MS9701B Tripod Microphone Stand with Boom Arm

The MS9701B is a road-ready mic stand built for daily load-in and load-out. All-metal parts, including the 33" boom, clutch, shafts, end caps, and counterweight, replace the plastic pieces that usually fail first, and a scratch-resistant finish keeps the stand looking right after a season of shows. The removable boom arm angles freely, so you can place a mic over a snare, in front of a guitar cabinet, or in front of a vocalist without moving the base out of a tight footprint. Take the boom off and it works as a straight stand for speech and karaoke. Height adjusts from 36" to 64" through an ergonomic clutch grip, and the nonrotating lower shaft holds your aim while you raise or lower the mic. The 24" tripod base spread keeps the stand steady on risers, gravel, and carpet, and bolts in the leg housing let you set folding-leg tension so the legs stay where you put them over years of use. The counterweight balances heavy dynamic and condenser mics to stop the boom from creeping downward mid-set. The whole stand folds flat for stacking in a rack case or van. A sensible choice for touring bands, rehearsal rooms, houses of worship, schools, broadcast booths, and rental inventories that need stands to survive rough handling.
