Tama - MS456LBK Tripod Low-Profile Telescoping Boom Stand, Height 17" to 24"

Why settle for less when you can have the best The Iron Works Tour Series MS456LBK low-profile telescoping boom stand is a testament to superior design and robust construction. This sturdy and versatile stand, with its tripod legs, is a sibling to the taller MS456BK, and it effortlessly outperforms any other stand in its class in terms of value, durability, and performance.Ideal for mic-ing drums, amplifiers, or any situation requiring lower height mic positioning, this stand is a reliable workhorse. It features a cast-grip tilter, a departure from the weak standard gripping methods of economy-grade stands. Instead, the MS456LBK utilizes two zinc die-cast pressure pads that maximize surface gripping area, ensuring optimal holding power.The stand also boasts a robust zinc, die-cast adjustment collar, a welcome upgrade from the flimsy plastic collars that often fail under pressure. This sturdy collar, coupled with a die-cast locking thumb nut, allows for faster, easier setup and breakdown. The thumb nut's larger, sure-grip design and high-quality zinc threads and walls are built to withstand pressure for years to come.One of the standout features of this stand is the Latch-lok Sleeve Insert. This innovative design addresses a common issue with boom stands - the loosening of the plastic ring inside the adjustment collar. With the MS456LBK, a specially designed ring with an anchor at the bottom sits in the mic pipe's slot, ensuring the adjustment collar's grip never fails.The stand also features an iron-core telescoping boom arm with a removable counterweight. This solid-core design ensures stability, minimizes wobble, and securely holds heavy microphones and accessories. The detachable counterweight allows for left-handed or right-handed orientation, while still allowing the T-handle to face the desired direction.In summary, the MS456LBK low-profile telescoping boom stand is a perfect blend of innovation, durability, and performance, making it an essential tool for any audio recording or performance setup.
