K&M 23850 Stand

A Classic in Radio Studios, Designed for Everyday Use

This articulated studio microphone stand follows the tradition of "broadcast" equipment: an arm designed to be frequently handled, remain reliable, and ensure a clean setup around a console, audio interface, or computer. Widely used in radio studios, it meets the same requirements in home studios: efficiency, compactness, and stability, even when repositioning the microphone between takes.

Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?

This articulated arm is suited for any setup where you want to keep the microphone within mouth reach while freeing up workspace. It is especially suitable for podcasters, hosts, streamers, journalists, voice actors, and musicians recording close-up spoken or sung takes. Practically, it facilitates a consistent microphone distance, improves playing or presenting comfort, and avoids having a floor stand that obstructs movement or video framing.

Ergonomics and Stability: An Arm That Holds Your Settings

Quick Adjustment, Precise Placement

The principle of an articulated arm is simple: you position the microphone exactly where you need it, then you can move it away with a single gesture when typing on a keyboard, adjusting a controller, or consulting notes. Thanks to its adjustable arm length, you can adapt the setup to your workstation, whether above a screen, on the side of a desk, or facing a mixing console.

Position Holding for Consistent Takes

In both studio and podcasting, consistency is essential: variations in distance, axis changes, and unwanted movements can alter the tonal quality and level. Here, the arm maintains the selected position, which helps keep a constant microphone placement throughout takes. The result: a more reliable workflow and a more homogeneous sound, particularly useful with dynamic microphones used in close proximity.

Included Connectivity for Immediate Integration

The supplied 5 m 3-pin XLR cable allows easy connection of the microphone to an audio interface, microphone preamp, console, or recorder, while providing a comfortable length margin depending on your room layout. This ensures a clean and quickly operational setup without needing to add a cable from the start.
