Millenium MS 2004

Great and handy, This easily handles a 1/2 boom (cut the boom down y'self), and I can stand closer to the mic w'out tripping over the usual 3 legs.

I play guitar too and have no problem with this mic & acoustic or electric guitar. Its a space saver for me with a sometimes 7 piece band on usually small stages.

I have a "Mic stand mounted monitor" (SRM 150) for bigger venues, this particular stand is a bit unstable with the monitor on top, so I keep my old folding 3 legged mic stand just for this, or there's usually a sound guy with floor monitors at bigger venues.

I always assemble this type of mic stand with "loctite" thread locker on the parts that need it, saves me chasing the mic round & round. "You must, please" super glue the little rubber feet into the Iron base, or they will fall out somewhere at a gig last week, lost forever & these stands are very susceptible to "stage rumble" & feedback without the rubber feet. Also being "unfoldable" & pretty heavy, other bands don't seem take them by mistake.

The round base rolls around in the back of my van if I lay it down, so I stand it upright on its rubber feet to avoid the rolling.

Bars, small venues, Massive concerts, this is great. I love mine and the comments "vintage mic stand" really do the trick.

I ordered this stand from Thomann in January 2008. It's now April of 2018 and I still have it, still use it. It's a very solid, reliable stand.

That said, i'm not taking it on the road with me - it sits in my studio, as the base is a bit too unwieldy and heavy to be an item I happily stow away and bring along to gigs.

That heaviness is what makes it so perfect for the studio though. It's a solid piece of equipment that isn't going to be knocked over by a tap of the elbow. The heavy base will keep it anchored on the ground.

The height adjustment mechanism appears to be working just as well now as it was when first got it. I'm a little surprised by that, as I would normally expect the plastic of that handle to degrade more than it has in that time.

All in all, a great mic stand. I hope to still be using it in 10 more years!
