Get A Microphone Stand That Offer An Affordable Option That Easily Surpasses The Status Quo – TheTama MS756 Iron Works Studio Telescoping Boom Microphone StandThe flagship of TAMAs new mic stand lineupultra flexible, easily able to handle any situation where sturdy, professional mic-ing is a must: studio, stage, or anywhere in between.The Tama Iron Works Series microphone stands are built to raise expectations. Just as Tama single-handedly altered the art of drumming through their re-invention of drum hardware, they’ve turned that engineering dedication to another un-evolved category of music gear: microphone stands. Iron Works Studio stands offer professional performers and engineers all of Tamas technical advances along with unparalleled durability.VICE-GRIP BOOM TILTERThe tilter is one of the most crucial pivot points of any boom stand. TAMAs unique multi-steel-plate compression approach cinches and secures this critical axis with remarkable strength and assuredness.SURE-CAST ADJUSTMENT COLLARIron Works sturdy zinc, die-cast adjustment collar will be appreciated by users who ve been thwarted by the performance failure of flimsy plastic collars.DIE-CAST LOCKING THUMB NUTNot only does the thumb nuts larger, sure-grip design allow greater leverage for faster, easier set-up and breakdown, its high quality zinc threads and walls are built to handle pressure for years to come.IRON-CORE LEGSInstead of using common hollow metal tubing, Iron Works Studios tripod legs are solid iron. This smart, bottom-heavy design feature not only provides steadfast positioning, but also facilitates a smaller tripod footprint. TAMAs extra thick rubber foot covers float the stand, isolating the microphone from floor vibrations.LATCH-LOK SLEEVE INSERTAnyone who has used existing boom stands is familiar with the following potential mishap: Performer attempts a slight adjustment of mic stand by rotating the boom arm in the stand around few degreesbut with an undesired resultthe twisting force is just enough to loosen the plastic ring inside the adjustment collar. Having lost its grip on the upper telescoping shaft, the boom arm, and microphone, sink downward, possibly even falling to the ground. No more. Finally, TAMA has addressed this common problem by utilizing a specially designed ring with an anchor at the bottom, which sits in the mic pipes slot. The ring does not rotate, so adjustment collars grip cannot fail.SILENT T-HANDLELoosely fitted T-handles used for securing the booms angle have always been overlooked, but the negative consequence of this neglected detail can be a noticeable metallic buzzing or rattling during performance. TAMA solves this age-old problem by embedding a plastic insert inside the stem that presses against the T-handle, once the tilter is tightened.IRON-CORE TELESCOPING BOOM ARMWith its solid-core telescoping iron boom arm and removable counterweight, Iron Works boom stands safely and securely hold heavy microphones and accessories. Inside the boom arm, our rod stopper (see diagram) is made of POM, as opposed to nylon. This longer and more durable stopper ensures stability, and minimizes wobble. The detachable counterweight is key in terms of allowing the user to configure the stand with a left-handed or right-handed orientation, while still facing the T-handle in the desired direction.VICE-GRIP BOOM TILTERThe tilters crucial pivot point in any boom stand,Tamas multi-steel-plate design cinches the crucial axis with notable assuredness.IRON-CORE LEGSIron Works Studio tripod legs are solid iron.
