  • 5" Desktop Stand

  • Weighted Metal Base

Description

The Samson MD5 Desktop Microphone Stand is the ideal mic accessory for any desktop studio. The MD5 measures 5" in height to allow for optimal desktop mic positioning. While its low-profile design fits unobtrusively on desktops, the MD5 offers a weighted die-cast metal base (6.25" width) to ensure maximum stability to any microphone with a standard mic clip (5/8"-27 threading). It even works well when integrating the Samson SP01 Spider Shockmount into your setup. The MD5 is perfect for podcasts, voiceovers, recording music or any other desktop application where ideal mic placement is essential.

New NT1 Signature Microphone -does not Fit with that. Fixed it.
Size: 1
Updated: - my bad, I could twist take the male -male end of NT1 microphone connector. No need any adapter. Its now 100% fit with this Samson Stand. Awesome. I raised it to 5 star I bought the Samson MD5 specifically to use with my RØDE NT1 microphone and its shock mount. The first thing I liked was the wide, heavy base. It feels very stable on a desk and is an excellent height for desktop recording. It doesn't tip easily, even with the weight of the NT1 and shock mount. However, I ran into an unexpected compatibility issue. The Samson MD5 has a 5/8" male microphone thread, while my RØDE shock mount also presented a male-thread configuration, so the two could not be connected directly. I tried removing the metal threaded insert from the RØDE mount, but it would not come out. Instead of returning the stand, I decided to solve the problem another way. Since I own a Bambu Lab P1S 3D printer, I designed and printed a custom 5/8"-27 female to 3/8"-16 male adapter with a reinforced support collar. The adapter works perfectly, and the stand is now exactly what I wanted. If you have a 3D printer, this is actually a fun project. I simply: Took a few photos of the stand and shock mount. Measured the thread diameters with a digital caliper. Uploaded the photos and measurements to ChatGPT. Asked ChatGPT to generate a printable 3D adapter (STL/3MF) optimized for my Bambu P1S. Printed it in PETG, and it fit perfectly after a couple of design refinements. For anyone with access to a 3D printer, AI can make creating small custom adapters surprisingly straightforward. My suggestion to Samson: include a 5/8" female to 3/8" male thread adapter in the box. These adapters are inexpensive, and including one would eliminate compatibility issues with many popular microphones and shock mounts, including RØDE products. Overall, the MD5 is a very solid, well-built desktop microphone stand, but the missing adapter prevented it from being plug-and-play for my setup. With the proper adapter, I would have rated it 5 stars. ... show more

Fits the 3DIO mic perfectly, look no further!
Size: 1
Happy tingles for any 3DIO mic owners! Here's the stand you need! So as many know, the 3DIO mics come with no stand, but this one? Perfect! Its nice and heavy so it can hold up the massive microphone no problem, and the thread size is exactly what's needed! Its also affordable! So after dropping 400$ on the mic, you don't have to cry at your bank account when purchasing the stand! One draw back I had is that you have to really *force* the base onto the pole part of the stand in order to screw it in, to the point that I worried it came stripped. I'll still rate it 5 stars since its a small complaint, but my husband had to strong arm the thing on. ... show more

Works for blue yeti microphone
Size: 1
Got this for my blue yeti mic, previously had a boom arm that I couldn’t use for a new desk and needed a new solution. The base is very weighted which is good to offset the heaviness of the yeti mic so there’s no concern about it tipping over. Very pleased, as I looked for awhile for a desk stand to replace the boom arm. ... show more

Sturdy, but with initial hiccups
Size: 1
This stand is very stable. I'm using it with a Blue Yeti microphone mounted on a Blue Radius Shockmount with a Blue Pop Filter, which is a rather heavy combination. I first tried mounting the combo on a On Stage DS7200B Adjustable Desk Microphone Stand, Black, which I bought for its height-extension ability, but the entire setup was front-heavy. While it wouldn't completely fall over, a slight nudge would make it start tipping over; I didn't feel safe using that stand. This Samson stand, while lacking the height adjustment capabilities, does not have that problem. It is simply much heavier and the base is wider. I have to dock a star for two reasons. The first is that the vertical metal rod has a sticker on it that leaves super-sticky residue when you peel it off. The "On Stage DS7200B" had the same problem, but the case there was much worse: there were two stickers instead of one, the stickers were bigger, and the residue was even stickier, to the point that it was impossible to get off without solvents. I didn't have to resort to solvents on the Samson stand, but despite being super careful when peeling off the sticker, I still had to spend a good 20 minutes cleaning up the leftover gunk; it is a strong residue. The second reason is that the bottom of the base has a circular ring of rubber which only comes half installed; the strand of rubber is split in half and "derails" from the inset near both endpoints, so only about 3/4 of the strand is in the ring. The rubber strand is actually glued to the base in this way, and when I first saw the situation I thought I had gotten a defective product. You are forced to grab both ends of the strand, pry them from where they are glued, and push them into the inset. Unfortunately, this ALSO leaves behind sticky residue! I bought two stands, and both of them came this way, so I don't believe my experience is a freak incident. In short, the stand itself is great, but it did give me a couple of headaches. ... show more

Great desk mic stand
Size: 1
My wife and I have a podcast and we use this stands...they look great and they are a great size for a desktop option. My only complaint is that I wish they were just a 1/2" - 1" taller simply because the XLR cord coming out of the mic (Shure sm7b) has to bend a little since it points straight down. This is just because of the mics we use so it probably wouldn't be a problem with other microphones. It's also worth noting that it doesn't affect the sound of the mic but it's just a tight fit and it would be nice to have a littl more room there. ... show more

Great desk stand!
Size: 1
I moved across my house and used a different table for the time being. My boom arm stand had no way of attaching to this current table. So I came on amazon and was looking at desk/table top mic stands, and from all the ones I looked at, this seemed to be the best . Also with the name brand Samson, I thought it was the best purchase. I am glad I went with this one. Perfect for me. It is quite heavy, heavier than I thought it was going to be, which is a plus. Build quality feel great. My Lewitt LCT-440-PURE shock mount that came with the mic fits perfect, and looks good. Just what I needed. Works perfectly. Recommended. ... show more

Got tired of the boom arm and this was the answer. I have a Presonus PD-70 mic installed on it.

Works great for Sennheiser Profile microphone
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
This stand is great for the Sennheiser Profile microphone. It's a similar footprint to the base that comes with that microphone, but increases the height of the microphone significantly to get it closer you to your mouth. For me, this allowed me to raise the Sennheiser to a height that's just out of my web cam frame. If you do use this with the Profile, just know that's a threaded insert you can take out with a coin to make the threading of the microphone match the size of the threading on this base. The base is weighted well with a soft pad around its perimeter. The height adjusts smoothly and quickly. I'd describe the microphone stand aesthetic as simple and utilitarian. ... show more
