A desktop microphone stand, or desk mic stand, is a short stand that holds a mic at speaking height on a desk or table, in round base, tripod and gooseneck styles.
About Desktop Microphone Stands
Desktop microphone stands, also called desk mic stands or table stands, hold your microphone at the right height on a desk, table or podium. They suit podcasting, streaming, voiceover, online meetings and conference use, keeping the mic stable and your workspace tidy without any mounting hardware.
Choose from round base stands for a low, stable profile, folding tripod stands for portable setups, gooseneck stands for flexible positioning, and telescopic height-adjustable models. Most use the universal 5/8" thread, so they work with standard microphone clips and shock mounts. If you would rather keep the desk surface completely clear, a clamp-on arm from our microphone boom arms range is the next step up, stage work is covered by floor microphone stands, and the full range lives under microphone stands.
Desktop Mic Stand FAQs
Are desk mic stands and desktop microphone stands the same thing?
Yes. Both names describe a short stand that sits on a desk or table and holds the microphone in front of you. The same products are sometimes listed as table microphone stands.
Will a desktop stand fit my microphone?
Most desktop stands use the universal 5/8" thread, which matches standard mic clips and shock mounts, and a 3/8" thread adapter covers most other mounts. Check heavier microphones against the stand's base weight for stability.
Should I get a desktop stand or a boom arm?
A desktop stand is quicker to set up, needs no desk edge to clamp onto and moves anywhere. A desk-mounted boom arm keeps the desk surface clear and holds the mic closer to your mouth, which suits permanent podcast and streaming setups.
