The GFW-MIC-0501 desktop microphone stand provides a functional and simplified mic stand solution for streaming, podcasts, broadcasts and desktop audio production. One can achieve the perfect mic position using the locking twist clutch to adjust the height from 9.5 inches to 14.5 inches, the company stated. It satisfies a wide range of mic placement needs with its compact 5.88-inch round cast-iron base and low-profile design, making it excellent for both studio and live applications ranging from desktop recording to kick drums or combo amps.
