K&M 23860 BK

It is a very useful aid in recording conditions where portability, space and cabling matter. It is ideal for mobile project studios (consisting of a laptop, channel strip, near-field monitors, phones and a favourite microphone) which can be unpacked from a suitcase and set up within few hours, and operated by a single person which is both musician and engineer.
It is stable and can stand weights of bulky microphones, such as a large-membrane Neumann with elastic suspension. Built-in high quality microphone cable contributes the cleanliness of a working space and will work with any monophonic fantom-powered microphone.
I would prefer if the lowest joint would allow for flexing vertical angles sharper than 70 degrees. It would greatly add to its usability. A bit more ease and flexibility in resetting the mike position wouldn't harm anyone.

I'm using this in a slightly odd manner in that its attached to a speaker stand for live use so it allows me to play guitar or piano with a long mike stand that is easily set for odd positions.

The arm comes with a high quality cable built in which is excellent though replacement would need total disassembly of the arm. This internal structure is very neat and the arm looks very expensive and tidy. There are metal bands to alter as opposed to springs so its silent too.

The clamp is interesting but not the best it does require a lot of tightening and can still slip occasionally. Unfortunately the arm itself dislikes being moved. Once set unless you re tighten each joint the arm will sag and the mic will droop. It's still a very classy looking piece of kit and it will no doubt last forever but if you need to reset your mic position every few seconds it may not work for you.
