The MD5 is a fixed-height desktop microphone stand designed for desktop studios. It stands 5 inches tall with a weighted die-cast base 6.25 inches wide for stable positioning on a desk. It uses a standard 5/8-27 thread for mic clips and accepts any standard clip; it is compatible with the Samson SP01 Spider Shockmount. Its low-profile footprint suits broadcast, podcasting, voiceovers, and desk-based recording setups.
