PROEL DST130BK - Straight Desktop Microphone Stand with Heavy Base and Adjustable Height
The PROEL DST130BK establishes itself as a highly stable professional solution for audio setups where space is limited but robustness is essential. This straight desktop microphone stand has been meticulously designed to meet the demands of podcasters, radio broadcasters, and musicians who require a firm and secure base for their microphones without taking up the excessive workspace required by traditional boom arms.
Its construction centers on a steel base with a significant weight of 1.9 kg , a distinctive feature that sets it apart from conventional desktop stands made of plastic or lightweight metal. This added weight ensures a low center of gravity, allowing for the mounting of large-diaphragm condenser microphones or heavy dynamic microphones without risk of tipping over. The design includes a telescopic system that allows for precise height adjustment between 235 mm and 362 mm, adapting to the speaker's posture or the instrument's pickup requirements.
One of the DST130BK's strengths is its focus on sound purity. Proel has integrated an anti-vibration rubber ring into the base of the stand. This element acts as an acoustic decoupler, absorbing low frequencies and mechanical noise transmitted through the table (such as keyboard clicks or moving objects), ensuring that the signal reaching the microphone remains clean and professional. Its matte black finish not only gives it a sleek and discreet look on camera, but also prevents unwanted light reflections in recording studios.

Compact design: With a base diameter of only 150 mm, it fits perfectly into crowded desks or small radio booths.
Benefits for the user
For content creators and sound engineers, the PROEL DST130BK eliminates the frustration of unstable microphone stands. Its main benefit lies in operational peace of mind : knowing that your microphone, often a costly investment, is secure and won't fall off with an accidental bump. Furthermore, it directly improves the final audio quality by reducing table noise, saving time in post-production or audio cleanup. Its portability also allows for easy disassembly and transport for recordings at external locations without sacrificing the stand's quality.
Use cases
-
Podcasting and Streaming: Ideal for streamers who prefer to have the microphone in front of them without mechanical arms obstructing the view of the monitor.
-
Conferences and Public Speaking: Perfect for conference tables, lecterns or judges' tables where a sober aesthetic and static functionality are required.
-
Radio and Broadcast: Use in radio studios for guests or secondary positions where reliability is needed.
-
Instrument Recording: Its minimum height makes it useful for miking guitar amplifiers on low tables or even bass drums (on the outside) if the height allows.

Is it compatible with any microphone?
Yes, the stand uses industry-standard threads, so it is compatible with the vast majority of microphone clamps and shock mounts on the market.
Does the stand include the microphone clip?
Professional straight base stands generally do not include the clamp, as this usually comes with the microphone itself or is purchased separately depending on the specific model to be used.
Can it be disassembled for travel?
Yes, the vertical tube is usually unscrewable from the base, making it easy to transport flat and compactly in technical equipment backpacks.
Is the weight of 1.9 kg total or just for the base?
The indicated weight refers to the entire assembly, with the vast majority of this weight concentrated in the base to ensure the necessary stability.
