The industry-standard boom stand

The K&M 210/30 BK is a classic tripod boom microphone stand from K&M's Baseline series, built for everyday use across stages, rehearsal rooms, and studios. Its lightweight steel construction and foldable three-leg base strike the right balance for regular set-up and pack-down across multiple sessions – stable enough for a full show, light enough to carry a handful of them between venues without a dedicated bag. The fixed-length 80cm boom extends the mic's reach, and the classic black finish sits discreetly in live or studio environments. It ships with a cable clip and a standard 3/8" thread adapter.

Simple, proven mechanics

Height adjusts from 0.9m to 1.6m via a twist clutch on the main tube – turn to lock, turn back to release, no tools required. The one-piece boom arm adjusts via a wing nut clamp on the yoke, covering a wide range of mic angles from close vocal work at full standing height to low-angled placements for seated players or floor-level sources. Both adjustments are simple enough for first-time users and fast enough for engineers working through a multi-mic setup under soundcheck pressure. The 5/8" boom tip works directly with most mic clips, with the supplied 3/8" adapter covering those that use the smaller thread.

Built for the working stage

The K&M 210/30 is the natural choice for vocalists, instrumentalists, and engineers who need stands that travel. The tripod base folds flat for transport and storage, making it significantly lighter and more packable than a round-base design – the trade-off being that a heavy round base offers more ballast and stability on a crowded stage where contact is likely. For most live and rehearsal contexts, the tripod's combination of reliability and portability is the more practical call. Optional K&M carrying bags accommodate multiple stands for multi-mic setups on the move.

About K&M

Founded in 1949, König & Meyer (K&M) initially produced music stands and measuring tools. Just two years later, the range was expanded to include instrument stands and microphone tripods, which are still the core business of the manufacturer today – and are still manufactured in their facilities in Wertheim, Germany. K&M also produces musicians' stools, stands for speakers, monitors, and lighting, and a range of accessories for mobile devices, such as tablet mounts. To satisfy the company's own exacting standards, even the individual metal and plastic components continue to be manufactured primarily in the company's factory in Wertheim, with particular emphasis placed on environmentally friendly and sustainable production.

Placement options

The 80cm boom and 1.6m maximum height cover most miking scenarios a working musician or engineer encounters. Full height with the boom angled in suits a vocalist or presenter; closer placements can accommodate a trumpet or violin without encroaching on the player's movement. At maximum height with the boom angled out, the K&M 210/30 can handle light overhead or ambience duties in controlled setups, such as A/B stereo miking of a choir or grand piano. For guitar, the boom reaches a stacked cab comfortably without the stand blocking stage movement. Folded down, the tripod base packs neatly alongside the boom arm in a compact and manageable form, ready for the next load-in.

I will compare this stand to the Beyerdynamic GST500, which is a very high quality stand made by K&M.

1 - The metal base is very similar with the only difference being it is a little lower mass, but it is still high enough and heavy enough to be considered a quality mic stand. There is also slight variation with the mould of the plastic parts that hold the legs, but they are of equal density and thus quality.

2 - The rubber feet are a size smaller than the higher priced K&M stands but still of the same quality.

3 - The twist grip sleeve is a light plastic. It seems lower quality than the regular K&M grip. I believe this could be an old design of the sleeve which they have updated. The grip is the same across the entire range of K&M stands except this older version (see the cheap 25905 and 21070, and the more expensive 21090. All the same sleeve.

Now the things that are the same.

Literally everything else is the same.

The tubing is an exact match. I took them both apart and checked every detail and they came from the same machine.

The locking mechanisms on the boom are the same exact ones.

The small plastic grips that go inside the center pole to tighten the extension pole are the exact same ones.

So the only difference between this stand and the more expensive stands are the plastic twist grip, the mass of the base, and the rubber feet.

The updated K&M twist grip is available on this site so can be easily updated and still be cheaper than the other stands.

So don't worry, this stand is definitely worth buying.

O
Nice stand for everyday work
Obviously42 14.01.2023
Solid, well built stand, on the mid-cheap side but still better than the average cheapo boom stand. Nice weight, there is only one feature that I personally don't like: the screw-on boom part of the stand, which connects the upper part to the straight one; sometimes, when I want to tighten the the stand to a certain height (clockwise motion), holding the top part with your other hand may cause the upper part to come loose (being applied a counter clockwise motion), which is pretty annoying, to the point that I'm thinking about gluing this upper screw once for all (the one connecting the straight part to the boom contraption). Some stands do not have this strange screw connection (I guess is there for disassembly purposes), and I think it is for the best...
Other little minor issue, the boom arm is a bit wobbly, once the knob is tightened, there is still a little game on the arm. It's not a big concern, but if you are looking for professional studio equipment and/or going to record with a very sensitive mic, I would look (obviously) for a more solid stand. Overall, nice stand for rehearsal room/ amateur, intermediate recording applications.

Decent - but I am disappointed!
slimcadie1 13.02.2019
I use this stand quite a lot in my studio and it is pretty stable and has no problem holding 57s, MD421s, pencil condensers or lightweight large diaphragm condensers (eg 414) out on a reach. But what really bugs me is that a K+M stand droops if I set it to hold a u87 or similar on a half-extended reach. With the little plastic nut you just can't get enough torc. If you really go for it and groan a lot, you can get it to hold - but sometimes it still sags. For heavier mics get the one with the metal pin though the nut - I have one of those and I trust it!

L
perfect durable mic stand
LutherD 06.08.2020
I've had this mic stand now for a few years. It's mostly at my studio, but sometimes I take it on location work and gigs. It's been knocked about quite a bit, but it almost even doesn't have any cosmetic damage, and it is fully functional. So it's very sturdy. It holds the mic quite steady, and doesn't even have a problem with a stereo bar and two heavy mics on it. And even though this is the version with the smaller feet, it is very stable in the studio and on stage.

the extendable boom makes it also very useable in close quarters.

wholeheartedly recommended.
