Microphone Stands JamStands

The choice of a microphone stand depends on where and how you use it. Straight stands with a tripod base are the most stable and suitable for studio or fixed positions on stage. Boom stands have an articulated arm that allows positioning the microphone over a drum, an amplifier, or a podium without the base getting in the way of the performer. For voice-over, podcasting, or streaming, desk stands (compact, with a clamp for attaching to a table) take up little space. For radio studios or fixed recording stations, boom pole stands, with an articulated arm mounted on a wall or table, completely free up the work surface. The best-selling brands in the store are Athletic, offering robust stands at affordable prices, Gravity, with the widest range of models and finishes, and Adam Hall, with the classic S5/S6 series. Most stands have a standard 5/8" thread, with an included adapter for the 3/8" thread used by many older or cheaper microphones — check your microphone's thread before ordering if you're unsure what adapter you need.
