Millenium MS 2002 Mic Stand

I bought two of these stands intending to mic up drums for recording and live gigs. They were actually a lot smaller than I had been expecting and was disappointed at first but soon realized that this would work out to my advantage.

These stands fit perfectly within my drum kit to mic certain aspects of the kit. I have used these mic stands to mic the snare, hi-hats and floor toms. Because of the size of these stands there is no boom arms sticking out in the way of people on stage, hardware or cymbals etc.

Pros:
1) Fits perfectly around drum kits to mic snare, hats and floor toms without being in the way of anything else.

2) Due to its height this is also a great stand for miking guitar and bass cabs.

3) Extremely affordable price for the quality.

Cons:
1) I don't think there are any cons for this product to be honest.

Summary:
This is a decent product for the price which yet again proves the outstanding service from Thomann. Great sturdy mic stand that I would recommend to others who are looking for a bargain.

Having used several budget mic stands this is probably one of the best in terms of stability and build quality without spending substantially more money. I purchased two and use one regularly on snare top and kick. They're small enough to get into limited spaces in between a drum kit and the extendable boom arm is really useful when space is tight. There are some plastic elements which I can see becoming worn down with time however the attachment for the boom arm is excellent and the legs are sturdy plus these being metal is a definite benefit. I wouldn't recommend these for use in a busy music venue or on crowded stages as the plastic elements could easily be damaged or even broken, however for a home studio or some cheap backup replacement stands I can't fault them. I'd be a bit more sceptical putting heavier mic's such as larger condensers or valve mic's on these stands as I can see that they have the potential to drop or be knocked over however you could say the same about a lot of stands in this price range (and even the more expensive mic's such as K&M's are prone to this occasionally).

I admit it, when it comes down to pieces of gear that aren't fancy mics, amps or guitars... I'm a total cheap skate.
And that's where the Millenium MS-2002 mic stand came in.

I use it to mic up my amp for recording - and it's perfect for that. It provides for all the necessary adjustments to mic up a speaker cabinet appriopriately.
For studio applications, it is stable enough. In fact it is of remarkably high quality considering the price. I was half way expecting to send it back and having to spend a little more for a higher grade stand. I did not.
When used in live applications regularly, I don't know how long it woud hold up. It seems fairly sturdy and should last for quite a few gigs, but at this price? Pffft... even if it should break eventually, you could get a new one without your bank account even feeling the blow.
So if you need to mic up your amp for any purpose, go for it. You can't go wrong with this piece of kit.
