Default Mic Stands

If it ain't one damn thing it's another. For the past 60 years, at least in my
experience, the bases on microphone stands have been threaded with a 7/8"-27
thread.

All of my stands are threaded that way, including my On Stage M7920B
bass drum mic stands. However, I just bought another On Stage M7920B, and it is
threaded M20. On doing a little research, it appears that the only other
versions of this stand by other manufacturers also thread to M20 or they crimp a
flimsy connector onto the tube.

I use the bases of these stands without the booms or telescoping tubes for desk
mics very heavy mics on mini booms. I have my own contraption that I've put
together over time. A regular desk mic stand will tip over.Â* These stands with
the proper hardware (that I have collected and hoarded over the years) is a
perfect solution. Try finding a 7/8"-27 male-to-male coupler. I have several.
Try finding an Atlas AD-13B. I have several.

If I could find a few On Stage MS7920Bs with the 7/8"-27 thread, I'd be happy.
If I could find a few 7/8"-27 female to M20 male adapters, I'd be happy. I get
the sense I'm not going to be happy. Now I have to be on the lookout for surplus
and closeout sales. eBay, here I come.

If you have any collecting dust that you want to sell, please let me know.
