LyxPro XBM-8 Microphone Desktop Base for Podium and Gooseneck Microphones

solidly built with enough weight to anchor the mic without needing to be fastened down to anything. The on/off switch is very useful so its one less thing for the sound tech to worry about. (He can leave the channel on the PA on, and at a predetermined volume setting). I'm glad we spent the money on this, rather than going with the much smaller base that comes with the podium mic that also doesn't have a on/off switch on it.

It works great. It's big enough and heavy enough that you don't worry about the mic tipping it over. Works well with our mic and wireless transmitter.

It was a Bargain, Great Base for the Gooseneck shure mic Just buy it !!

I love this stand. I was able to put it on my control desk without drilling holes for the podium mic. Works perfectly. And looks cool too.

Well made, solid base for gooseneck mics with built in XLR connectors. Many people have questions about the switch. The switch is used to short out the tip and ring conductors, basically silencing the mic. It has a capacitor and resistor in line with it to help reduce pops. I did not want the switch so it was easy to cut one of the wires (tape it up to prevent shorts), so then the switch no longer functions. If I keep it that way I may remove the switch altogether and cover the hole. Also, the female XLR on the top has a unique locking feature. Instead of just relying on the push in lock to release the mic, you must screw the ring slightly with moves down to press on the locking pin. In other words, you can lock the gooseneck xlr in place by unscrew the ring so it moves up and will prevent the mic from being removed by accident.
