Hi,

I just discovered this forum, which was very lucky for me.

I'm in the process of creating a home studio in a spare room, and I need some monitor stands, I think 36" high. I've been looking for reviews but haven't found much. I saw one review of Ultimate stands in which the reviewer said they topple over easily. (Maybe he didn't fill them with sand?)

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 all,

Last week I've been reading through all the posts in this forum (again)
Loads of knowledge, great. And some practical tips too. It keeps amazing me.

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?

I'm trying to find one or two mic stands that are telescoping to record live concerts from a small recital to full size orchestra or band. Just wondering what other people use and which ones are sturdy and transportable, and if some are better for stereo recording.

:cool: I recently purchased four of these from LSC in Los Angeles and am very happy with both the construction and the price ($14.95 retail.) I am told that Coffey Sound also carries them.

Courtney Goodin (aka Goodsound) makes them and says:

Hey everyone, Just curious to know what mic stands you all like to use. I'm looking for a stand that could be used in studio or live, but mostly in studio. I've been told that if you use tripod stands and one leg breaks, your screwed, so use the circular base, but not sure if thats really an issue... What do you think?

Hi I could use some opinionson the following issue,

I just bought a set of hr824's (hurray!) and due to a sudden lessening in purchasing power I am forced to consider cheap solutions for buying stands for them.

I can get a pair of quik lok bs 300 stands for less then a half of it's normal price.

I didnt want to put this post in the buget forum because, cost is not the option. Only quality.
With that said...What are some of the best mic stands out there?
Mine keep falling apart. :evil:

I have never actually BOUGHT a mic stand. Now I am in a position that I need to buy enough for my studio. If anyone could recomenend a reliable brand, I would appreciate it.

I dont need starbirds or atlas stands.
