Is your mic stand attached to your keyboard stand? Can't tell in the pic. Is there something attached to your mic stand? What are your speakers resting on?

Nice setup....concerns: single brace X stands always make me nervous vs a double X, .....secondly isn't the size & power of those speakers WAY OVERKILL for a small room like that? .....otherwise Good luck with your new Rig Col.

Bill: Yes, the mic stand is attached, very neat, cost £15.00 (GBP) on eBay.

Donny: Ilike to entertain the neighbours when rehearsing. The speakers are 550w each, Behringer B212d's

They always seem to put me in the corner at Gigs and the rig fits
nicely.

Col you must have nice neighbors lol.....could you get a better detailed closeup of how that boom connects to the X stand its interesting how in hooks up?

col is that a Sleeve that goes over the X stand teir tube or what?

Donny: No it's a sleeve that fits inside the X stand tube and when you tighten the large thumb screw it expands indide the x stand to lock the mic stand in place. If you look closely you can see the join between the two tubes.

About the only thing I might point out is, with the speakers oriented like that, you are throwing a significant amount of the horn at the ceiling and the floor! And losing a fair bit of side to side coverage. Particularly with the horn going into the ceiling, it is going to reflect back and alter the sound considerably, and diffuse the directional cues from the stereo mix.

Try orienting them back upright (with something under the front to tilt them up again a hair) and see if that doesn't tame the room a bit. If less of your horn isn't being wasted going into the floor of going straight up into the ceiling, you might find you don't need any extra highs, and can turn off any EQ (that always mucks the sound up somewhat).

NEAT FREAK ALERT!
Looks great Col. Very functional too.

Col I am interested but I need to see the inside part that expands before I continue and possibly get one....remember I have a Ultimate IQ3000
with 1 1/2" tubes not the 1" shown here. wonder if it would work.

Donny,

Is that measurement the inside diameter of the tube, or the outside diameter? It's the inside diameter that counts with this type of device.

Donny: Here's a pic of the fitting, I just hope I can get it back together LOL

Diki: I also use conventional mic stands as well dependeent on the GiG. The room in the photo is at home (Studio)

Don: Your so right I do like things tidy less cables the better.

Col

PS: sorry about the focus

Col at its widest opening could you measure the diameter for me please is it 1/1/2" or bigger? ...thanx

also when attached is the mic pole boom secured TIGHTLY with NO Wobbling or movement at all?

Donny: I wouldn't do this for anyone else, it's 1" to fit the x stand tube which is 1" inside diameter. The drink you promised me has just doubled. The only wobbly bit is me LOL

PS: I was 71 last week and no card, I was so sad.

Col

Belated Birthday greetings to you, then!

Col you know I love you man!!! your the best!! so the answer is no it wont accommodate my X stand thanx for trying now I can cross that off the list. .....and YES If I ever get across the pond again we will hit the nearest PUB with Wreck-less Abandon my friend my treat!!...

Cheers Donny

Colin ... you're saying that you got that whole boom attachment for approximately $24 USD ??? that is EXACTLY what I need and should fit my Quik Lok stand perfectly ...
