PROEL ACCESSORY - Articulating Ball Joint for Microphone Stand (Stand/Gooseneck Joint)
Maximize the lifespan of your audio equipment with the PROEL Boom Arm/Stand Kit . In the demanding world of professional audio, microphone stands are essential tools that suffer constant wear and tear due to frequent assembly, disassembly, and transport. This genuine Proel accessory is specifically designed to replace the central articulation mechanism—commonly known as a ball joint or nut—that connects the stand's vertical base to the boom arm.
This replacement part is essential for restoring the stability and precision of your microphone stands. Over time, the clamping mechanisms can lose friction or break due to heavy use; thanks to this replacement part, you don't need to discard the entire stand. Manufactured to the strict quality standards of Proel's Italian engineering, this joint guarantees smooth movement for tilting and extending the arm, ensuring the microphone remains firmly in the desired position during live performances or recording sessions.
Its ergonomic design allows for a secure and quick locking mechanism, making it easy to adjust with just one hand. It's the ideal solution for stage technicians, rental companies, and musicians looking to keep their inventory in perfect working order without incurring the cost of purchasing new stands.
Main features
-
Robust construction: Made with high-strength composite materials (reinforced polymers or alloys depending on the specific batch version) to withstand the mechanical stress of the lever arm.
-
Precision adjustment: Optimized friction system that allows millimeter-precise control of the giraffe's tilt angle.
-
Superior ergonomics: Designed to facilitate firm tightening without the need to exert excessive force, protecting the user's hands and the mechanism's thread.
-
PROEL Compatibility: Designed specifically to integrate with the architecture of microphone stands from the brand's standard and professional series (such as the RSM series), ensuring a perfect fit.
-
Professional finish: Discreet aesthetic in anti-reflective matte black, ideal for television sets and studios where visual discretion is key.
Benefits of renewing your joint
The main benefit of purchasing this replacement part is its cost-effectiveness and sustainability . Instead of replacing a metal structure that is still functional, you simply replace the point of mechanical wear. Furthermore, it improves equipment safety : a new ball joint prevents the microphone arm from bending or unexpectedly falling due to the microphone's weight, thus protecting expensive capsules from potential damage. It also provides a "new" feel, enhancing the everyday user experience.
Typical use cases
-
Inventory maintenance: For backline and sound rental companies that perform periodic checks of their equipment before tours.
-
Recording studios: Where precision in microphone placement is critical and no slippage is tolerated during recording.
-
Educational institutions and rehearsal rooms: Places with high user turnover where tightening mechanisms often suffer from incorrect or excessive use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this replacement part difficult to install?
No, installation is usually simple and intuitive. It generally involves unscrewing the old mechanism and attaching the new one to the joint between the vertical tube and the extension arm.
Does it work with any brand of support?
Although many brackets share similar diameters, this part is specifically designed to ensure compatibility with PROEL manufacturing standards. It is recommended for use with brackets of the same brand to ensure a perfect lock.
Does it include the giraffe's arm?
No, this product is solely the joining mechanism (the connecting piece/joint). It is used with the tube and base you already own.
