Atlas Sound SB11WE – Studio Boom Mic Stand Air Suspension Ebony

Product Overview

The Atlas Sound SB11WE is a professional studio boom mic stand designed for small studio and broadcast applications, as well as stage miking of drums and percussion instruments. With an adjustable height range of 43 to 68 inches and a 60-inch two-piece horizontal boom, this microphone stand with air suspension system delivers the reach and stability required for demanding recording environments. The ebony epoxy finish, wearproof grip-action clutch, and piston-type air suspension make this one of the most reliable studio boom mic stands for professional AV installations.

Product Description

Built on a triangular die-cast base with edge-concentrated weight distribution, the SB11WE provides exceptional stability during studio sessions and live stage use. Three hard rubber swivel casters allow the stand to be repositioned silently and without effort, a critical feature in active broadcast and recording environments. The 60-inch horizontal boom is constructed of steel tubing and includes a Performer Series swivel clamp and an adjustable 2-lb. counterweight for precise boom arm balance. A 90-degree angled end ensures optimum microphone positioning, and the standard 5/8"-27 threaded tip accepts all microphones, holders, and adapters. The vertical tube assembly uses 1-1/8" and 7/8" diameter cold rolled steel, offering height adjustment from 43 to 68 inches via a wearproof grip-action clutch for positive locking without noise or slippage. The variable piston-type air suspension system isolates the microphone from vibration and shock, protecting sensitive capsules during repositioning. The entire assembly is finished in a non-reflective ebony epoxy coating for a professional, stage-ready appearance. Atlas Sound warrants this stand for 60 months from the date of purchase.
