K&M 21020-500-02 Reviews

Solid and heavy

I recently lined the K&M 210/2 microphone stand up against a budget imitation by Auray (BH #AUMS5230F). As you can see in the picture, I've adjusted both stands to hold identical Shure SM58 microphones in the same position. Visually, the stands are almost indistinguishable. That all changes as soon as you touch the microphone. The K&M stand feels solid where the Auray is very tippy extended this far. I measured the stability difference. The microphone and stand together tip the scales at 3.45kg for K&M and 2.35kg for Auray. The front leg under the boom supports 1.75kg for the K&M and 1.4kg for the Auray. A little bit of math tells me that the rear legs each support 0.85kg for the K&M and just under 0.5kg each for Auray. It takes nearly twice as much force to start tipping the K&M stand and-if you do tip it slightly-the lower center of gravity means it has to be pushed further before gravity takes over. Don't get me wrong; the Auray stand is a great value if your usage scenario involves small microphones in a static environment. They're a great match for my pencil mics. If, however, you use a larger vocal microphone where people will be moving about then it's worth investing in the K&M stand before your expensive microphone takes an express trip to the floor.

This is why you spend more

I had a cheapie stand that would invariably droop about an inch or inch and a half after you tightened it. Then I got this one and it's rock solid. The mike will stay where you put it. If you want to keep it out of frame this is the stand to get.
