5 Best Microphone Boom Arm Stands | Musician Nerd

Most people don't consider stands like these as the mount itself and how well it does the job. I have been using this stand for many years now (which is why it's #1), and I like how simple the clamp is. It can be a bit difficult to mount at times, depending on what you're climbing to, but as long as the surface is flat, you won't have an issue.

The weight support is really good as well. If you find it’s moving around because of your microphone, you can usually just spin it around. I use a really heavy mic most of the time, and it works great.

It's hard to tell from the picture, but the LyxPro SMT-1 works well for suspending studio microphones, as the shaft can be adjusted up to 93", and the boom arm has a max length of 76". Those two factors together are some serious length!

The strength of this microphone boom arm stand is quite impressive, as I’ve tested it with some more extreme setups with really heavy equipment. The legs are locked in and really sturdy, and the telescoping arm does not sway/tilt.

The feature I like most about this is the base, which makes this stand versatile. For starters, it fits nicely on the desk so you can keep your microphone close to you. I have a raised section where my monitor goes, and I've experimented with it by using the InnorGear microphone boom arm stand to place my Shure SM7B close to my face, and it does a heck of a job.

It’s also useful if you play drums and need a microphone on the floor. I believe the original intention for this desk stand was to be used for kick drums on the ground. The rubber bottom keeps the microphone stand sturdy no matter where you use it.

This microphone boom arm stand has a maximum height of 85.75", which is pretty good for almost everyone. The boom length is also several feet so that you can make use of this stand anywhere, from the studio to the stage.

Keep in mind; the maximum microphone weight is 2lb. This is good for most people. My microphone feels a bit on the heavy side, yet it was fine with the AmazonBasics Tripod. If your microphone is too heavy, but you don't want to stretch the budget further, you can attach weights to the legs for further support.

What I really like about the InnoGear Heavy Duty Boom Stand is that even for the low price it comes in at, it also includes a pop filter and windscreen. These extra accessories are going to be really, really nice if you don’t already have them.

The pop filter is going to help reduce plosives, which is the horrible sound that happens when pronouncing P’s, B’s and T’s. The windscreen will reduce background noise as well as any wind. Windscreens aren’t always necessary but are worth experimenting with.
