These adjustable tabletop microphone stands are a compact and versatile mic support solution designed for desktop use in recording, broadcasting, podcasting, and live streaming environments. Typically constructed with a weighted metal base for stability, these stands feature a telescoping or threaded shaft that allows height adjustment—commonly ranging from 11" to 16", depending on the model. The low-profile design minimizes visual distraction and handling noise, making these stands ideal for close-mic applications in tight spaces.
