Floor Microphone Stands

About Floor & Boom Microphone Stands

Floor microphone stands hold vocal and instrument mics at performance height on stage, in the studio and in rehearsal rooms. Boom stands add an adjustable arm for precise mic placement without crowding the performer, while straight stands with a round base keep a compact footprint that suits vocalists on tight stages. All stands in the range use the universal 5/8 inch thread, compatible with most microphones and mic clips.

The range runs from affordable SWAMP tripod boom stands like the MS-003 through to premium König & Meyer (K&M) stands, the long-standing German brand regarded as the industry standard for reliability. Specialty models include low-profile kick drum stands for close miking bass drums and guitar amps, plus one-hand height adjustment stands for fast changeovers. Working at a desk instead? See our desktop mic stands, extend a stand with a spare mic stand boom, or wire up with XLR microphone cables.

Floor Mic Stand FAQs

What is the difference between a boom and a straight mic stand?

A boom stand has a horizontal arm that extends the microphone away from the base, giving precise placement over guitars, drum kits and keyboards while keeping the stand clear of the performer. A straight stand holds the mic directly above the base, which is simpler and suits stand-up vocalists.

Should I choose a tripod or round base mic stand?

Tripod bases are lighter and fold up for transport, making them the common choice for gigging musicians. Round base stands take up less floor space and are harder to trip over, which suits vocalists on crowded stages.

Will these stands fit my microphone clip?

In almost all cases, yes. The floor stands in this range use the universal 5/8 inch thread, which fits the vast majority of microphone clips and shock mounts on the market.
