K&M 210/2 Black

I've run events for years that require mic stands regularly, have used many different types and brands over the years and let me just re-state the title heading for this review.
These are the best quality mic stands vs price ratio PERIOD.
Nothing else I've come across compares with these.

Pros - build quality is fantastic for the price, locking mechanism on the arm is a very good design that doesn't damage threads easily, will last years if kept with care.

Cons - Might not be as "heavy duty" as some might require but for the price point its negligible. You would seriously be paying 4 times the price at least for the next step up in quality in my opinion.

Ive recommended these to many people who have asked me what mic stands to buy. And not one of them has regretted buying them. Some even thanked me, because there is alot of terrible stands on the market which cost more.

K&M products to me are the best stands on the market.

Used them for many years in all the conditions (studio/stage/open-air) and I had only a screw break after NINE YEARS of use on one of mine.

Other brands got its' METAL broken half of the time, which is... Not what you want, when it holds thousands euros worth of gear.

No cons.
And the price is a steal for this quality, especially compared to what stores in my area charge for K&M products.

If you want a microphone stand without any special extras - get this one. It's the best.

If you see a B-stock item, this might be my fault...

The only reason I have returned them (an overhead mic pair) was because I sent an acoustic drum kit back and just had no other use for it. Even then, I was debating if I should just keep them for the future.

There's literally nothing you can put your finger on and say 'this could be done better'. 99.99% satisfactory rate.

00.01% is you need to be aware that with heavier mics you need something more sturdy. It is super stable and solid but I had some really heavy tube & ribbon mics and I don't know if this stand could handle it fully extended. It probably could, being so well built, but that would be pushing it. Actually, the worst case scenario would be your arm just going lower with time, not even sure if that would be the case. The base legs are really wide so I don't think it could throw it off balance, everything else is build real well so I might be just overthinking.

I was using it in a very small room with weird-angled ceilings and I had no trouble adjusting it exactly like I wanted.

I was on the fence between another model with a telescopic arm but I definitely would buy this model again. It gives you a little less moving parts and a little more counterweight if needed.


A totally recommended buy.
