DIY Microphone Stand
Dozens of people each week using the search term “DIY microphone stand” land here on The Podcast Studio. I did make a post back in March of 2007 showing a wire coat hanger twisted with some duck tape into a microphone stand. I’d consider that a more “makeshift microphone stand” than a true do-it-yourself project.
So in that DIY spirit, and in conjunction with NaPodPoMo, I give you my DIY microphone stand. The whole thing cost me $6.50 in parts from the local Lowe’s home center. Listen to the podcast below to find out all the parts to assemble your own stand.
The DIY Microphone stand is really only good for the handheld, SM58 style microphone. I couldn’t attach the Heil pictured above to this stand. I guess if you really wanted to you could attach a 3/4″ PVC cap to the top of the stand and then drill and insert a bolt with the exact thread count and size as the microphone attachment clip. This DIY mic stand, with a coat of black paint, would be almost passable especially if you mounted it to a round piece of wood instead of the two chunks that I have pictured.
Did you make a piece of your podcast studio yourself? Send me a picture and I’ll post it here on the blog.
