaded with some big & heavy mic, it might tip over, and also the nifty quick-set & quick-release mechanism might not be the best choice for stage use with a singer who leans or hangs heavily onto his stand, but for studio use and with a bit of common sense & care, it's a winner.

This stand was fine for about 2/3 years

It was perfect and then just went one day. I guess it's to be expected from a stand eventually but it did feel too soon. When it works its great though

Beware singers with balance problems

I bought three of these to replace three similar stands that I bought a year ago which have done well all things considered. These however didn't do well at all.

If what you need is a mic stand which adjusts easily and all you want to do is put a microphone on it - then that's fine .. the problems start when you stick an SM58 (or similar on it) and put it in front of a singer who is not playing and just wants to hang on to the microphone stand. They really are not designed for this. The first one lasted me about 5 minutes before the boom became detached. The other two have lasted slightly longer - but all three are now residing in the "needs attention or scrapping" box at the back of the studio. In short - the join between the main stand and the boom just doesn't take any kind of manhandling at all and once they have been bent - they are of no use at all.

Mic stand for all

I've had a lot of mic stands over the years, this one beats them all, it's so easy to fold up and to adjust when built.

And it's durable and when extended will hold a heavy mic without tipping over which is very common with a small round base.

No cons with this mic stand, it's all good

Base is dangerously light

Overall, this is a well-made product, marred by the fact that it is very unstable when fully extended. I like my mic stand to be in the "Brian May" position (i.e. fully extended and the upper bar horizontal. When the mic was attached, it overbalanced. I filled the base with a cement mortar, and it's better now, but still liable to fall over without a lot of effort. I pinched a finger quite badly when moving the the height adjustment fitting, so beware of that too.

On a gig recently, it toppled over mid song; most embarrassing.

Great quality

Holds a Rode NT1 no problem, the heavy round base mean's it's not going anywhere and the single hand height adjustment is well designed and easy to use.

I would buy this again

Amazing quality

At first I thought it would be poor quality for the price but it was other way round. Quality of this stand is amazing, works great, it's heavy which is stable. Overall great!

Not stable

Simply isn't fully stable (rattles) where the height adjustment connects. The base isn't heavy enough for high micing either, this product just simply isn't fit for purpose. Would not buy again.

milenium mic stand

great product at an unbeatable price

a really solid stable stand

I bought 2 of these having tried them at a local venue, they are really good, a lot better than tripod stands. They are very sturdy, one handed control makes it easy to adjust , especially for a guitarist with less hands available. The adjustments are very positive and it does sag or slip. The heavy foot has a small footprint which is useful again as a guitarist with pedals etc cluttering the floor. Worth the extra 10€ over the basic tripod stand.

nice stand

i bough this stand for my shure mic and i like it much,it has weigh so it is stable,wont fall easy,it has place to hold the mic cable and its easy to set
