About Microphone Stands
In the world of audio recording, the venerable microphone stand is the quiet workhorse that literally brings it all together. A good mic stand is worth its weight in gold records.
Selecting a microphone stand is really about figuring out the sound source you want to record. Sure, clips and shockmounts can be switched out to fit different mics, but think about which microphones you prefer. For example, a vintage large diaphragm tube condenser weighs substantially more than a small e609-style dynamic mic. If you've got a larger mic, you need a heavier-duty stand with a heavier boom counterweight to go with it. Nobody wants to be the guy who let the studio's prized vintage mic topple into the drum kit.
Speaking of drums, there are some great mic stands specifically for positioning drum mics high, low, and in the nooks and crannies. If you have ever tried to position drum overheads by making do with regular stage stands extended to their physical limits, you know how awesome it is to have a set of tall, rolling overhead stands with long counterweighted booms. It is night and day in terms of getting the sound you're after, and it's a lot safer for your microphones (and your drummer's head).
Another must-have that is incredibly versatile is the short kick drum stand. These are great for positioning kick mics, yes, but they are also superb for guitar and bass amps, cellos, acoustic guitars, and even vocals. Yes, we said vocals. Recording a lead vocal in the studio control room is standard practice. Space in the control room is often quite limited, and a sturdy short mic stand works great on a desktop. They are also super handy for other drum kit applications like miking the bottom snare head.
Sometimes, it just boils down to quantity. Having a few spare short mic stands is always a good idea. You never know what unusual or bizarre instrument will walk through the studio door. On that note, it never hurts to have a good supply of standard vocal mic stands on hand, as well. That's why we offer great multi-stand bundles. You can pick up a bunch of basic mic stands on any budget. We also have bundles with upgraded features like telescoping booms, heavy-duty clutches and hardware and even 20' XLR cables included.
If you have questions about picking the right mic stand for specific applications or to suit a particular type of microphone, we're happy to help you sort it out. Our Sales Engineers are knowledgeable about all aspects of microphone use and placement. We have our own full-fledged studios for training where we get to try out all the latest gear, including every microphone stand we have. Sweetwater will help you get exactly what you need.
