On-Stage MS7701TB Telescoping Euro Boom Mic Stand Reviews

so much easier to get the best position than using a traditional
upright stand. i switch alot from singing to playing Flugelhorn and would hit the upright before. Now it's clear sailing

Just what I wanted , great guitar Gibson Les Paul 60's

The mic stand is unbelievable, feels like pro equipment. The shipping is unbeatable. Sweetwater is the best hands down.

Love my new Telescoping Boom Stand and all my new gear I've ordered from Sweetwater! Cody has been so helpful with making sure I order the right gear for my kit! He always responds right away when I need something or have any questions about any products I give him 5 Stars!
Looking forward to ordering much more gear very soon!
Thanks Sweetwater you guys Rock!

we have dragged these stands to hell and back and they still work like new. from place to place time after time.

A great stand at a good price. Got tired of settling for cheapo mic stands that bend, break, fall over if you sneeze, etc. The telescoping feature is great. Recommend

It is much sturdier than I expected for the price range. It came all together in the box and ready to go. I connected my Rode NT1 Microphone and was up and running. I have not had any problem with it trying to tip over, it has a perfect footprint to handle an extended boom. I am quite happy and would recommend this mic stand.

I needed a couple of mic stands to hold some SE V7 mics in my studio. These stands are really nice. I’m not sure why some people are having quality issues other than actually trying to defy gravity and balance. As long as you don’t try to shape these boom mic stands like an ‘L’, you’ll be fine. Make sure you provide reasonable balance. As of the time of this review, Sweetwater has the best price for these mic stands. I recommend these for the podcaster and the music minimalist. I can’t speak on the reliability of these with reflection filters and anything else attached to them. But, if you want some good tripod mic stands, these have a pretty solid build that will last.

Good quailty stand at a great price

Exactly what I was looking for. Was so tired of my guitar bumping my straight up and down mic stand. This one is sturdy yet portable and easy to set up. Perfect!

This mic stand fit my needs perfectly. It's sturdy and adjustable enough to fit my studio needs perfectly, but instead of being limited by a desktop stand, the MS7701B will also be great on stage. The price is good but I got it on sale which is great. Another fantastic transaction with Sweetwater accompanied by a helpful service call and a sweet bag of candy. Thanks again!

Very much meets my needs. Sturdy and stable. Very reliable!

Very well made, light weight and reasonably priced adjustable microphone stand.

Nice and solid feeling. Great for home use, but doesn't feel like cheap gear.

I didn't have very high expectations for these stands, being the cheapest ones available of their kind on Sweetwater's website. I was pleasantly surprised when I received them! The finish is great, the metal is very solid and sturdy. And, most importantly, the moving parts are well designed. They lock well, and the boom arm does not fall once you set it tightly!

Well-built, handles road bumps well. Very solid and dependable.

Really nice at great price!

Easy to assemble and sturdy, just great!

Perfect and low price.

For the price this stand is just fine.. Actually I bought one of the heavy duty stands at the same time. Because it is a bit lighter in weight I take it with when I go out and play

For his extructura, their hardware is good quality, as well as their presence and convenience in handling, about the price, you can not ask for more, no doubt we are witnessing a great microphone stand.

I really like this stand. I am liking the telescoping boom and the whole thing is built sturdy. I will likely replace all my boom stands to the On-Stage brand. Highly recommend this stand.

I'm a drummer vocalist and this mic stand is great for tight places. I added a short goose neck to it and set it right behind my right shoulder. keeps it up tight and out of the way.

My old boom mic stand with a counterweight finally died after years of faithful service. On stage has always been a good brand in my experience so I picked this one up, plus a counterweight. So far everything is functioning just fine and as expected.

I got it in an SM58 bundle thinking it couldn't hurt to have extra stands and now it's my main stand.

Sturdy well balance with enough heft to not tip over when drunken fans bump into trying to get me to play requests!

Excellent price, excellent service and just what I needed. The stand is sturdy with wide set legs to decrease wobble. It's lightweight and collapses easily to a very stowable size. Black coating on all parts looks good. Thanks Sweetwater for a "sweet" deal.

Great stand for my HH mike! Sturdy and perfect hight!

I just love it. It's very strong and useful. And this is my first time for me to shopping with sweetwater. I love it!!!!!!!

Nice, well built stand. It does not come with the unbreakable microphone clip, the thing you slip the mic into. I have purchased other stands that come with this piece. Just be aware of that. But it is a good quality stand.

I have four of these and I like them. One problem that you need to know about is that the plastic knobs on the tightening lever are too weak to last but you can get 1/4" #20 bolts, about 4" long with a lock nut. I get those and spray paint them black. The other thing to be aware of is that once you put a mic on and extend the arms, the stand may tip over if you bump it or extend it too far. You just have to be careful when setting up. Despite these two issues, I like these stands for their relatively low cost and their easy fold up and transport. I prefer not to use heavier more expensive stands for our five piece band, gigging about 40 gigs each year.

Works well. Great purchase.

Good stand for the money. Very happy with it.

The stand works perfectly for my needs--at a lecturn. It's light, but sturdy and the folding legs make storage very easy. I would recommend this product to others.

As always Sweetwater provides great products and super prices. They've done it again with some really good mic stands. These worked as well as their top name brand counterparts. I would definately buy these again.

I really like this stand. Sure it's not a $400 stand but it's solid enough for my home sound studio and it's a breeze to use.

Lightweight but strong, and a proper mount for our SM-58s. Adjustable height and boom length provided plenty of options for our sit-down players and stand-up blues vocalists. On-Stage is a solid brand and I would recommend this product.

This is a great deal for the money. The boom tightening mechanism seems as though it will hold very well and I prefer the telescoping ability. The base legs have a solid click when opened up so moving the stand isn't any problem (my old stand legs would fold closed and could not be tightened). The only complaint is the stand height adjustment takes a lot of turns to loosen/secure it. Hopefully the black finish will hold up - if not out comes the black spray paint can!

This is my first mic stand. It is built very well. My application is home use as I am not a gigging musician.

Assembly is simple...the only concern I had was connecting the boom to the mic stand itself. As another reviewer noted, it is very easy to cross thread the boom to the stand. One way to eliminate this potential problem is to disconnect the boom from the boom pivot, screw the pivot onto the mic stand, and then re-attach the boom to the pivot.

My only concern going forward: I can see where, for a heavy mic, the angle the boom makes with the mic stand might slip and be hard to set. I'll see as I use it more.

This mice stand is okay for our use. We don't have a lot of activity so it is sturdy enough for us. Had to do some adjustments - tighten things up etc but it is good for us.

really good for an inexpensive piece of equipment.

I bought several of these for a church that does set up and tear down every week. They have served us well for a couple of years; I have only 2 complaints. 1) the screw to adjust the boom arm is not well-designed. It's too small, giving you no mechanical advantage when tightening or loosening. I have other stands with larger plastic knobs that are easier to grip and use.

2) After 2 years, they are starting to fall apart. Out of 6 stands, 2 are in trouble: one of the boom arm thumb screws has been stripped; another is detaching/coming apart where the tripod attaches to the stand.

I would have hoped to get more than 2 years of use out of these.

its a good stand but with the AKG P220 the weight of the mic will cause it to fall over, unless its the mic, is over a foot stand. Not good when moving from side to side. I now us a weight on the leg so it won't fall from any position.

I bought a few of these last year, and today I finally opened up the box for the remaining one. The knob closest to the mic is stripped and I JUST took this out of the box...haven't even used it yet. .... I'll probably search for a better model in the future. I do like the fact that this one is lighter to carry to gigs, though. That's why this one WAS my favorite.

This came in a bundle I purchased. The stand was difficult to screw together. Every time I take it apart, or swap out my microphone holder, the screw mount loses lots of metal shavings. That type of metal should not be used for screws.

The boom arm took longer to adjust than my K&M stand, but I ended up working fine to hold mics. If this is all you can afford, it works. I recommend using it where you can leave it up, and won't need to take it apart often.

This stand is ok for home use, but its really TOO flimsy for gig work it falls over easily....should have spend the extra money.

This stand is ok, but you have to be careful with it. Threading the boom to the stand is tricky, it tries to cross thread very easy, and you have to make sure that the boom when extended is in line with one of the legs, otherwise it wants to tip over.

This stand is well made, but for our application was just not quite right. We've modified it to make it work but I am not satisfied with it, even so.
These stands are intended for use by a guitar duo that does a little singing and we were trying to keep the stand low and minimize the distraction of it. The players are both seated throughout their sets.

Even after shortening the main vertical tube and the one that attaches to the adjustable boom, the stand is still unstable when extended far enough to place the mics correctly. I think the base needs to have a wider diameter and perhaps some additional weight in the center to fix that issue.

But, for the money, it's not a bad stand if you use lightweight mics (ours are fairly heavy...like U-89 and AKG C414's).

Fair at best......not heavy duty. Got me through a party and I will use it for practice.

Lightweight but typical stand. Good for studio work. Functions fine.

Received this item last week. Very light weigh and not road worthy for a weekend rock band. . The tightening handle fell apart as well. Even though it"s in the 20 dollar range I expected more from the on stage brand. Not going to bother to return it, not with the hassle....

it came via Fedex. And the very end of the stand, the part that you screw the mic clip to, came undone. It's under engineered, but it's a great price when it comes intact.

So, this mic stand was recommended to me by an audio salesman to go with all of the other things I was purchasing. When it arrived it looked pretty solid, some of the joints maybe felt a little loose but that's to be expected. So it's working just fine for about three days and then the little nub on the end of the boom with the threads on it came loose and began to spin around, so my mic would flop around and only ever point down. I called the company about it and they were really nice and sent me a new one and even let me keep the old one. So I get the new one. about two weeks and the threads on the thing that keeps the boom in place strip, somehow they just become completely smooth. So I go back to using my old broken one and after a few days the same things happens.

Just figured I should share my experience. I seemed to find all positive reviews about these stands but they SUCKED for me.

The quality of the parts machined, the surface painting, controls to tighten the boom, guide clips to hold the mic wire, literally everything was of very high quality. The one thing that left me cold was when I installed one of the most common mics used in the entertainment industry, the Shure 58 mic, I was severely limited on how long I could adjust the boom from the base stand because the base didn't have enough weight to handle balancing the mic and would tip over and fall to the stage.

If "On Stage" would put a solid base that weighed about double the 3-prong base of this boom, it would solve the problem. As it is, I have to get a sandbag to plop down on one of the legs to use the mic at the boom length I want.

Buy a boom with a hefty base that will act as a decent counterweight so it will work properly.

Worst mic stand ever. My stand disappeared and grabbed one of these as a temp replacement. Absolutely terrible. The wing nut adjusters to tighten and loosen the base and the arm never worked. The wing nut would tighten just fine when you were packing up, but when you needed to loosen it, the wing nut would back off and leave the screw locked in making it impossible to setup. Every time I would have to take pliers to get the screw out to release the lock. At my last show I could not get the arm screw to loosen to fold up the arm, which never made sense since no matter how tight you got it the arm was never secure. I gently pushed the arm down to fold it up and the entire thread assembly snapped off. Now it is completely worthless, not just mostly worthless like it was when I got it. I would have been better off tying some sticks together and taping my mic to it.

Are you mechanically oriented? This stand might work for you. For people like me that expected it to screw together easily, a frustrating and defeating experience. I tried for about an hour then threw it in the garbage. How does it go together? Seems like it should be self-explanatory, but nope Oh, maybe they included instructions....nope.

really cheap....poor performance....fitting on the end of the boom is crimped but spins anyhow....mic will not stay where it belongs...
