Lightweight + Secure

Weight: 4 lb. 14 oz (2.2 kg)

“Base 4 completely rethinks the mic stand… these stands are so much lighter and easier to use than the heavy steel stands we all know and love, but are strong enough to hold heavy ribbon and tube mics. It’s much easier to move these stands around the studio, and your back and shoulders will thank you.”

– John Baccigaluppi, Tape Op Magazine

Balanced + Stable

“Base 4 has made vast improvements on an item that has really needed it for decades. The ruggedness and balance of their stands is superb, and the mechanisms are heavy-duty and positive-locking. I never worry that their stand will slip or that a mic will hit the ground. Plus, I can mic my entire drum kit with just two stands… Way less clutter on the studio floor.”
