The microphone stand makes a very sophisticated look. The foot is made of solid cast iron and also relatively heavy, so a microphone can be built very stable. A rubber ring on the underside of the foot prevents slipping on smooth surfaces and also prevents scratching of the subsoil. By means of telescopic rod can you reach about 160cm height. From the top bar extends a 5/8 "threaded microphone together with lock screw. An adapter to 5/8 threaded microphone is included in the delivery also. I use this on the one hand stand for the drum overhead mics, and secondly for the Pronomic CM-22 large diaphragm microphone along with pop protection and am so far very pleased.
