The TIE Studio Flexible Mic Stand PRO is a practical, affordable desktop mic stand with a mechanical structure that is reminiscent of classic angle-poise lamps with multi-directional, versatile adjustment, and it provides a handy stand that can be used on a daily basis by anyone who needs a desktop mic. The sturdy steel arm ends in a 5/8" standard thread, suitable for most microphone clamps or for mics that come with their own, and its maximum length is around 105cm, allowing for a wide range of movement both in terms of position and height. By default, a 2.5m XLR cable is part of the actual structure of the stand, so there is no need to worry about trailing cables everywhere. The Studio Flexible Mic Stand PRO can support microphones weighing up to 1.8kg.
The mechanism of the TIE Studio Flexible Mic Stand PRO is based on those of spring-loaded lamp bases, an invention developed almost 100 years ago by George Carwadine for his Anglepoise lamp. The hinges allow a great deal of freedom of movement, from completely folded up to the widest extension, and the springs ensure that the lamp stays balanced at all times. It doesn't matter that the object being moved around is a microphone rather than a lamp in this case - after all, a microphone needs to be moved at least as often as a lamp when used in a podcast with multiple speakers, for example. And if it starts to cause an obstruction, it can simply be raised and moved out of the way.
A desk stand is the ideal solution for everyone who potentially needs to record their voice from their desk, like radio presenters, podcasters, or singers in a home studio, but it can also be used by sound engineers and producers who may need it to position a talkback mic. What is particularly practical is that the TIE Studio Flexible Mic Stand Pro does not sit on the desk itself, and so takes up very little space. It is attached to the desk using a fixture that looks rather like a clamp. The arm can be freely rotated through 360° around the clamp, and the microphone can always be positioned in exactly the right place.

Home studio users occasionally need to record their vocal ideas so they don't get forgotten, and that is when speed is paramount! The computer is on, the audio console is plugged in, the DAW is running, but what about the mic? Thanks to the TIE Studio Studio Flexible Mic Stand Pro, all the user has to do is grab it and place it right in front of their mouth, without having to adjust any screws. They can then record as many takes as they wish, and when it's time to edit, all they have to do is push the microphone out of the workspace with a sweep of their hand. All of this makes the TIE Studio Studio Flexible Mic Stand Pro invaluable for streamlining the creative process.
