Mic Stands
If it ain't one damn thing it's another. For the past 60 years, at least
in my experience, the bases on microphone stands have been threaded with
a 7/8"-27 thread. All of my stands are threaded that way, including my
On Stage M7920B bass drum mic stands. However, I just bought another On
Stage M7920B, and it is threaded M20. On doing a little research, it
appears that the only other versions of this stand by other
manufacturers also thread to M20 or they crimp a flimsy connector onto
the tube.
I use the bases of these stands without the booms or telescoping tubes
for desk mics very heavy mics on mini booms. I have my own contraption
that I've put together over time. A regular desk mic stand will tip
over. These stands with the proper hardware (that I have collected and
hoarded over the years) is a perfect solution. Try finding a 7/8"-27
male-to-male coupler. I have several. Try finding an Atlas AD-13B. I
have several.
If I could find a few On Stage MS7920Bs with the 7/8"-27 thread, I'd be
happy. If I could find a few 7/8"-27 female to M20 male adapters, I'd be
happy. I get the sense I'm not going to be happy. Now I have to be on
the lookout for surplus and closeout sales. eBay, here I come.
If you have any collecting dust that you want to sell, please let me know.
