Perfect for Snare Bottom

Joseph8049 26.01.2015

K&M advertise this as a table clamp, but I do not see how this can ever be used as a table clamp. The boom arm is too long for this to be practical. It does have that use, but this is definitely more at home as a serious recording clamp which will see its main use as an extra telescopic boom for microphone stands.

I bought this to record the snare bottom. It is absolutely perfect when combined with a K&M 25900. Some people use rim mounts, but I think that the less microphones attached to drum hardware when recording, the better.

It rotates 360 degrees. Is stable and doesn't droop with a SM57/C451. The clamp fastens tight so doesn't slide. It matches the quality of other K&M products.

It is slightly more expensive than I would like for what is basically a telescopic boom arm attached to a clamp, but something like this really makes recording easier so is worth the little extra money spent.

It can be used for many other things, like adding a second telescopic boom to a single mic stand for stereo recording. You could even clamp it to doors or pipes for room recording if you run out of mic stands. The clamp opens very wide which makes this very versatile and it works on both flat and round surfaces.

I am on a very tight budget, try no budget at all, so I am very picky about what I spend my money on. I am completely happy with this purchase and I will use this for a long time to come.

Save space on your desk

GearAddict46 09.06.2021

Before I had a big mic stand on my desk for my mic,

Now THIS, is a dream. The space it saves on your desk is absolutely wonderful. You just clamp it onto your desk and you're good to go. What an amazing product! The only thing that is a bit of a con is that you only have one possible axis, but that is something you can work with. For me it just fits perfectly like it should.

Very sturdy, gets the job done.

Albert R 03.09.2020

The stand is very sturdy and pretty hard to budge by knocking into it accidentally. You'll have to properly unfasten it to make adjustments, as intended.

As it doesn't come clamped around anything in shipping, you might have to reassemble part of it before first use, but that's simple enough.

I've even used it to hold more weight than advertised without a hitch, though that's probably not advisable.

Super handy stand

Sonica.be 12.02.2021

This thing makes micing up a source with multiple mics a lot easier.
for instance for snare top and bottom, no more fiddling with to many mic-stands in one place.
Every studio should have one ! (or 2 or 3 , :-) )

is difficult to find this type of product, it seems that only the K & M we have thought, very useful to fix mics around a drum, it is well made, has a thousand adjustments and seems very durable and long lasting, I would recommend.

Does its job

DaeO 07.01.2023

As long as you don’t have to much weight in it and and don’t extend it too much it does its job.
It would need a counterweight to work optimally but beware. A K&M counterweight might not fit this stand due to the design of the rod. Of course there are workarounds and i will apply these in the near future.

Wery high quality wedge stand.

Makendzis 03.12.2018

Bought it to keep my Sony PCM D100 in place while doing voice over recordings in my car. The "joints" are made very well as K&M would.
Goes very well with K&M 19695 Universal Mount. Now I use it to hold my Lumix LX100.

necessary tool where spaces are few on the ground

Anonymous 13.07.2014

is an necessary tool where spaces are few on the ground, has a very wide grip, allowing it can be hooked on any auction, on microphone stands or drum stand, seems to be lasting, for nothing econimico, very accurate, I use it for miking the drums, unfortunately the microphones that use (sm57) are too heavy and bulky to be connected with clips to the rim, recommended

perfect for the job

Klempo 08.12.2018

perfect quality, really handy to have in your studio to save space instead of grabbing an extra stand for example micing drums.
