Can your mic stand do this? !?
Base 4 Stands offers a new approach to mic stand technology. Perfectly balanced and lightweight, the patented four-footed base design prevents tipping without sandbags or counterweights.
Strong, lightweight, balanced and modular – Can your mic stand do this?
Jamison Abbott of River Pines Audio shared these awesome shots of his field recording rig, very capably supported by his Base 4 stands.
"This is one variation of my ‘fly rig’ field recording set up. With the recorder moved to a belt pouch, this could even be used to capture parades, and ‘porch festivals’, and other multi-location or moveable events!"
Jim's rig here includes a Lewitt “Ray” microphone, feeding into a Sound Devices “MixPre 6”, portable digital recorder and DAW
Modularity is one of the cornerstones of Base 4's next gen mic stand design. Reduce mic stand count and simplify your set up. One Base 4 stand with multiple Add-on arms replaces many stands - and the clutter that goes with them!
ICYMI:
"New solutions to everyday problems don’t come along very often, but when they do, the effects are far‑reaching...my hunch is that the subject of this review may provoke a similar understated upheaval."
SoundOnSound's Sam Inglis' review of BASE 4 Stands in the February issue of SOS is a must-read. If you think living with mic stands based on designs from nearly 100 years ago is a good thing, think again. There's a better way!
"If you thought mic stands were a boring, mature technology with no room for improvement, think again! Base 4’s range upends all the conventions, and their innovations translate into practical benefits for engineers and studios."

"I love the stand; lightweight yet stable. I mostly use (the BASE 4 stand) for mic'ing acoustic and electric guitars I use two AEA N 22 ribbons..."
We want to give a shout out to Base 4 user Kevin Roche! He uses our Sidekick midsize stand with an Add-On 12" arm that has 2x Stub Mounts attached to create a perfect stereo setup for his acoustic. Beautiful. That's the way it's done - with BASE 4 professional stands.

Formerly CEO of a prominent online-learning software firm, Max Yoder is now busy making music! And we're so happy to be part of his workflow.
"I have every *&* stand known to man. If I were starting over, I would replace most of them with Base4 stands. A feat in engineering I hope you are well rewarded for."

BASE 4 STANDS offers a step forward in how mic stands are made and used. We think they're awesome! But don't just take our word for it, the unbridled enthusiasm of our user-base says it all:
“I love the modularity of the Base 4 Stand. This design is so much better than the other premium mic stands that cost double or triple. Great Job!"- Jacob Meador/ Orchestrate Sound Studio
“The Base 4 stand has made my life 10x easier...The ability to cut down on a multitude of stands and get a better position is incredible. Cant say enough good things about these stands. They will be replacing my entire stand supply and I will only need half the amount I normally use : )” - Deegan Adams
“The solo stand with 16" additional arm totally solved the problem of using my 8.5 lb ribbon mic and a tube mic simultaneously while recording Vocals and Acoustic guitar...these are in a league of their own" - MM, Mo's Art Studio
"I assembled mine and I'm blown away by them. Like watching the Saturn 5 take off and then seeing a SpaceX booster caught by arms...these are genius and built like tanks. So easy to put together." -from realgearonline.com
"...we start with our two R44 AEA Ribbon Mics ...These weigh about 8 pounds a piece and (we) only trust them on the very best mic stands from Base 4 Stands. We consider the mics and the stands works of art in their own right!" - Timber Canyon Studios
BASE 4 professional mic stands will improve YOUR workflow by making mic placement and micro-adjustments a breeze, and your mics will stay put!

Built with lightweight, structural aluminum tubes and connectors, our Base 4 Sidekick stand is strong enough to hold multiple heavy microphones without tipping or slipping. The mid-sized Sidekick is great for seated performers, the snare side of the kit and amp mic'ing.
Our Add-on arms unlock the full potential of the Sidekick. On the snare side of the kit, for instance, the Sidekick can easily replace four conventional mic stands, saving floor space and a ton of hassle.

Base 4's Big Tree stand with our new Blumlein Attachment is just the ticket for mounting giant mics, like 44-style ribbon goliaths, in a stereo configuration on a single stand. That's nearly 18 lbs of mics on a 10.5-lb stand. The Big Tree/ Blumlein Attachment stand is THE single-stand solution for mounting pairs of any large ribbon or condenser mics in stereo configs. Since Base 4 stands are made of strong but lightweight aluminum extrusions, the whole stereo setup can easily be picked up and moved as necessary.
Strong, stable, balanced...and lightweight. There's nothing else like it anywhere.
For a limited time, we're offering introductory pricing on the Blumlein Attachment /Big Tree stand kit, now just $699.
