Best Mic Stand for SE Reflexion Filter

[nathanhall]

I checked out a few threads on this board, but couldn't find anything conclusive as to a good stock mic stand to use with this thing that doesn't fall over due to the weight of the filter. I tried weighing down my tripod with dumbells, but that doesn't work particularly well on the carpet I have, which could be the fundamental problem. What are people currently using, and does anyone have any suggestions? I will primarily be recording acoustic guitars (sitting) and vocals (standing). I'd ideally like to shell out less money for the mic stand than I did for the Reflexion filter.

Thanks,

Nathan

i have a QuikLok A50 and it is quite formidable:

it is sturdy, heavy as hell, and worth the money.. i paid $180 for it when i bought it but the link i provided is much cheaper.

i think it is a great stand and you would never worry about your expensive tube mic suddenly droppping to the ground and being destroyed.


hope that helps,

just use two stands...one for your mic and one for the filter.
that way you don't need their (way too heavy) adapter - the screen can be fitted on a standard mic stand.

I'm using an Ultimate Support MC-125. I like it - well made, sturdy, nice boom, heavy adjustable counterweight. Did cost about $200. Worth it in my experience.
Would be worth it without the filter, and it does hold the filter just fine.
Also, I like the filter. My room is treated, but still has compromises - and is one room track&mix. The filter damped the remaining hard drive noise and room reflections to inaudibility.

Going through the same dilemma right now myself. I decided on an Atlas MS25 non-boom stand. I figure that since I'm primarily using this on vocals, I'll just mount this lower down the stand and use a separate boom for things like acoustic guitar. For electric I'm just going to take the filter off the mounting and put it on the floor behind the mic as others have suggested here.
