PROEL RSM181 - Short Microphone Stand with Adjustable Boom Arm for Instruments
The PROEL RSM181 is a professional, low-profile microphone stand, meticulously designed to provide precise sound reinforcement solutions where conventional microphone stands can't reach. This model stands out for its robust construction and functional engineering, making it an indispensable tool for recording studios, live stages, and rehearsal rooms.
Built with a robust tubular steel frame, the RSM181 guarantees exceptional durability even under the most demanding live performance conditions. Its adjustable boom arm allows for precise microphone positioning, facilitating accurate sound capture at the source with unparalleled stability. The connecting components are made of high-density nylon and reinforced with brass inserts, ensuring smooth operation and a secure fit without premature wear from continuous use.
Unlike generic stands, this short microphone stand incorporates a tripod base with a wide opening diameter, providing a low and stable center of gravity. This is crucial when using heavy condenser microphones or large-diaphragm dynamic microphones close to the ground. Its matte black finish not only gives it a sleek and professional look but also prevents unwanted reflections from stage or studio lights.
Main features

Low profile design: Specifically optimized for miking instruments close to the ground.
-
High-precision mechanisms: Nylon sliding joints with brass inserts for smooth adjustment and extended service life.
-
Superior stability: Tripod base with non-slip legs that absorb vibrations and prevent accidental displacement.
-
Versatile adjustment: Height adjustment system and boom arm that allows the microphone to be positioned at complex angles.
-
Professional construction: Materials selected to withstand frequent transport and daily assembly.
Benefits for the user
The PROEL RSM181 solves the common problem of amplifying low-frequency sound sources without compromising equipment safety. Its main advantage lies in its mechanical reliability ; the locking mechanisms remain secure throughout the performance, preventing the microphone from falling or losing its optimal position. Furthermore, its foldable and lightweight design facilitates transport, making it ideal for rental companies, sound engineers, and touring musicians who need to optimize the space and weight of their equipment.
Use cases
This stand is extremely versatile and is especially recommended for:
-
Drums and Percussion: Ideal for miking the kick drum by inserting the microphone into the resonant head, or for miking the bottom of the snare drum and floor toms.
-
Amplifiers: Perfect for placing microphones in front of electric guitar and bass cabinets, keeping the foot out of the main field of vision.
-
Acoustic instruments: Sound recording of flamenco cajón, cello, double bass or plucked string instruments played in a seated position.
-
Podcasting and Desktop: It can be used as a sturdy table stand for voiceover or streaming if there is enough space for the base.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum and maximum height of the stand?
The stand allows for height adjustment from 50 cm in its lowest position to 85 cm fully extended, not counting the extra length and angle provided by the giraffe arm.
Is it compatible with any microphone clip?
Yes, the arm has a universal standard thread (typically 3/8" with an optional 5/8" adapter) compatible with the vast majority of clamps and shock mounts on the market.
How long is the giraffe's arm?
The arm is approximately 75 cm long, providing excellent reach for inserting the microphone into bass drums or moving it away from the vertical axis of the base.
Is the material of the joints plastic?
The couplings are made of high-strength reinforced nylon (not brittle plastic) and feature internal brass inserts. This combination prevents the threads from stripping and ensures superior locking pressure compared to inexpensive brackets.
