Heavy-Duty Elliptical Mic Stand Base
The Avid KB49 is a new elliptical desktop base that converts any standard 5/8-27 threaded extension tube into a stable microphone stand. Its all-metal construction measures 6.3 by 7.9 inches and weighs 600 grams to resist tipping during use. A 3 mm EVA anti-vibration pad isolates desk noise for cleaner recordings.
Podcasters and streamers needing a compact desktop
This base suits users who want a freestanding mount without a clamp or permanent fixture. Builders requiring a heavier counterweight for long boom arms or those needing a floor-standing tripod should look at alternative stand types. The KB49 is designed specifically for tabletop stability.
Included thread adapters broaden mounting options
The package supplies a 5/8-27 to 1/4-20 adapter and a 5/8-27 to 3/8-16 adapter alongside the native 5/8-27 male thread. These allow direct attachment of shock mounts, goosenecks, and boom arms with different thread sizes. No additional hardware is needed for common studio accessories.

Questions about this item
What thread size does my boom arm or extension tube need to screw directly into the KB49 base?
The base has a standard 5/8"-27 male thread, so any boom arm or extension tube with a matching 5/8"-27 female thread will mount directly without adapters.
Can I keep using my existing 1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16 microphone accessories with this base?
Yes, the package includes a 5/8"-27 to 1/4"-20 adapter and a 5/8"-27 to 3/8"-16 adapter, letting you attach accessories with those smaller threads.
How do I know the 3 mm EVA pad is isolating desk vibrations after I set it up?
Tap the desk surface while monitoring your microphone; a working pad will prevent the thump from reaching the capsule, giving a cleaner signal compared to a bare metal base.
