Millenium MS 2005 Reviews

Buy a K&M stand if you need it for longer

This stand will be usable for about 2 years then you can throw it away. For that time it is a good deal. Anything more and you end up paying more than if would have bought a more quality stand in the first place.

Very Weak Product

As other reviews have noted, the part that tends to take the majority of the weight/stress is the weakest of all.

I set this stand up to hold a SM57 microphone over my snare drum in a studio setting, i.e. once placed correctly not to be moved as my drums are there permanently.

I came to record one day and noticed that the microphone was sitting on my snare drum skin and assumed that the nut must have loosened on the boom arm. When i went to adjust the boom arm i noticed that the plastic housing that keeps the swivel joint of the boom arm in position had cracked.

The SM57 is not a heavy microphone, the stand has never been moved once placed in position so there has not been any undue stress placed on this.

I can only say that this part of the stand is substandard quality and not fit for purpose.

I cannot comment on the sturdiness of the height adjustment as I have not increased the height of the vertical stand.

The legs of the stand are sturdy and provided the stand with a stable base.

I will certainly not be purchasing another.of these boom stands with this cheap plastic part holding the boom arm in place again!

Great Value

This is just great value.

Works perfectly and is solid.

I have a few of these and no problems whatsoever.

decent mic stand

I bought a pair of this stands in order to use them in the studio, mainly for singers and acoustic guitars, but I used them also for drums and guitar cabinets.

For the price I can't complain, the look quite solid, they come with two adapters for the clips taht need the bigger screw, and they arent loose in any point. They are quite light, which is a good thing if you need to move them but a bad one if you will put big mics with heavy shockmounts on them.

They are very easy to use and i didnt find any problem in these months, i used them also with a stereo bar and the stability was not a big thing, if you place the legs in a proper way.

they reach a pretty decent height and when folded they are quite short, like every mic stand at this price point i think.

They work well, they do all I need and at this price point I am satisfied, I had no problems and they worked fine every time i used them

Good stand

This is a good stand. Killer for the price, but you can see it is a bit flimsy compared to high end stuff, but if you want that, pay 4 times the price, and I decided this is good enough for me.

Great Stand

The best stand for the price.. Full stop..

good for this price

They ar not very strong stands but good for this price. They are ideal for overheads, which using small diaphragm condenser - lightweight mics. But if you looking for heavy condenser mics like rode nt2a&etc. please buy another model for balance oneself.

Good for the price.

a good stand for light mics.

I wouldn't trust this stand to any sort of substantial condenser mic at a long extension but at a short height it is probably fine. the friction clamp is plastic and not too strong but if not abused it is fine. I have had two for over a year and haven't had any problems with the friction arm.

I use the stand on overheads for drums. It holds lightweight Pencil condensers fine but i wouldn't use anything heavier on this stand for overheads.

Overall for the price you cant really go wrong but if you need something for heavier mics this isn't your stand.

Very good stands

I bought these stands for my vintage drums and i loved it, very versatile, easy to handle and easy to tidy up.

Value for money

Using it for months now and is still stable and robust.

Very good.

Not great

Unfortunately with this microphone stand you will get what you pay for. The tightening components are made of plastic and even though I have been very careful during use not to overtighten, eventually the parts did snap and the stand had to be thrown away. I have owned and handled many mic stands ove the years and this is just not adequately built for life on the road. It might be relatively ok if all you need is a stand in your studio, but my advice would be to spend a bit more and make sure you get one with all metal parts.

Decent, affordable mic stand that does the job

This is used at home, mostly just to - well...stand a mic.

Its winning points are that it's cheap and light, and it's reasonably reliable. I haven't had any problems with it drooping or moving unexpectedly and it looks like it could last a few years.

On the downside you get what you pay for, it's not the sturdiest and I would be hesitant to take this to say, a hardcore gig. Although I'd be hesitant to take anything to a hardcore gig.

Its mechanism is a little bit strange, albeit simplified, compared to most stands but as long as it holds it's not a problem, and so far it has.

All in all, if you just need something to hold a mic then this will last you and serve you well. But maybe don't use it for heavy, expensive and/or fragile mics out on the road.

Bad quality stands

I guess it depends what you use them for, and that you get what you pay for. As mic-stands in a studio that will be used a lot, the quality is not good enough. I bought a few, and two of them broke after under a year with moderate use. i seriously recommend buying something else.

basic

for the price i wasn't expecting much, its an ok stand provided your not mounting a mic with some weight to it

STURDY, EFFICIENT AND GOOD PRICED

This microphone stand came with my SHURE 58 mic package and i'm very happy with it.

It is strong, length / height adjustment is easy and is of a good built, expensive looking.

You can't go wrong with the purchase.

Not the best

I'm in an acoustic three piece band and also a wedding band so to say i use the mic stand a lot is fair to say. I've previously gotten shure micstands when buying microphones in a package however I'm afraid that I'm not a huge fan of this brand. The rotator section is not reliable and has actually broken since. I wouldn't purchase this brand again if it were me.

Great quality & price.

This is a great product, 100% quality & at a good price.

A useful and affordable option.

Good build quality microphone stand.

Just wish the base was a bit heavier, but it's very cheap so I can't really complain.

Would recommend to a friend.

Good value for money, but...

Didn't live long unfortunately, the plastic parts are not reliable. For the short term solution - works good.

Good stand for a good price

Wouldn't expect anything more. Legs could be slightly larger.
