Microphone Accessories

Tripod Microphone Stand

These types of stands are very versatile and used in a wide variety of situations. They feature a three-legged tripod base that provides superior stability while still being very easy to fold and carry, making them ideal for musicians on the go.

Microphone Boom Arm Stands

These specialized stands feature an extendable boom arm, making them ideal for situations where you need the mic to get over physical obstacles, such as drum kits, guitar amps, or even ensembles of musicians.

Desktop Desktop Mic Stand

As the name suggests, these are mini-sized stands designed to fit perfectly on a desktop or other limited-space setup. They are especially popular in podcasting scenarios where desktop accessibility is crucial.

Low Profile Stands

These stands are uniquely designed with a shorter height, making them perfect for miking low-frequency instruments like kick drums and guitar amps. Their low profile ensures you capture the correct audio levels from these specific instruments.

Round Base Desktop Mic Stand

Known for their thick, round base, these stands provide ultra-stable support for your microphone. However, due to their weight and design, they are less portable than other types and therefore more suitable for stationary settings.

Tripod Microphone Stand
Tripod stands are one of the most popular, if not the most popular, type of stand everyone uses. The tripod stand usually falls into the “standard stand” category.
They tend to feature one vertical pole that holds a mount or mic clip at the top. The height of a tripod mic can be easily adjusted to suit different individuals.
Like most straight mic stands, the tripod stand has a solid base with three legs, each with rubber feet. Relatively affordable, this type of stand is known for being easy to use and fold away.
The downside to this type of stand is that the vertical pole stands too close to the performer, leaving little room for instruments.

Tripod Boom Microphone Stand
This is a variation of the tripod mic stand. The tripod boom stand features the same three legs but has either a fixed or an extendable boom arm.
Also known by the name boom mic stands, They're applicable for both live performances and studio recordings.
A boom arm is a pole that goes through the clamp and is attached to the top of a stand. This provides the stand with more flexibility and comfort.
More importantly, it allows for more space between the performer and the vertical pole, allowing vocalists to comfortably sing while playing guitars and other instruments.
In addition to vocals, boom stands are widely used in miking guitar amps and as an alternative for overhead mic stands.
A boom mic also has a lower risk of any trips, as you won't need to stand as close.

Round Base Microphone Stand
A round base mic stand type is another common variation. It's usually made out of die-cast metal. Round base stands have a circular, weighted base, giving anyone enough stability whilst still being able to move it around to perform.
A typical round base stand will consist of a straight pole with a mount at the top and a circular weighted base. Most vocalists prefer to use round bases when performing because they are harder to trip over.

Overhead Microphone Stand
Sometimes confused with the tripod boom microphone stand, overhead microphone stands typically have a more resilient and robust construction designed to accommodate drum overhead mics. They're on the pricier side of mic stand types, but well worth the money.
The base of an overhead stand usually features a solid, steel, triangular base with several legs. Some of these overhead mic stands come with lockable wheels to facilitate ease of use. Adjustments in position are much easier if you can roll and lock them in place.
This type of mic stand is most commonly used in music recording studios because it is better equipped for picking up the room ambiance.

Low-Profile Microphone Stand
Also known as short mic stands, low-profile mic stands are essentially mini versions of the classic tripod boom arm.
Low-profile mic stands are normally used to record sounds and audio closer to the floor. It doesn't occupy that much space compared to a tripod boom stand and is easier to use when getting the right angle for recording kick drums and guitar cabs.

Desktop Microphone Stand
Desktop mic stands or desk mounts are used to record audio while sitting at a desk. They are regularly used in music studios but most commonly found in Podcast Studios and live-stream shows.
Aside from their small stature, they look and perform the same as a tripod or round base stand.

Pop Filter
Pop filters are placed between the mics and the vocalist. When in position, a pop filter will prevent any excessive plosive or popping sounds from the speech or singing microphone. This accessory is vital if you want to produce clear and crisp audio.
Also referred to as a pop shield, a pop filter can be attached to a boom arm stand.

Mic Boom Arm
Not all stands come with a mic boom arm. Therefore, booms can be a good piece of equipment to add to your stock mic stand setup.
Like with the tripod boom stand, we can use boom stands to give ourselves a greater range of movement. Boom arms are attached to the straight stand, and the microphone is then attached to the boom arm via a mic clip.
The size and shape of boom stands can vary widely. And there is a seller for all sorts of booms, telescoping boom arm, desk boom arm, podcast boom arm, and so on.

Shock Mount
A shock mount is used to hold condenser microphones in place. They are specifically designed to reduce low-frequency vibrations and thumps. These shock absorbers take any little movement from the condenser, giving you a clear audio free from bumping or shaking sound.

Smartphone or Tablet Mount
Using a tablet mount stand, you can position your devices in a way that makes it easier for you to perform and record. This is much easier than trying to read your device from a desk or with your hand.

This is especially useful in VO or live band situations where the talent or the singer doesn't have to hold a smartphone or a tablet. I personally request this from the venues, or bring mine along when performing.

Headphone Rack
When recording in a music studio, a headphone rack can come in handy for those times you need a break. Instead of putting your headphones away, you can simply place them on a convenient headphone rack on your stand.
Most musicians use a headphone rack in the studio to keep everything organized.
