• The On-Stage MS8301 Upper Rocker-Lug Microphone Stand is an innovative, professional-grade sound reinforcement solution that redefines the capabilities of a standard tripod microphone stand.
• Featuring a patent-pending Rocker-Lug design, this stand seamlessly blends the simplicity of a straight stand with the reach of a boom arm.
• It is explicitly engineered for live performance stages, busy recording studios, and compact broadcasting booths where venue space is at a premium but microphone positioning cannot be compromised.
• Instead of utilizing a separate, bulky boom arm assembly, the MS8301 integrates a specialized mechanical tilting swivel function directly into its upper vertical shaft.
• This configuration allows the upper section to tilt seamlessly up to 40 degrees off the vertical axis without requiring any adjustment knobs to loosen or tighten.
• Performers or engineers can simply tilt the shaft to the desired angle, and the mechanical assembly holds its position instantly.
• When straight-line placement is required, the Rocker-Lug slides down effortlessly into the primary clutch, creating a streamlined, straight microphone stand layout.

Features

• Patent-Pending Rocker-Lug Technology: Provides the versatility of an adjustable boom arm by allowing the upper shaft to tilt smoothly up to 40 degrees off-center.
• This simplifies vocal, instrument, and public address positioning while maintaining a clean, compact stage profile.
• Knobless Friction-Fit Angle Adjustments: Features an advanced mechanical swivel joint that holds position without relying on traditional locking knobs.
• Users can physically guide the microphone to the correct angle, and it remains locked in place through constant tension.
• Seamless Straight-Stand Transformation: Designed to retract cleanly. When the upper tilting shaft is vertical, the Rocker-Lug structure completely slips past the primary adjustment clutch for normal straight-line miking or hyper-compact storage.
• Heavy-Duty Zinc Die-Cast Clutch: Equipped with an oversized 3-inch zinc die-cast clutch grip that simplifies height tailoring.
• The robust clutch mechanism tightly locks the dual steel tubes, preventing slipping or sagging under heavy condenser microphones.
• Ultra-Stable Folding Tripod Base Construction: Supported by an impact-resistant, steel-reinforced plastic leg housing that expands into a broad 23-inch base spread.
• This architecture delivers incredible stability on irregular surfaces while significantly cutting down structural weight for transport.
• Vibration-Damping Non-Slip Feet: Outfitted with three heavy-duty rubber feet on the tripod leg tips.
• These pads anchor the stand to polished studio floors or concrete performance stages, cutting out unwanted floor-borne rumblings and microphone noise bleed.
