mic stand

(1/4) > >>

mmmatt:
I'm looking to buy a mic stand and not sure what I should be looking for. As always, the $$$ matters, but I don't mind dropping a few bucks if it makes a difference in convience, size, or performance.  I know that many guys use light stands.  I currently have 2 "typical" mic boom stands that I have used to mic stages for my matrix setup, and have used one stand with the boom staight up (about 8' tall) for an xy setup in small clubs.  I have the big wu reunion comming up next month, and I'm pretty sure I'll need to get up in the air for the outdoor stuff.   I have KDTU comming up at the chicago house of blues in a couple of weeks.  If I want 1 stand to suit both a large/medium club, and an outdoor event, what should I be looking for, and what should I avoid.  Also, anyone who has experience taping at the Chicago HOB who could clue me in on general taping info for that venue would be great.

Thanx in advance!!
Matt

Check out the Impact light stands @ B&H photo/video. Quality stands, that are pretty cheap in comparison to Bogen (sp?)
