The KickStand™ is a heavy microphone boom-arm isolator that combines a massive stabilizing base with an isolation pad to eliminate resonance from the stage, drum riser, and studio floor from entering the microphone.

A common problem with bass guitar and kick drum is resonance on a live stage, generally caused by low frequencies coupling with the wood flooring, which will combine with the instrument at specific frequencies and generate unwanted peaks and valleys.

Another problem is the physical vibration from the kick drum pedal and low-end from the PA system, which causes the drums to rattle and transmit through the drum riser. Microphones near these sources are prone to picking up these unwanted sounds. Decoupling the microphone stand from the stage while introducing a stabilizing mass to hold the microphone firmly helps eliminate the problem.

The design begins with a thick, high-density open-cell acoustic foam isolation pad covering the entire bottom plate. An innovative laser-cut steel platform is wedge-shaped to eliminate standing waves while offering sufficient height for a boom arm to be articulated into the ideal position. The isolation eliminates the resonance while the added mass stabilizes the microphone capsule for greater clarity and improved transient response.

Although initially developed for bass drums, the KickStand™ is very effective on electric guitar, bass, and other instruments that generate low frequencies or may be subject to floor resonance from entering the mic via the microphone stand.
