Many people underestimate the role of accessories in recording, believing that the main thing is the microphone and the audio interface. However, it is the microphone stand that forms the foundation for stable, clean, and controlled sound. It isolates the microphone from unnecessary vibrations of the table or floor, minimizes the transmission of mechanical noise, and allows the artist or speaker to maintain natural articulation without strain.

An improperly selected stand can cause parasitic noises, an unstable microphone position, and discomfort during recording. In contrast, a high-quality Maximum Acoustics stand provides not only reliable fixation but also ergonomics that directly affects the quality of content — from a home podcast to a large concert performance.

In this guide, we will consider which model to choose for specific tasks — for bloggers, musicians, studios, and rental companies.

Compact desktop solutions. Home recording and the first steps in podcasting

For streamers, bloggers, and beginners, a compact desktop microphone stand is ideal. It takes up minimal space, is easy to transport, and provides basic isolation from surface noise.

The Maximum Acoustics HERON.18 (142 UAH) model is a lightweight metal solution with a height of 18 cm and a weight of only 0.1 kg. It is made in black color, has rubber non-slip feet to reduce vibration transmission, and is compatible with most handheld microphones. Thanks to its compactness, this microphone stand is practically invisible on the desk, which is especially important for video blogging. A pleasant bonus is the 36-month warranty, which confirms the reliability of the construction.

If greater flexibility is needed, pay attention to Maximum Acoustics HERON.35 (375 UAH). It is height adjustable from 18 to 35 cm, has a massive round base with a rubber anti-vibration pad, and weighs 1.2 kg, which adds stability. This is an excellent stand for podcasts when it is important to precisely set the microphone level relative to the speaker’s mouth.

For those who value maximum positioning flexibility, it is worth considering Maximum Acoustics GOOSE.32 (549 UAH). The “gooseneck” type design allows the microphone to be fixed at any angle. The flexible metal hose with PVC coating is resistant to loads and moisture, and the solid metal disc in the base guarantees stability even during intensive use. Such a Maximum Acoustics stand will become a universal solution for studios, online lessons, or streaming.

Workplace ergonomics. Maximum space and mobility

When the desk is overloaded with equipment, the best solution is a microphone pantograph that is attached directly to the edge of the table.

The Maximum Acoustics STUDIO.P50 (883 UAH) model is equipped with a strong screw clamp and allows the microphone to be placed in any convenient position thanks to the double structure of 50 + 50 cm. The metal корпус ensures durability, and smooth movement makes this desktop microphone stand ideal for a home studio or professional podcasting. The 36-month warranty adds confidence in the choice.

For instrumental recording or universal use, Maximum Acoustics CRANE.5M (142 UAH) is suitable. This is a desktop “crane” with height adjustment of 430–450 mm, a strong round base, and a weight of 1.6 kg, which ensures reliable fixation. Such a boom stand allows you to precisely position the microphone for recording guitar, podcast, or vocals without the risk of tipping over.

Stage and floor stands. Universal solutions for stage and studio

The classic remains the straight microphone stand, which is suitable for conferences, vocals, and studio work. Maximum Acoustics HERON.158RB (798 UAH) is height adjustable from 850 to 1580 mm, has a strong round base with a diameter of 242 mm, and weighs 2.5 kg, which ensures stability. A cable clip helps maintain order on stage or in the studio.

For concerts and rental companies, Maximum Acoustics CRANE.10 (693 UAH) will be an excellent choice. This is a lightweight but reliable boom stand that is adjustable from 80 to 185 cm, has a boom arm length of 75 cm, and rubber pads on the tripod for stability. The construction withstands aggressive эксплуатацію, which makes it ideal for rental.

If increased stability is required, pay attention to Maximum Acoustics CRANE.15RB (946 UAH). It is equipped with a solid metal disc in the base, is height adjustable from 900 to 1600 mm, and has an arm length of 700 mm. Such a microphone stand works confidently both in the studio and on stage.

Professional series (Heavy Duty). Maximum reliability for large tasks

When it comes to overheads, choirs, or large stages, a professional microphone stand with an extended adjustment range is required.

Maximum Acoustics CRANE.95PRO (1634 UAH) is height adjustable from 700 to 2000 mm, has a massive metal base, and weighs 3.08 kg, which guarantees maximum stability. The strong construction withstands significant loads and is suitable for difficult stage conditions.

An even more technological solution is Maximum Acoustics CRANE.95LIFT (1978 UAH). It is equipped with an ergonomic one-hand quick height adjustment system, supports various types of holders, and has a reinforced construction made of thick-walled tubes. Thanks to its weight of 3.6 kg and anti-slip supports, this Maximum Acoustics stand ensures stability even with heavy studio microphones.

When choosing a stand, it is important to consider the work format, microphone weight, space, and intensity of use. For a home podcast, a compact desktop microphone stand is suitable; for a studio — a microphone pantograph; for a stage — a boom stand or a straight microphone stand; and for large-scale projects — a professional Heavy Duty series microphone stand.

Choosing Maximum Acoustics, you get not just metal, but 3 years of confidence in every recording.
