On-Stage SMS7650 Hex-Base Studio Telescoping Mic Boom Stand

The SMS7650 is long enough to be used for overheads and comes with casters for moving around easily even with heavy microphones mounted.

It's often used for holding 2 mics at a time and also as a vocal mic stand for drummers.

Features:

  • 3-section vertical shaft
  • Height adjusts from 40" to 82"
  • Boom: 82" with counterweight
  • 7" mini-boom adapter
  • 17 lb. Base w/ removable casters
  • Base Spread: 24" with casters or 18" without casters

Pros

Reviewers report that this stand will hold the heaviest microphones in position without problem. Sturdy and stable are words that come up frequently in customer reviews.

Cons

A few people said that although it works well in a studio setting that it's not built for regularly taking to gigs or taking on the road. One person said the casters can get a bit squeaky if not lubricated. There were a small number of people who said it wasn't stable for them, but they were very much in the minority.

Overall

Better suited to studio use although some report using it live for overheads on drums and choirs.
