Stable Desk Mount for Microphones

The Avid DK-5 is a weighted desktop stand built for streamers, podcasters and voice-over artists who need a microphone arm without clamping to the desk. Its metal base supports up to 2.2 lb and moves freely so you can reposition it instantly. The flat profile keeps the footprint low while remaining rock-solid during energetic sessions.

Hollow Arm Routes Cables Inside

A 3/8‑inch thread and included 3/8″ to 5/8″ adapter fit common microphones such as the Blue Yeti, HyperX QuadCast, SoloCast, Shure SM7B and MV7X. The central arm is hollow, letting you thread the mic cable through the body for a clean desk surface. No extra clips or ties are required to keep wiring tidy.

360° Adjustment With Silent Operation

Multi‑axis joints allow full 360 degree rotation, tilt and swivel so the microphone can be placed at any angle for optimal vocal capture. The mechanism uses friction joints rather than gas springs, so there is no hiss or click when repositioning. Power draw is zero because the stand is entirely passive.

Questions about this item

How much weight can the DK-5 base support before it becomes unstable?

The weighted base is rated for microphones up to 2.2 lb (1 kg) and remains stable during extended recording sessions.

Does the hollow arm design help manage heat or noise from the microphone during all-day use?

The hollow arm is a cable-routing channel only; it does not affect microphone heat or noise, and the stand itself has no moving parts that generate sound.

What thread size does my microphone or shock mount need to attach directly to the DK-5 without the adapter?

The stand uses a standard 3/8-inch screw thread; the included 3/8" to 5/8" adapter covers larger mounts.
