OnStage MSA9508 Posi-Lok Sidemount Microphone Boom

Perfect for adding a second microphone or other piece of equipment to a mic stand!!

This could be a winner BUT...The manufacturing process needs to be improved. I gave it 4 stars for form function, and cost. This would be worth $60 or more had it been a cast part (toothed portion) with a treaded rod for the mic clip etc. Problem with this is the rod is tac welded on one side enabling it to bend easily while adjusting or just repositioning equipment. Heck you could bump it even. Over time the metal will become fatigued and break off. If like myself you are going to set up and tear down offen this may not be a good fit.It is built this way to save on cost butthere isn't much out there to do what it does as a mic boom.

Space is at a premium, and I have no need to constantly move the mic around, so this is perfect. It holds my very heavy microphone in place solidly, and if I do need to adjust it, it's not difficult at all. I was concerned it might not be long enough and I'd have to get an extension. Turns out, by the time I add in the shockmount, it's perfect. I'd have had to spend 10-15x more for a boom arm sturdy enough to hold my heavy microphone, and it would have taken up a lot more space. This is an excellent tool, certainly for most home recording setups.

Finally all music enthusiasts and performers who give performances sitting cross-legged should heave a sigh of relief - You now have the perfect sidemount boom stand! I noticed a situation where I had to have this boom attached to my microphone main stand which was a "PylePro PMKS40 Universal Microphone Stand with Height Adjustable" which I had purchased earlier. The main microphone stand was also a good, robust and resilient piece but it couldn't be adjusted in height to suit the singer's mouth level since both the singer and accompanists in this case sit cross-legged. Not just that - the 300 degrees rotational adjustability of this boom stand is unrivalled and helps you fine tune the level of the microphone to the optimal level for the best throughput. I don't know what I would have done without this boom stand! I would recommend this boom stand over the traditionally available stands with lever-adjusted sidemounts, also due to one more advantage - this one will also not dent or flake the paint on your main microphone stand although it is mounted at various different positions on the main stand.

Ive had good success with this piece. I use it with a straight mic stand topped with a Shure Super 55 for vocals. I put a Heil Fin on the boom arm to mic my tenor sax. The arm allows for a variety of positions, and serves to eliminate a second stand just for the horn mic. My only (small) "concern" is the length of the arm itself. If it was a bit shorter, or adjustable, it would help offset the (potential) balance issue created from having a mic hang that far off the stand. In my case, I am using a heavy microphone, so I didn't rate down the product for this reason (as I know Im pushing the issue). I doubt that if someone was attaching a lighter microphone to the arm, it would be a issue. That said, it's a great way to get rid of a second unnecessary stand cluttering up your stage. We ended up buying a total 4 for our stage and freed up a ton of floor space. A highly recommended piece.

Perfect for micing acoustic guitar on vocal mic stand. The arm swings up and down so distance varies either height; you can of course also slide whole unit up and down. A bit awkward but in the nature of things. My mic stand has very adjustable boom which makes adapting the whole configuration a bit easier for standing or sitting at different heights.

this is my first mic mount for a mic stand, and this should be standard for all mount bracket adjustment, the adjustment cogs did it !

I have been using mine for a while now. I have used it attached to a microphone stand as well as attached to the side of my desk. It works well both ways and holds my Shure SM58 just fine. This piece of hardware is great if you don't want a huge boom taking up space.

excelente producto y llegó en tiempo y forma

生楽器用にマイクスタンドのスタンド部に取り付けて使用するい目的で購入。これまではボーカル用と生楽器用の2本のスタンドを立てていましたがかさばるため不便を感じていました。このタイプの商品は以前から知ってましたが安価なものだと自由度と固定精度が不安だったためためらっていましたが思い切って購入してよかったです。ただし、固定には問題ないですが固定用のネジの先端部のゴムがつぶれてしまい変形してしまいますので☆1個マイナスです

muy bien reforzado

専用のマイクスタンドを使うのが良いのですが、譜面台の他にマイクスタンドも持って移動するのは重いし、かさ張るのでこれがあると便利です。ただ私の持っている譜面台のシャフトが細いので、ぶつかった時にシャフトが折れるのではないかと心配です。

マイクスタンドを立てる煩わしさがなさそうだったので購入しました。しかし、長さを見誤り、２～３度の使用でもう止めました。商品の評価とは関係ありませんが、購入前に長さを十分確かめておくべきでした。
