A good microphone stand helps position your microphone securely and consistently while keeping your hands free for performing, presenting, playing an instrument or operating other equipment.

The right stand depends on how the microphone will be used, how much adjustment is required and whether the setup needs to be portable, permanent or compact.

If you still need a microphone, browse our microphones for wired, wireless and professional options.

Boom Microphone Stands

Boom microphone stands include an adjustable horizontal or angled arm that allows the microphone to be positioned closer to the performer without placing the main stand directly in front of them.

This makes boom stands especially useful for:

• Singers & Vocalists – Flexible microphone positioning on stage.
• Guitarists & Musicians – Position the mic while keeping space clear for instruments.
• Recording Studios – Useful for vocals, instruments and flexible microphone placement.
• Drums & Instruments – Depending on stand size and microphone application.
• Live Sound – Versatile positioning for performers and instruments.

Straight Microphone Stands

Straight microphone stands provide a simple vertical support and are commonly used for vocals, speeches, presentations and fixed microphone positions.

They can provide a clean stage appearance and are particularly useful where a boom arm is unnecessary.

Desktop Microphone Stands

Desktop microphone stands are compact stands designed for microphones used at desks, tables and workstations.

They are useful for podcasting, streaming, voiceovers, online meetings, radio-style setups and other spoken-word applications where a full-height floor stand would be unnecessary.

For dedicated podcast equipment, browse our podcasting equipment where available.

Broadcast Microphone Arms

Broadcast-style microphone arms attach to a desk or workstation and allow the microphone to be moved into position when required and pushed away when not in use.

They are particularly popular for podcasts, streaming, radio, voiceover and content creation because they save desk space and offer flexible microphone positioning.

Microphone Stands for Singers

Singers need a stand that holds the microphone securely while allowing comfortable positioning throughout a performance.

A boom stand can provide more flexibility, while a straight stand offers a simpler and cleaner setup for performers who remain in one position.

Browse our wired microphones if you're building a complete live vocal setup.

Microphone Stands for Bands & Live Music

Bands may use several microphone stands across one stage for lead vocals, backing vocals, instruments and amplifiers.

Using the right stand for each position helps keep the stage organised and allows microphones to remain securely positioned throughout the performance.

Microphone Stands for DJs

A microphone stand can also be useful for DJs who regularly make announcements, MC events or use a microphone during performance.

A compact boom or desktop-style stand can position the microphone beside a DJ booth while keeping the DJ's hands free for mixing.

Microphone Stands for Podcasting

For podcasting, microphone position is important for consistent speech levels and comfortable recording.

A desktop stand or adjustable broadcast arm can keep the microphone close to the speaker without taking up unnecessary desk space.

Microphone Stands for Recording Studios

Studio recording can require more flexible microphone placement than live performance. Boom arms make it easier to position microphones around vocalists, acoustic instruments, amplifiers and other sound sources.

Consider the stand's height adjustment, boom length, stability and footprint when choosing equipment for a recording environment.

Tripod vs Round Base Microphone Stands

Microphone stands commonly use either tripod-style legs or a weighted base.

• Tripod Stands – Fold for transport and are widely used for live performance and mobile setups.
• Round or Weighted Base Stands – Offer a compact floor footprint and can provide a clean appearance on stage.

The best choice depends on floor space, portability and the microphone position required.

Low-Level Microphone Stands

Short or low-level microphone stands can be useful for positioning microphones near guitar amplifiers, drums and other sound sources close to floor level.

These specialist stands can provide a more stable and compact solution than attempting to position a full-height stand very low.

Microphone Stand Thread Sizes

Microphone stands and clips can use different thread sizes, so adapters may be required when combining equipment from different manufacturers.

Do not force incompatible threads together. Check the specifications of the stand, microphone clip, shock mount or accessory before fitting.

Microphone Clips & Accessories

A microphone stand usually requires a compatible clip, holder or shock mount to support the microphone itself.

Some microphones include a suitable clip while others may require one separately.

Browse our microphone accessories for clips, holders and related equipment.

How Tall Should a Microphone Stand Be?

The required height depends on the performer and application. Vocal stands need enough adjustment for standing or seated performers, while instrument and desktop applications may require much shorter stands.

Choosing a stand with a suitable adjustment range gives you more flexibility across different users and applications.

Choosing the Right Microphone Stand

Before buying, consider:

• Application – Vocals, instruments, podcasting, studio or presentation use.
• Boom or Straight – Decide how much positioning flexibility you need.
• Height Range – Ensure the stand reaches the required position.
• Base Type – Tripod, weighted base or desktop mounting.
• Stability – Consider microphone weight and boom extension.
• Portability – Important for musicians, DJs and mobile users.
• Thread Compatibility – Check clips, shock mounts and other accessories.
• Available Space – Particularly important around desks and crowded stages.
