The last thing any musician wants is for their stand to collapse in the middle of a performance. Make sure your stand is sturdy and can support the weight of your music sheet or equipment. The Music Stand Classic and its white version are examples of models that are built to last. The SA FIXTILT 5 is a speaker tilt adapter for 35 mm poles made of powder coated steel to adjust coverage and HF directivity by 5° up or down. SF 36 M10 Reduce Flange from 36mm to M10 In practice, the plastic sleeve that I described above made a positive impression. I’ve come across so many stands where if you loosen the screws on the stand boom, then the whole thing starts to wobble. You even see it sometimes with professionals that the microphone starts to wobble on the boom during a show, and then starts to slip due to gravity. In summary, I feel the stands are a bit unspectacular with regards to performance. They simply work and function reliably. However, it is worth noting as a plus that this is due to the significantly lower prices of the stands than those that are usually referred to as the “standard” here on the Musicians Board. I had a lot of fun testing it, and I decided to see what the 95 cm long extension stand would feel like. I screwed the extension onto the already fully extended boom on the mid-size round plate stand, and adjusted it horizontally. The stand didn’t tip over, nor did the boom sink to the ground. It was an extreme way to test it, which wouldn’t really apply in practice, but it certainly shows off the stability of the stand. The stand feet sit well in the base and are free of play.

The screws for the base, gantry angle and boom extension length were made using the 2K injection moulding process (with injected metal threads). There is a rubberised surface on the base, which ensures good grip, but is also ergonomically pleasant to handle. I certainly didn’t miss the clamp screws that other stands use. You only have to unscrew the screw a little bit to adjust the angle, and it makes a slight crunching noise. It doesn’t make any further noise when you unscrew it looser. This noise is a clear indication that there is a rubber liner in the joint. This means that the whole joint feels softer/gentler when you adjust it, but it is also possible to secure without using excessive torque and it doesn’t unintentionally shift. Traveling musicians understand the significance of a compact, portable stand. Consider options like the foldable stand, which combine portability with functionality. The GNSORC 1 is a rugged orchestra-style music stand designed for ultimate handling convenience. Height and support tilt adjustment rely on frictional force and do not require any set screws. All frictive parts are engineered for zero wear. The stand of powder coated steel features a lightweight 50 x 33.5 cm aluminium support. SAT 36 B Adjustable T-Bar for Speaker StandsHowever, as with all portable designs, there's a trade-off with sturdiness. It's essential to ensure the stand's placement on a flat surface to avoid mishaps. There has been an advertisement on the Musicians Board for quite some time, with a fresh-looking green apple and an equally green G. I don’t think I’m the only one who has been a bit curious about this. It turns out the advertised products are part of a new brand for stands for microphones, speakers, and instruments. The Gravity brand belongs to Adam Hall. The Musicians Board made it possible for me to test three items from this range. The BGMS 6 B is a heavy-duty carry bag that holds six microphone stands. The bag is made of tough 1680D nylon that is water-repellent and easy to clean, padded dividers keep the stands separate to prevent scratches. The bottom and points of stress are reinforced for extra strength, while comfortable carry straps and the heavy gauge 2-pull zipper closure provide handling convenience.

If you are someone who values aesthetics as much as functionality, solid wood stands serve dual purposes. They exude an old-world charm, blending seamlessly with classical instruments and setups. However, the trade-off for this beauty is the added weight, which can be a concern if portability is a priority.

The BGSS 2 B is a heavy-duty carry bag with 15 mm padding that can hold two speaker stands. The bag is made of tough 600D nylon that is water-repellent and easy to clean, while a padded divider keeps the stands separate to prevent scratches. Gravity reinforces all the points of stress for extra strength, and implement comfortable carry straps, and a heavy gauge single pull zipper closure on the lid to provide handling convenience.

Features

The MS 23 is a round base stand with a cast iron base measuring around 27 cm in diameter. The height is adjustable from 91 to 158 cm. The stand weighs 4.2 kg. When a microphone is mounted onto the stand, such as the LD Systems D1011 that I tested, you can create such a height that the horizontally aligned microphone is suited for singers up to 1.85 m in height. You should get an instant answer on whether your application has been successful, though in some rare cases Klarna or V12 may need to look at the application in more detail. I tried the stands out in two gigs and a few sample runs. Any wear or abrasion, especially in the fixing elements, was hardly detectable. The rubbery feet means that the stand doesn’t slip at all when placed on various floor types (wood, stone, carpet). The round base plate can also be used for this purpose, and to protect more sensitive floor types. The length adjustment clamping on the boom is on the main joint, and is done via a screw, which in turn acts on a plastic part. This means it can be secured in a safe manner that also ensures that the part is not damaged. This is where the plastic sleeve comes in pretty useful. Each screw works because the screw, or the tension created in the screw, creates enough friction in the thread that the screw can no longer come loose. This is facilitated by spring elements, such as spring or serrated washers. However, the plastic sleeve also has the same effect, as it slightly compresses the screw, and therefore builds the necessary tension. It’s a small part, but it’s quite important. When used previously, the screw didn’t come accidentally loose, and all of the microphones remained in exactly the same positions as when they were set up.

All in all, this tripod has the same features as the smaller MS 4222 B, with the only difference being that the height can be adjusted from 94 cm to 161 cm. Together with the same boom, as already described for the MS 4222 B, it can reach a maximum height of 245 cm, or, as is presumably intended, can be used as an overhead microphone for larger instruments when combined with the boom.
