Primacoustic Kickstand Mic Boom Isolator


Primacoustic Kickstand Mic Boom Isolator


$74.99


The Primacoustic KickStand heavy microphone boom-arm isolator combines a massive stabilizing base with an isolation pad that eliminate resonance entering the microphone from stages, drum risers or studio floors. A common problem with bass guitar and kick drum is resonance on a live stage. This is generally caused by low frequencies coupling with the wood flooring which will combine with the instrument at certain frequencies and generate unwanted peaks and valleys. Another problem is the physical vibration from the kick drum pedal and low-end from the PA system that causes the drums to rattle and transmit through the drum riser. Microphones that are near these sources are prone to picking up these unwanted sounds. The KickStand helps eliminate the problem by decoupling the microphone stand from the stage while introducing a stabilizing mass to hold the microphone firmly in place. The Primacoustic KickStand isolator's thick, high-density open cell acoustic foam covers the entire bottom plate. An innovative laser cut steel platform is wedg' shaped to eliminate standing waves while offering sufficient height to allow a boom-arm to be articulated into the ideal position. The isolation eliminates the resonance while the added mass stabilizes the microphone capsule for greater clarity and improved transient response. Although originally developed for bass drum, the KickStand is very effective on electric guitar, bass and other instruments that generate low frequencies or may be subject to floor resonance from entering the mic via the microphone stand.Combination boom-stand base and vibration isolatorEliminates disruptive resonance from the microphone standImproves transient response of the microphoneMakes getting the sound you want fast and mixing easier

The boom arm extends up to 92" to suit any mic position, and the 2.3lb. adjustable weight is the perfect counterbalance for large diaphragm microphones. Just a half-turn of the mic stand's advanced tilt clutch makes changing mic angles quick and easy. Finally, its fully folding lightweight design allows for easy transportation in the compact folded position with no heavy cast-iron base to lug around.

Boom Arm Mic

What audio visual equipment will I need for this…?

When creating an audio visual presentation with a professional company, you can generally rest assured that the AV crew will keep you armed with their expertise and knowledge in creating a gripping AV project. However, that doesn’t mean that you don’t need to do your homework.

It’s worth emphasizing more than once: You need to be hands on with any AV project. You can’t simply give your crew a rough outline and let them work it out, or you may wind up with unsatisfying end results and nobody to blame but your own lack of communication.

In other words, you should try to learn a little something about how the process works, what equipment is used and so on, so that you won’t be completely out of your element when discussing the project with your crew.

In any event, your crew will provide their own equipment, but typically, any AV project will require some or all of the following.

Projectors- Projectors have come a long way since the simple slide show and film projectors you might by thinking of. These days, most projectors rely on LCD and DLP technology. Basically, they’re all digital. The upside to this is that you can project directly from a digital source such as a laptop or a zip drive.

Touch Panels- Think of this as a control board, but streamlined into a simple computer interface. Essentially a touch screen like you’d see on an ATM, but assigned the task of playing and switching various audio and video sources.

Mini DV (digital video) Cameras- If your project involves any live video, your crew will likely be using a professional grade Mini DV camera to gather the footage. High end Mini DV cameras offer a clean, professional look, at less than a single percentage of the cost of shooting on film.

Microphones- Every project is quite different when it comes to audio. One presentation might need boom mics to record live sound while another might need no actual audio work done at all. When speaking to a large audience, you’ll likely be wearing a “lavalier” microphone, those small mics you see people clipping to their ties on talk shows.

Speakers- If you are speaking to a large audience and the setting where you’ll be showing your audio visual project isn’t specifically set up for audio visual presentations, it may be wise to ask about wireless speakers. They’re simply easier and quicker to set up and remove from the room. It’s not always an option, but in any event, it never hurts to ask. Your audience is here to watch the presentation, after all, not to watch you and your crew spend a half hour plugging things in.

Luckily, you don’t need to be an expert. After all, that’s why we hire experts in the first place: because we’re not experts, ourselves. Still, it’s worth knowing a little bit about the equipment and how it works so that you can make specific requests and so that you can work out exactly what you want with your crew.
