Extend Your Triad-Orbit Quick-Change Stand

While Triad-Orbit stands are among the most flexible and sturdy mic stands we've ever seen, even the best stand may not quite reach where you need it to go. When Sweetwater engineers need a lightweight extension, we go with a durable IO-A aluminum boom arm. This short IO-A1A boom arm extends from 9.5" to 12.7", so you can set your mic right where you need it. Its notched stainless steel hex post is fully compatible with all Triad-Orbit IO Quick-Change mounts and offers the IO-A1A superior weight handling. At the other end, there's a standard IO Quick-Change receiver, and the IO-A1A comes complete with an IO-H mic mount adapter with 5/8" and 3/8" threading.

I had been searching for a good long while for a robust solution for a holder for my 12" iPad Pro. I need to set up the iPad behind my Moog Sub37 at a certain height and angle due to my horrendous field of vison :-) . the best solution for me was a combination of Triad Orbit products. This boom arm coupled with a Triad Orbit T1 short stand and the Triad Orbit iOrbit Universal Tablet Holder works perfectly. There may be other less weighty, or cheaper, solutions out there, but they're not for me! I do a ton of local gigging and I need dependable equipment. Highly recommended.

I added this to my short Triad tripod. It adds just the extra I need for those times when I want to pull the mounted iPad up to standing height. Delightful versatility.

As a full-time, professional voice talent, I recently undertook the construction of a new, no compromises voice booth. Among the features I wanted to build into the booth was a microphone mounting system that would provide failsafe and flexible support for my Austrian condenser microphone.

In the past, I've relied on a nationally-recognized mic stand with a heavy base and adjustable boom arm, but didn't want to occupy valuable space in my new booth with this arrangement. In exploring options, I came across the Triad-Orbit system. After reading reviews and watching their online videos, I bit the bullet -- the components are not inexpensive, but neither is my microphone -- and ordered three Triad-Orbit components:

IO-W Wallplate/Desktop Mount
IO-A1A Short Telescopic Boom Arm
Micro 2/M2 Short-stem Orbital Mic Adaptor

The components are a work of art and craftsmanship. To quote the company, "TRIAD-ORBIT represents a quantum leap in the evolution of the microphone stand. Every industry-standard component, from stand bases to mic clips, was analyzed and reinvented to realize a singular objective: precise mic placement without compromise." They ain't lying!

The combination of these three components allowed me to securely mount the infinitely-flexible microphone support system to the ceiling of my booth. I am able to securely position my microphone exactly where I wish with the peace of mind that it isn't going anywhere. Even better, the setup is quickly and easily disassembled.

The Triad-Orbit system is the finest and most flexible microphone support and placement system I've ever encountered... and I've been at this for over forty years in recording studios all over the country. It may cost a bit more than other systems, but if you want exceptional craftsmanship, dependability and infinitely-flexible support for your microphones, the Triad-Orbit system is unsurpassed.
