How to Build a Flex Microphone Stand

In live sound applications, you may need a microphone stand that has a flexible neck. This type of stand is also referred to as a goose-neck stand. Goose-neck stands allow you to quickly adjust the placement of the microphone on the instrument or vocal that you are amplifying. With a traditional mic stand you must first unlock the stand's arms in order to change the microphone's orientation.

Things You'll Need

  • Metal mic stand base
  • Rigid mic stand pole
  • Goose-neck mic stand attachment
  • Microphone clip

Instructions

    • 1

      Place the mic stand base on the ground.

    • 2

      Thread the bottom of the rigid pole into the hole in the center of the base. This will create the basic structure of a microphone stand.

    • 3

      Screw the goose-neck attachment on to the threaded top of the rigid pole. The top half of the mic stand is now flexible.

    • 4

      Screw the microphone clip on to the threads at the end of the goose-neck stand. You can now place a microphone of your choice into the clip and use your flexible mic stand.
