Hello,

More and more I feel the need for close Micing Choirs with four microphones across the front. For this purpose, I am looking for an unobstrusive microphone stand. This will be mostly for concert situations, so it has to look neat and can not be too bulky.

Ben, you in particular I've seen mention that you use tall light stands for microphone stands. I want to do that as well--but not before I know how to adapt the 5/8" threads to 5/8"-27 (standard) microphone stand threads. How do you do it?

Alright, I have a studio projects B1 mic, And It came with a shockmount, But the part on the shockmount that fits screws on to the stand is to small.

I do not have a "real" studio.

My mic stands transmit(To my mics) vibration from other rooms, down the street, maybe the next town, I don't know? I remembered, from my astronomy research, something that is used for such vibration dampening on amateur telescope tripods.

Just getting started but trying not to waste any money.

I'm looking at K&M mic stands. Should I be going for a fixed or telescopic boom? Shorter stand and longer boom or the other way round?

I will generally be recording either a standing singer or a seated speaker.

The specifications of the models I'm considering are as follows:

hi guys. i'm looking to get a bunch of mic stands that don't completely suck (like almost every mic stand i've ever used). i've had good luck with tama in the past, but is there much around that's a more...heavy duty? also, where's a good cheap place to buy stuff like stands, cables etc?

thanks!

I am constantly buying mic stands. I buy the cheap ones...well because they are cheap. Their easy to replace, but they are also easy to break.

I'd like to stop and just have a nice set of good mic stands. Is there any particular brand/model out there that can stand up to some mild abuse?

Okay, perhaps a stupid but honest question...

I was wondering if any one knew where to get a mic stand 5/8"-F to
1/2"-M NPS pipe thread adapter for RCA & R44
Microphones. I have a 74B RCA mic and I lost the
adapter.
