Konig & Meyer Table stand for microphones - 232

Size Name: 175 mmDiameter of base is 5 inches (13 cm). Height about 7 inches.Firm but soft rubber beneath base is very good. Cast iron base is well weighted for stability.Edit: after a few months use I'm still happy with this. However, sometimes I've needed to add an extra weight of my own to the base (just threaded it over the centre column) for stability. With lightweight mics it's fine as is without this extra weight.

Bought 3 of these K&M stands to use for podcasting. Wanted something that was study and would support Shure SM7B and Rode Podmic mics. Really impressed with the quality, sturdy construction and overall weight. They come with a nice rubberised base and feel more than up to the job. They've also got just the right height for desktop mic stands.

When the current Covid problem started our family kept in touch using Zoom, as my computing equipment was not really up to the audio side of things I had to use any studio equipment available at the time, the most relevant being a 6 ft counterbalanced boom microphone stand to suspend a stereo microphone array just out of range of the camera.The desktop microphone stand now means I can simply sit at my desk with a microphone clipped in front of me. Far less hassle. It seems to handle everything I have hung on it with no problems. Not sure yet what to do with it in the future as it looks strong enough to last forever, but I'm sure I will think of something!

Clearly no standards at logistics - staff don't care. Fortuantely the stand is good German engineering so a bit of dust won't harm it. If it was something other than a couple of lumps of steel it would have been damaged

Bought this as needed a small desktop stand for my Rode NT1A mic and its perfect. So easy to set up and assemble and sturdy enough to hold the mic, which is pretty heavy. Very happy for what I paid for this item

The stand has a very heavy cast iron base which makes it very stable and gives a low centre of gravity. With my mic attached there is no chance of it toppling.It has a thick rubber foot which prevents slip, stops the stand scratching your table, and gives some vibration filtering.I'm very pleased.

I spent some time looking at various different table top mic stands before choosing this one and I'm really happy I decided on the K&M stand. What's not to like? Nothing flashy, but this thing is built to last and does the job I need it for perfectly.

I bought this to use with a Rode NT1-A and I'm not impressed.The weight of it is the only thing that keeps it stable, when you put the rod in, it feels sturdy and solid, once you mount the Rode NT1-A to it, one nudge in the direction the mic is facing and this thing is going to topple over. The base needs to be wider / larger diameter.However that's not the worst problem...I have it sitting on a very solid sturdy wooden custom built desk, the NT1-A is all mounted correctly with the shock mount etc but it picks up every touch of the table (rub or tap). The base is flat sloid to the table, the perfect sound conductor... They really didn't think the design of this out before building it... Maybe it was originally means to mic stands or lights or cameras or something but it's certainly rubbish as a short mic desk stand. I'm going to cut some foam which I bought for my yeti which solved this problem there and see if it will work for this. 3" thick foam cut to to shape for the yeti, might work for this, but I think the weight of it might compress the foam and will probably make it even more unstable.The base needs to be mounted on spring suspension spikes, thinner, have a larger base diameter and the weight.Will probably return it and buy the Rode stand. Or make something out of this one...
