Members Bobby1Note Posted September 12, 2010 Members Share Posted September 12, 2010 I'm thinking of ordering a few of the e835 mic kits (mic/stand/cable), and I'm wondering about the quality of the included K&M stand. Is it 1/2 way decent? I'm thinking of using these for back-up vocals (bank of three/ male & female). http://www.italmelodie.com/?section=item&itemID=560 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rwhealey Posted September 12, 2010 Members Share Posted September 12, 2010 If it is a K&M stand, it looks like a 210/6, which is an $60-80 stand. Something smells funny - a $80 stand and a $99 mic for $118? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bobby1Note Posted September 12, 2010 Author Members Share Posted September 12, 2010 Yeah,I saw a display at a music-store recently, but I just glanced at it, and I'm not even certain that this display was in fact the Senn e835 kit. My impression, was that this particular stand looked cheap/flimsy. I wasn't shopping for mics at the time, so I didn't take a closer look. The stand I saw, had no knob, or handle, to tighten the boom angle. Just a slotted screw that you'd have to tighten with a screwdriver. In the link I provided above, that stand appears to have a handle/lever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dennis a Posted September 12, 2010 Members Share Posted September 12, 2010 Selling packages of equipment (at a package price) when each piece is from a different manufacturer is a legal way for retailers to get around MAP prices.

Members agedhorse Posted September 12, 2010 Members Share Posted September 12, 2010 There is also a new and much cheaper K&M stand in the works, or so I heard. That may mean it really is cheap and flimsy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shaster Posted September 13, 2010 Members Share Posted September 13, 2010 I purchased an e835 kit a year os so ago. The stand is a K&M stand but not the heavy beast like my other K&M's. The stand seems to be well made but it is quite light, and slightly undersized. I actually use it for my lounge gigs because it's unobtrusive (black) easy to carry on hotel elevators and it functions well. I doubt if I would use it in a band setting for any length of time, but I must say it's better made than many of the budget stands I see out there.

Members Bobby1Note Posted September 13, 2010 Author Members Share Posted September 13, 2010 shaster. does the stand have a locking-lever to lock the boom angle? or do you have to use a screwdriver to lock it in place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
