Compact desktop microphone stand

The Avid Upgraded101S is a weighted desktop microphone stand finished in black, measuring 14.33in wide, 12.83in high and 9.06in deep. A 5.07in diameter metal base weighing 1.5 lbs and three non-slip pads keep the stand stable on any flat surface. The metal tube supports microphones up to 3.3 lbs and adjusts in height from 9.5in to 14in using a secure screw-in knob. A 5/8in to 3/8in metal thread adapter is included for broad microphone compatibility.

Podcasters, streamers and mobile creators

This stand suits anyone recording podcasts, streaming, gaming or attending video conferences at a desk who wants a compact, portable solution that fits in a laptop bag. It also works for kick-drum miking and other close-mic applications where a short stand is required. It is not for users who need a floor-standing boom arm, an overhead reach beyond the desk edge, or a mount for tablet devices, as the phone clip accepts screens up to 25in only.

Height range and load capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the adjustable height range of 9.5in to 14in combined with a 3.3 lb maximum load. If your microphone and shock mount exceed that weight, or if your working position requires the capsule to sit higher than 14in from the desktop, this stand will not meet the requirement.
