K&M 233BK Table Microphone Stand

I've used these as desk speaker stands with both Genelec 8020 (with stand plate) and Focal CMS50 active monitors for years and they are just the ticket - I've subsequently bought more of them for my staff and for my home studio.

They're sturdy enough to securely take the weight of small to medium sized monitors whilst retaining their set height, but they also have a reasonable footprint that doesn't take up too much desk space. The rubber seal on the base provides both grip and a little bit of acoustic isolation, but it can mark light surfaces if dragged across them (nothing permanent, just an FYI).

I'm sure they'd work great as a mic stand - K&M's products are solid enough and reasonably priced - but I haven't used them for that purpose.
