I'm am so Angry with my New Purchase.............

I always use a APEX pro two tier stand for years, but needed a X stand for studio and smaller gigs also....here's the story,.........I bought a heavy duty "On Stage X stand" well built with 30mm tubes to fit the collar of my Ultimate support Mic Boom.......BUT,.....since it only has FIVE height positions I couldn't find the correct one to fit my needs playing sitting down......either too high or too low.
I sent it back to the store and exchanged it for the
Ultimate Support IQ3000 X Heavy Duty stand that has NINE Positions...it came today ...wow what a super stand and the 9 positions work for me BUT,...the TUBES are bigger then 30mm which DON'T FIT THE COLLAR OF MY MIC BOOM!!!!

I cont seem to find another mic boom that will attache to this stand......does anyone know of a universal type adjustable Mic boom that would fit this stand, don't know exactly the tube diameter but its bigger then 30mm. ....
I don't want to carry a separate Mic Boom.

Pissed in NJ....

There's this little adjustable boom I had to use with the PA-AS system ... that might work! It's a thumb screw and infinate opening. (within reason)

The second picture shows it a little better - it's about 6" tall and you thread your mic boom onto it.

Dave, but how does it go around the TUBE and clamp down tight? and does it stay attached when stand is closed like our other ones or do you have to remove it?

here you can see the difference in size...

OK .......Uncle Dave just gave me a great idea......since the tubes on the X stand can be unscrewed and removed as shown ....
I am going to go to Home depot tomorrow and find a piece of metal tubing that will fit the 30mm collar.....then just cut it to size,.....spray it black, ...drill two holes,
screw it back on...and BAM!!!!
I'm a happy camper!

I hope,..

What a dumb idea

Believe it or not I may have the right size collar for your stand..I will look at it in the morning..maybe swap for your collar..

Fran....Ill call you you later.....

I use a Ultimate Support IQ-2000. The On-Stage Stands Universal Keyboard Mic Attachment Bar KSA7575 works for me. Then I just picked a boom that worked for me. I liked it so much, I added it to a second IQ-2000. Works for me.

On my way to home depot.......to be continued....

All you need is a piece of copper or chrome plated steel tube that will fit both fixtures.

At Home Depot I was able to get a 1" diameter piece of strong Black PVC tubing in the plumbing dept......cut it to the desired length, wrapped it a few times with Gorilla tape to take up the slight difference in diameter, shoved it inside the X stand Tier tube 19"....drilled two holes for the screws thru the existing holes.......screwed it back onto the X stand and attached the Quick Lok Mic Boom Coupling as pictured.
I will try it out on tonight's Dinner gig & report back.
