K&M 259 Black

Real quality mini boom, I bought two, it's just amazing quality kit for the money. I rate K&M very highly, they build products that last.

very firm, well build.
I use it to record my ethnic instruments, this thing surely can twist and turn at all angles in needed it, and always stay stable.

I have learned from experience it isn't worth buying cheaper with mic stands, and K&M's after sales parts list means refurbishing worn parts decades later is possible (I have just done this with 10 full-sized stands). Full sized stands are unwieldy and obtrusive for seated use, and the K&M 259 is perfect for vocal mics and instrumental mics when musicians are seated, with a good range. I don't usually like telescopic booms, but with these small stands it makes a lot of sense, as you can minimise the amount of unnecessary boom used.

I’ve used these a lot in college and wedding gigs and it works well with my SM57 - including the mic clip from Shure! Highly recommend going for this rather than a cheaper one I’ve had issues with those.

Very high quality, as always with K&M stands

There are better stands available but these are great for the price in a studio or on live gigs.

Sometimes heavier mics will make this move out of place. Still a good stand.

Does the job, easy to setup once you get the hang of it and it goes deceptively low to the ground. I was able to mount my other mic on it as well, despite it being a vocal mic with a shock mount - you know the one.

First time ever buying this type of product and honestly the recommendation under the SM57 was this stand, pretty happy with it.

You really can’t better these stands they’re solid heavy but not unmanageable. There’s no better place than thomann to buy from.

For the price it's a great stand. After some years of use it starts failing a bit, but if you need a quick fix to hold a mic it's great.
