How to choose a microphone stand: an overview of models for studios, streaming, and podcasting

High-quality sound is the key to professional content, regardless of whether you are recording a song, streaming, or recording the next episode of a podcast. Often, it all starts not only with the microphone, but also with a properly selected stand for it. It affects the comfort of work, the stability of the microphone positioning, and even the overall quality of the recording.
We create solutions that meet the requirements of modern musicians, streamers, bloggers, and sound engineers.
How to choose a microphone stand
Before buying a stand, you should decide on its type and the tasks it should perform. There are several main formats:
- Desktop microphone stand - compact, ideal for streams, conferences, video calls, and recording podcasts at home.
- Crane-type stand - a classic option with a long lever. Suitable for studios, concerts, where precise positioning over a long distance is required.
- Pantograph stand — attaches to a table or other surface, ideal for studio broadcasting and on-camera work. Provides smooth adjustment of the microphone position.
Key selection criteria:
- Microphone size and weight: make sure the stand can support your microphone.
- Stability: especially important for live broadcasts or studio work.
- Mobility: do you need to carry the stand?
- Adjustment: flexibility in adjusting the height and angle of inclination is important.
