Millenium MS 2004

Great and handy, This easily handles a 1/2 boom (cut the boom down y'self), and I can stand closer to the mic w'out tripping over the usual 3 legs.

I play guitar too and have no problem with this mic & acoustic or electric guitar. Its a space saver for me with a sometimes 7 piece band on usually small stages.

I have a "Mic stand mounted monitor" (SRM 150) for bigger venues, this particular stand is a bit unstable with the monitor on top, so I keep my old folding 3 legged mic stand just for this, or there's usually a sound guy with floor monitors at bigger venues.

I always assemble this type of mic stand with "loctite" thread locker on the parts that need it, saves me chasing the mic round & round. "You must, please" super glue the little rubber feet into the Iron base, or they will fall out somewhere at a gig last week, lost forever & these stands are very susceptible to "stage rumble" & feedback without the rubber feet. Also being "unfoldable" & pretty heavy, other bands don't seem take them by mistake.

The round base rolls around in the back of my van if I lay it down, so I stand it upright on its rubber feet to avoid the rolling.

Bars, small venues, Massive concerts, this is great. I love mine and the comments "vintage mic stand" really do the trick.

I ordered this stand from Thomann in January 2008. It's now April of 2018 and I still have it, still use it. It's a very solid, reliable stand.

That said, i'm not taking it on the road with me - it sits in my studio, as the base is a bit too unwieldy and heavy to be an item I happily stow away and bring along to gigs.

That heaviness is what makes it so perfect for the studio though. It's a solid piece of equipment that isn't going to be knocked over by a tap of the elbow. The heavy base will keep it anchored on the ground.

The height adjustment mechanism appears to be working just as well now as it was when first got it. I'm a little surprised by that, as I would normally expect the plastic of that handle to degrade more than it has in that time.

All in all, a great mic stand. I hope to still be using it in 10 more years!

I bought 4 of these stands to be used for a variety of small shows and events.

The locking mechanism is good, maybe not excellent, but it does work very well for the price paid for certain. A simple twist and you are able to raise and lower the stand with very little effort.

The base itself is great with regards to weight and shape, however its stability is compromised by the three small feet on the bottom, which mean that weight is not evenly spread, but in fact is balanced across a very small triangle on three very small feet. This does mean the stand can on occasion feel unstable when handling it and moving it, nothing to worry about, just something to be aware of if you are the kind of person who likes to move around with your stand.

The supplied thread adapters are great, super useful and work well, with a slot for a flat head screwdriver in the bottom in case you lose it inside a mic clip. The tightening ring is a must, if you take it off it's very likely the pole will slip inside the other and it may get stuck.

For the price, this stand is great.
it's basic, occasionally a tiny bit wobbly, but does the job it's meant to do at a highly affordable rate.

The Millenium MS 2004 microphone stand is a solid and budget-friendly option that works well for lighter setups. It has a stable, adjustable boom arm that’s easy to position and lock into place, making it a versatile choice for various recording or performance needs.

However, the main drawback is its tendency to tip over when heavier items are attached. The feet of the stand aren’t very heavy, so if you place a heavier microphone or accessory on it, the balance can be an issue, making it prone to falling over. This is something to keep in mind if you’re planning to use it with larger or more weighty equipment.

Overall, the Millenium MS 2004 is a reliable stand for lighter use, but it may require some extra caution or counterweighting for heavier gear. For the price, it’s a good deal, but its stability could be improved with a bit more weight at the base.

I bought this stand because doesn't have too many hands and takes really little space on stage. I use it for micing accordiong, so I don't need it to be any higher, and with additional hands.

Pros:

- it is really cheap, but still helps me a lot when playing on stage, especially as it doesn't have long legs on the bottom, but has round base instead.

- having so only one screwing place, makes you have no problems with those.

- maximum height range of 153cm is quite good.

Cons:

- this round base can sometimes be unstable even on solid ground. I wouldn't use it on not flat and solid ground.

- round base is quite heavy and big, so I have problems with putting it in carrying bag sometimes. Often I have to take pole off of round base, which can be time consuming.

This one is easy to handle, the view is also not as bad as it could be for such relatively low price. If you are not going to look at it from 0.5m distance, there is absolutely no difference compared with other models. I am not going to use it LIVE, but I have made several tests and found Millenium MS-2004 stable enough to do its job.

I am using this in my vocal booth and I like it. It holds Rode NT2-A with Popfilter without problems. However, I have not tried it with Boom-Arm (who needs it in vocal booth anyway?:)), perhaps it may cause some trouble.

In my opinion. the quality is ok (3 of 5), Although tt does not look like it is going to brake:)
