Design and Build

The Trojan Pro Mic Stand is engineered for durability and reliability in diverse environments, ranging from home recording studios to live stages. The frame is constructed from die-cast steel, providing the necessary weight and structural integrity to support various microphone types.

The stand incorporates high-quality nylon components at the adjustment points to ensure smooth operation and longevity. To prevent unwanted movement or floor damage during performances, the base is equipped with non-slip rubber feet, ensuring a solid grip on most surfaces.

Adjustability and Mechanics

This stand features a two-tier centre pole mechanism that allows users to adjust the vertical height between 1000mm and 1650mm. This range accommodates a wide variety of tasks, including seated podcasting, vocal performances while standing, or high-clearance applications such as drum overhead miking.

The telescopic boom arm provides an additional layer of precision, extending from 340mm to 670mm. This allows the user to position the microphone at specific angles and distances from the source without moving the entire tripod base.

Portability and Storage

Designed with the mobile musician in mind, the stand is highly portable. It can be collapsed into a compact form factor measuring 1050 x 80 x 80mm. This makes it suitable for transport between gear bags or storage in tight spaces when not in use.

Compatibility

The Trojan Pro Mic Stand is compatible with the standard range of microphone clips and mounts. While it features a native 3/8-inch thread, it is supplied with a 5/8-inch thread adaptor out of the box. This ensures it can be used with a wide array of dynamic and condenser microphones, such as the industry-standard Shure SM58.

Target Audience

This equipment is primarily aimed at individuals requiring a professional yet affordable support system. This includes:

  • Vocalists: For both rehearsals and live stage performances.
  • Podcasters: For precise mic placement on desks or in recording booths.
  • Drummers and Engineers: Utilizing the boom extension for overhead or instrumental miking.
