PROEL MA50 - Replacement M8 Wing Nut for RSM180 Microphone Stand
Maintaining your audio equipment in perfect working order is crucial for any live event or studio session. The PROEL MA50 is the ultimate original replacement part, specifically designed to restore the full functionality of your microphone stand. This wing nut (or adjustment knob) is the perfect solution for replacing lost, worn, or broken parts on microphone stands from Proel's acclaimed RSM series.
Manufactured to Proel's rigorous Italian engineering standards, the MA50 is not a generic, low-quality part, but the exact component that came with your microphone stand. Its primary function is to ensure the firm and stable locking of the stand's joints, guaranteeing that the microphone stays in the exact position you placed it, without unwanted slippage during your performance.
Thanks to its ergonomic design and robust construction, this accessory allows you to apply the necessary torque to fix the arm or stand height without damaging your hands or requiring external tools. It's a minimal investment that extends the lifespan of your professional stand, preventing you from having to buy a completely new structure because of a single small part.
Main features
-
Certified compatibility: Designed specifically to fit perfectly with the RSM180 , RSM170, RSM171, RSM181 and other models in the same professional series from Proel.
-
Standard M8 Thread: Incorporates a metric 8 (M8) female thread, the standard size used in the central locking and height mechanisms of these supports.
-
Durable Hybrid Construction: Made of high-density nylon resistant to impacts and mechanical fatigue, ideal for heavy-duty use on tours and stages.
-
"Soft-Touch" Ergonomics: Its butterfly or wing nut shape is designed to offer a comfortable grip, allowing you to tighten and loosen the mechanism with ease, even with sweaty hands during a show.

Benefits of using genuine Proel spare parts
Using the MA50 wing nut offers clear advantages over makeshift solutions or adhesives. As an original replacement part, it guarantees that the internal thread won't damage the stand's bolt, a common problem when forcing incompatible metal nuts. Furthermore, you regain confidence in your equipment: nothing ruins a performance faster than a microphone that falls down mid-song. With the MA50, your stand will work like new again.
Ideal use cases
-
Rental and sound companies: Ideal to have in the toolbox and quickly repair stands that return from rental with missing parts.
-
Recording studios: To ensure that heavy condenser microphones do not move even slightly during long takes.
-
Touring musicians: An essential spare part in your accessory bag to avoid pre-show emergencies.
-
Educational institutions and rehearsal rooms: Where the material suffers a lot of wear and tear from continuous use by different users.
