PROEL PRO281BK - Professional Bass Microphone Stand with Boom Arm (Mini Boom Arm)
The Proel PRO281BK is the ultimate solution for sound engineers and musicians seeking stability, precision, and durability when capturing low-profile sound sources. Known in technical circles as the "Mini Giraffe" or low-profile stand, this model belongs to the prestigious Stage Pro series from the Italian brand, designed to withstand the demands of live tours and the precision of recording studios.
Made with a smart combination of high-strength materials, this stand features a die-cast aluminum tripod base , providing a solid center of gravity to prevent tipping, even when using heavy, large-diaphragm microphones. Unlike generic stands, the PRO281BK incorporates a high-density nylon 6.6 articulation and clutch system, ensuring smooth movement without the usual mechanical squeaks and guaranteeing that the microphone position remains constant throughout the performance.
Its telescopic and adjustable design allows for surprising versatility in tight spaces. The matte black finish not only gives it a professional and discreet look, but also prevents unwanted reflections from stage lights or video cameras. It's the indispensable tool for miking instruments that are close to the floor without sacrificing hardware quality.
Main features
-
Die-Cast Aluminum Tripod Base: Provides superior stability and structural robustness, reducing the transmission of vibrations from the ground to the microphone.
-
High-Tech Nylon Articulation: The height adjustment system and giraffe joint are constructed with reinforced nylon for a secure lock and smooth adjustment that does not wear out over time.
-
Low-Level Design: Specifically designed to work in height ranges where standard vocal supports are useless or unstable.
-
Non-Slip Rubber Feet: Equipped with natural rubber bushings that ensure grip on any surface, from polished wood to concrete stages.
-
Impact and Scratch Resistance: All locks and tubes have a special finish resistant to the rigors of daily assembly and disassembly.
Benefits for the user
The main benefit of the Proel PRO281BK is peace of mind . When miking a kick drum or an expensive amplifier, the last thing you need is for the mic arm to sag mid-recording or gig. This stand eliminates the "dropping effect" common in budget stands thanks to its superior clamps. Furthermore, its foldable and compact design makes transport incredibly easy, taking up minimal space in a hardware case or van, making it ideal for rental companies and touring musicians.
Recommended use cases
-
Drums and Percussion: Ideal for the kick drum, both on the resonant head and inside the shell, as well as for miking the bottom of the snare drum or flamenco cajons.
-
Guitar and Bass Amplifiers: Allows you to place the microphone right in the center of the cone or on the edge of the speaker without taking up excessive space on the stage.
-
String and Wind Instruments: Perfect for seated musicians, such as cellists or saxophonists who require lower pickup, or for recording double basses.
-
Podcasting and Desktop: Useful as a sturdy table stand for streamers or broadcasters who prefer not to use clamp-on articulating arms.
