I know you must be wondering about which microphone stands are good for certain occasions. So, to make it easier to understand, here are some stands that I personally like and recommend for every setting!
First of all, straight stands are often seen at schools and award ceremonies! Here is a standard one!
K&M / 20120B (ST201/2B) Straight Microphone Stand
Many people probably think of this when they think of microphone stands.
The three-leg type is popular because it’s stable, lightweight, and easy to carry.
I have the impression that straight stands with a circular base are often used for stand-up comedy.
The leg is more compact than the 3-leg type, but the base is heavier for this type of stand.I recommend this one if you rarely move the stand!
This is a little off topic, but the microphone often used for manzai is the SONY C-38B, isn't it? It’s also known as a manzai microphone! Please see below for the price.
I recommend this product for those who want to do full-fledged stand-up comedy performances!
I have a product that I recommend to those who frequently adjust the height with a straight stand. This stand allows you to adjust the height by simply grabbing the handle!
This is a really convenient and revolutionary microphone stand that can be quickly and easily adjusted with one hand.
Next is a boom microphone stand used in live houses!
What do you think is the best feature of a boom mic stand?

That's right! You can bring the microphone a little further away from the stand! This allows you to bring the microphone to your mouth while playing a guitar or other instrument without the stand getting in the way. This means that you can hold the microphone close to your mouth while playing a guitar or other instrument and the stand will not get in the way! The disadvantage is that you can put a heavier microphone on the stand!
The disadvantage is that the boom tends to drop when a heavy mic is attached, but this is not a problem with dynamic mics used in live performances!
CLASSIC PRO / MSB/BLACK Boom Microphone Stand
I recommend this stand because it’s the most affordable for this kind of strong stand. By the way, if you turn the boom part, you can also use it as a straight stand, killing two birds with one stone!
K&M's microphone stand is still the standard.
K&M / 21020B (ST210/2B) Boom Microphone Stand
Each part is well made and can be used with confidence!
I also recommend this product as an accessory. It is a convenient product to have!
These two can be attached to the middle of a microphone stand. They are useful when there is no space for a guitar microphone stand when playing classical guitar or other instruments! “But I want to record the guitar sound!” Just attach this accessory to the boom stand and you can set up a microphone for guitar!
By the way, the K&M/258 can also be attached to a silver rack and used as a microphone stand for work from home. It takes up very little space.
This was a long article, so I'll leave it at that for this issue. Next time, I’m going to talk about tabletop microphone stands recommended for work from home!
