Bespeco MS36NE Low Telescopic Microphone Boom Stand

Bespeco MS36NE Low Telescopic Microphone Boom Stand

The Bespeco MS36NE is a low telescopic microphone boom stand: a short stand with an extending boom arm, made for microphones that need to work near the floor. Guitar amplifiers, kick drums, cajons, floor-level percussion and seated orators all sit below the reach of a standard upright stand, and a tall stand crowded down to serve them wastes space and invites accidents. The MS36NE’s low working format puts the microphone where the source is, with telescopic adjustment of height and boom reach to settle the position precisely.

Key features

• Low microphone stand for floor-level sources
• Telescopic height and boom adjustment
• The right tool for guitar amps and kick drums
• Compact footprint for crowded stages and studios
• Stable base sized to the boom’s reach
• From Bespeco, the Italian stand and accessory maker

Why low stands exist

Microphone placement follows the source. A guitar amplifier’s speaker sits a foot off the floor; a kick drum’s port is lower still; a djembe or cajon radiates from knee height. A full-height stand can bend to these jobs, but it brings a tall column and a wide base into exactly the crowded floor space where cables, pedals and feet already compete. A purpose-built low stand is smaller, stabler at the working height and quicker to place, which is why studios and stages keep them alongside the uprights.

Telescopic adjustment

Both the stand height and the boom telescope, so the microphone can be walked into position in small increments: a few centimetres toward an amplifier cone changes the tone materially, and the boom lets that happen without moving the base. Set the position, lock the adjustments, and check stability with the microphone and cable fitted, since the cable’s weight and pull are part of the load the locks hold.

Bespeco build

Bespeco is an Italian maker of stands and accessories used across European stages and studios, and the MS36NE follows that working brief: functional, adjustable and durable rather than decorative. It accepts standard microphone clips and holders, so the microphones and mounts you already own carry straight over.

In the studio kit

Studios keep low stands in the same way they keep short cables: not glamorous, constantly borrowed. Amp microphones live on them permanently in project studios, and live engineers carry a pair for the backline. The MS36NE’s compact footprint folds into that kit without argument, and its telescopic sections mean one stand covers kick, amp and seated-percussion duties across a session instead of three fixed stands covering one each. That adaptability, in a stand built by a specialist maker, is the working case for it.

For amplifiers, kick drums and floor-level sources, the Bespeco MS36NE provides the low, telescopically adjustable microphone position that a standard stand cannot reach gracefully.
