Our DS8100 Desktop Mic Stand with Rocker-Lug allows the upper mic shaft to tilt up to 40° off of vertical, eliminating the need for a separate boom arm in most situations. There are no knobs to loosen or tighten when making adjustments; simply tilt the shaft and it stays in place. The 12" shaft accepts mic clips and is a great length for desktop workstation, tabletop, and podium miking applications as well as miking kick drums and amps. Its solid, heavy base with nonslip rubber feet provides exceptional stability.
