Millenium MS 2005 Reviews

Good value stand

As a disclaimer I should state that I am not a gigging musician and I use this for a home recording set-up only. However, this is a nice solid mike stand that is stable and suitably collapsible. A heavy mike will tend to rotate if not positioned correctly but this can be easily remedied by taking care on set-up. This is a good value product and I wouldn't hesitate to buy again.

Not for stage

It's a nice stand, it can easily carry two microphones, it's good for the studio.

Because it is not very stable is not the best choice for stage use. If you're playing in a preatty bouncy stage, you certanly don't want your stand with your expensive microphone falling.

Works perfectly brilliant price!

I got this to hold my tbone mb85. Does the job! Sturdy enough and can take falls and knocks. Easy to pack away and set up. Good product and cheap price! I'd recommend this to anybody!

Elegant but robust angle stand.

I used this for the first time today to mike-up a singer guitar player. The guy was singing and playing at the same time and I wanted to get the maximum from his mouth and the minimum spill over from the guitar. Fortunately this stand was very easy to angle into place so I could get just the right orientation on the microphone to do just that. I liked how easy it was to set up because the manufacturer had used different handle-styles on each adjustment screw so it it easy to figure which adjusts what. Also from an aesthetic point of view, while a very robust, sturdy piece of kit, the stand is made of quite fine tubing, so it is light to carry around and being painted black it would be most unobtrusive in a stage setting. This is the best angled microphone stand I've owned by a long chalk and available at such a very reasonable price - I will certainly be ordering more of these in the future.

not the best mic stand but it does the job, it's a bit loose and difficult to position right

Okay for the price.

I bought these stands in the beginning when I didnt have anything else to bass my opinion on. Now Im a little wiser and its partly thanks to these stands. They are not very heavy so they can tip over easily and the main clamp on the boom doesnt last very long. I wasnt gigging them heavily. Maybe once a week. These could be ok for a permanent setup but not for transit or heavy gigging..

Millenium Mic stand

Does its job well as a studio mic stand, however I'd definitely hesitate to use it live. Particularly the fixture for adjusting and angling the arm seems quite fragile, it could easily get moved out of place in any gig and I know I wouldn't trust it to stay in one piece with the heavier handling I'm used to. Quite light also so not as stable as it could be.

Unbelievable value

At that price my expectations weren't very high but these have blown me away. The build quality is excellent and they stand very stable whilst in use. I can't fault them at all, highly recommended.

Best mic stand in price reigon

I went for this one as the moveable bar style tightener isn't as easy to break, so this will likely be the most durable cheap mic stand to get. It is a cheap mic stand but does the job perfectly well.

Good Price, poor quality

Good price, but after a few months on the road the main adjustment swivel tightener snapped. Which rendered the stand useless. If you are careful, and nobody else will be using the stand. Then I should last a lot longer with care and causion especially when squeezing the centre position clamp. Don't go too tight, it will sheer and snap. :(

Affordable and good mic stand

I used this mic stand many times in my hope studio and here is my review for it. The mic stand is quite stable and the quality is good. The only bad thing I can say is don't screw the knobs too tight, they CAN break!

Get what you pay for

A functional boom stand, easy to set up and use. It isn't designed for substantial heavy use and as such the section that locks the boom also locks the angle it is at. A strong twist too far and this would shear if one was not careful. That said, for general mid level use it has proved fine.

Really versatile

I love this stand. The great versatility of recording/playing positions it offers is matched by it's stability and sturdy construction. It is also light and folds into a compact, easy to transport size. I would certainly recommend.

Well for value this stand gets top marks.

cheap, but not long lasting!

I bought 9 of these for a studio project 1 year ago, the last of the nine has just broken, The hinge between the boom and the stand is terribly brittle and badly designed, Most of the breakages have been through people grabbing the stand and moving the position without loosening the screw. You could say "loosen the screw then" but the breakages have not been through misuse but entirely normal use, and have happened in both live and studio situations. This kind of treatment of mic stands is ALWAYS going to happen with singers and musicians, even sound engineers, and so, one by one, they will break or get broken for you. Unless you're 100% sure that only you will use the stands, adjust them etc, and will always loosen the screw and retighten it before adjustment, spend the extra fiver and get one with a decent hinge!

Ok mic stand

This is a good mic stand for the money. But it's easy to push over, so I wish it was a little bit heavier. But overall, good quality for the money.

Perfect.

It does what it is supposed to do and it does it well, it can extend very high or very low so it is perfect for any use, its rugged and well built, Highly recommended for the price.

Good stand at economic price

I bought this as a replacement for another stand which was worn out. It does exactly what I want. Will buy this product again when the need arises

pretty good

it's not a top-dollar stand .. but hey !! it works very well and it's pretty good for the price !

I wouldn't recommend it for very heavy microphones, it's not very steady in this case, but for general studio use .. it's really a bang for the buck ..

like you don't want to pay triple this price for a stand just to use it as a pop filter mount or for lighter weight mics.. i'm not saying it won't handle a Neumann U87 .. but it will be shaky a bit if used with Rode K2 while fully extended.

conclusion: I bought 6 of these for drums, amp, room mics, guitar etc. and i'm very happy with it.

Waste of money

Took this out of the box and went to change the angle of the boom arm and 'boom' the arm came off. I was appalled. I tried fixing it, but it was truly broken.

The plus side was that I could use it as a straight mic stand, which wasn't really practical, although sufficed for practices. So at least I was able to use it in some form. Not the purpose I bought it to do.

I am very sceptical about this brand as it isn't the first time a product of theirs has broke on me the day of arrival.

I should mention that my friend got this stand latter as part of a bundle and the boom didn't fall of. However, his doesn't really support the mic very well, oftentimes drooping during a practice.
