PROEL RSM170 - Professional boom microphone stand with chrome finish
The PROEL RSM170 is much more than just a stage accessory; it's a statement of style and technical reliability. Designed by the prestigious Italian brand Proel, this microphone stand combines the robustness needed for intensive touring use with a high-gloss chrome finish that visually distinguishes it from conventional black stands. Part of the acclaimed RSM series, this model has been developed to offer superior stability without compromising portability, making it an essential tool for both musicians and sound engineers seeking quality and aesthetics.
Its frame is constructed from heavy-duty steel, complemented by high-tech components such as a durable nylon articulation system and brass inserts. These materials are not a random choice; the high-grade nylon prevents the premature wear from friction that metal stands often suffer, ensuring smooth gliding and a secure locking mechanism for years. The tripod base, also reinforced with a nylon casing, provides a low and stable center of gravity, guaranteeing that the microphone remains secure even in dynamic stage situations.
Versatility is key to the RSM170's design. Thanks to its boom arm, it allows for precise microphone positioning, ideal for vocalists playing instruments, guitar amplifiers, or drums. Furthermore, its chrome finish not only lends a vintage or premium look under the spotlight, but also provides an extra layer of protection against corrosion and the wear and tear typical of rental or touring equipment.
Main features
-
Premium Chrome Finish: Provides a professional and distinctive aesthetic, ideal for carefully lit stages or video clips, as well as offering greater scratch resistance.
-
High Precision Joints: Incorporates nylon sliding joints and brass bushings that ensure smooth movement without "jumping" and a secure fixation that does not give way under the weight of the microphone.
-
Superior Stability: Tripod base with a wide diameter of 680 mm that ensures the balance of the stand, completed with non-slip natural rubber feet to isolate from vibrations from the ground.
-
Ergonomic Design: The clutches and adjustment knobs are designed to be comfortably manipulated with one hand, allowing quick height changes in the middle of a performance.
-
Intelligent Hybrid Construction: Combines the strength of steel in the tubes with the flexibility and fatigue resistance of reinforced nylon in areas of mechanical stress.
Benefits for the user
For the performer, the PROEL RSM170 offers peace of mind knowing their microphone won't slowly droop mid-song thanks to its efficient locking system. The chrome finish catches the stage light, creating an attractive visual effect that enhances the singer's presence. For technicians and rental company owners, the durability of its internal components (such as the brass inserts) means a longer lifespan and less maintenance compared to inexpensive stands that quickly strip.
Use cases
-
Vocalists and Frontman: Perfect for singers who want to stand out on stage with a stand that looks as good as their equipment sounds.
-
Studio Recording: Ideal for miking amplifiers, speakers or acoustic instruments thanks to the length and adjustability of its boom arm.
-
Corporate Events and TV: Its bright silver finish offers a cleaner and more elegant image on camera than worn matte black stands.
-
Drummers and Pianists: The extendable arm allows you to place the microphone in the exact position without the stand's base interfering with the pedals or the instrument.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the giraffe arm be detached?
Yes, the structure is modular. Although designed to function as a unit, the boom arm allows for complete adjustments and, in many cases, can be retracted or adjusted vertically to simulate a straight stand as needed.
What type of thread does the bracket have?
The mount uses the industry standard. It generally comes with a 3/8" thread and includes or is compatible with 5/8" adapters, making it universal for any microphone clip or shock mount on the market.
Is it rust-resistant?
Yes, the chrome plating process is not just aesthetic; it acts as a protective barrier against rust and moisture, making it more durable than bare or low-quality painted metal, especially in humid concert hall environments.
