Step 1: Choose the right stand
When looking for a microphone stand, there are a few things to consider. Here are the steps to help you choose the right stand for your needs.
- Decide what type of stand you need. There are three main types: tripod, desktop, and boom. Tripod stands are best for floor use, desktop stands are great for use with laptops or tablets, and boom stands allow you to position the microphone where you want it.
- Consider the weight of the microphone. If your microphone is lightweight, a desktop stand will be sufficient. However, if your microphone is heavier, you’ll need a tripod or boom stand to support its weight.
- Determine the height you need. Tripod and desktop stands typically have adjustable heights, while boom stands typically do not.
Step 2: Assemble the stand
The next step is to assemble the stand. It involves connecting the three main parts: the base, the shaft, and the microphone clip. The base has a threaded hole in the center that screws onto the top of the shaft. The shaft has a raised lip on one side that fits into the groove on the bottom of the microphone clip.
The clip has two perpendicular arms that extend from the clip’s body. These arms fit around either side of the microphone and hold it in place. To assemble the stand, first, screw the base onto the top of the shaft. Next, fit one end of the shaft into the groove on the bottom of the microphone clip and press down until it snaps into place.
Step 3: Adjust the height
Loosen the height adjustment knob by turning it counterclockwise to adjust the height. Then, pull up or push down on the microphone stand to raise or lower the height until it is at the desired level. Finally, tighten the height adjustment knob by turning it clockwise.
Step 4: Add a pop filter
Adding a pop filter can help reduce the occurrence of plosives or bursts of air that can create an unwanted sound in recordings. To add a pop filter, first figure out how big it has to be. Most filters are either 6 or 8 inches wide. Next, find a place to mount the filter.
A typical location is on the microphone stand, below the microphone. The filter should be placed as close as possible to the microphone without touching it.
Step 5: Connect the microphone
Now that the microphone stand is assembled, it’s time to connect the microphone. There are many different microphones, so be sure to consult your microphone’s owner’s manual for specific instructions on how to connect it. In most cases, the microphone will plug into the back of the stand in a port labeled “mic.”
Once the mic is plugged in, use the height adjustment knob on the stand to raise or lower it to the correct height for your singing or speaking voice. The angle adjustment knob can then angle the mic towards your mouth. Make sure to try out different positions until you discover one that produces the finest sound.
Conclusion:
The neewer microphone stand is made out of heavy-duty aluminum, making it both sturdy and durable. It also has an adjustable height, which makes it suitable for various microphones. Additionally, the stand comes with a built-in shock mount, which helps to reduce vibrations and ensure that your microphone stays in place.
To set up the neewer microphone stand, you need to unfold it and tighten the screws, and it’s as easy as that! And once it’s set up, you can use it for everything from podcasting to voiceovers.
