The K&M 27105 from the German manufacturer's Baseline series is a classic, affordable microphone stand with a clean and functional design. It's height-adjustable up to 1.6m, making it ideal for standing vocalists as well as for miking all handheld orchestral instruments. The height is set via a single adjustable main tube, while the robust steel construction, three metal feet, and hardwearig synthetic moving parts ensure steady positioning on virtually any floor, providing a reliable foundation for recording or live use with almost any microphone.
The K&M 27105 offers flexible height adjustment from 0.9 to 1.6 metres via a clamping sleeve that can be securely fixed with a simple tightening motion, ensuring quick and reliable setup. Precise alignment of the microphone is achieved through a one-piece swivel arm, adjusted using a wing nut on the boom arm clamp for accurate positioning of the sound source. At the end of the boom arm, a microphone clip with a 3/8” threaded connection can be attached, typically supplied with many microphones; the stand ships with two black clips for tidy cable routing and effective strain relief, keeping the overall appearance clean and professional.
This affordable microphone stand offers flexible positioning for instruments at ear level and, thanks to its sturdy construction, is built to last for many years. The 80.5cm swivel arm allows any handheld instrument to be miked at the perfect distance, while the black finish keeps the stand unobtrusive on stage during live performances. When folded, the stand is compact and space-saving for easy transport and storage. Users can also buy a water-resistant carrying bag made of tear-resistant nylon, featuring two shoulder straps and inner pockets for additional accessories.
Founded in 1949, König & Meyer (K&M) initially produced music stands and measuring tools. Just two years later, the range was expanded to include instrument stands and microphone tripods, which are still the core business of the manufacturer today – and are still manufactured in their facilities in Wertheim, Germany. K&M also produces musicians' stools, stands for speakers, monitors, and lighting, and a range of accessories for mobile devices, such as tablet mounts. To satisfy the company's own exacting standards, even the individual metal and plastic components continue to be manufactured primarily in the company's factory in Wertheim, with particular emphasis placed on environmentally friendly and sustainable production.
The K&M 27105 is ideal for capturing a singer or trumpet player using a suitable microphone, with the adjustable boom arm providing enough distance from the stand to allow freedom of movement without accidental contact. Its robust design keeps the microphone stable even during energetic performances, ensuring consistent sound capture. The stand is also effective at picking up higher sound sources, especially if two 27105s are used as a pair – as a drum overheads, for AB miking of a choir, or for capturing multiple stacked guitar amplifiers with ease and precision. The smooth swivel and height adjustments allow quick setup and fine-tuning for any recording or live situation.
