On-Stage DS7100B Basic Fixed-Height Desktop Microphone Stand with Sand-Cast Base (Black)

On-Stage DS7100B: The Desktop Microphone Stand That Replaced the Cardboard Stand in Every Podcast Studio

The On-Stage DS7100B is the basic fixed-height desktop microphone stand that became the standard for podcast and broadcast professionals. A 4-inch shaft, a 6-inch sand-cast base, five rubber feet, and standard 5/8-27 threading — nothing more than is needed, and nothing less than will do the job. For the buyer who just bought a Focusrite Scarlett Solo Studio or a Rode PodMic kit and is staring at the cardboard mic stand wondering what to actually use, this is the answer.

Sand-Cast Base Anchors the Microphone Against Desk Vibration

The single feature that determines whether a desktop mic stand actually works is base weight. Light bases let the mic drift when the cable is pulled, vibrate when the desk is bumped, and tip when a guest gestures with their hands. The DS7100B's sand-cast base puts 2 lb of solid mass on the desk — heavy enough to anchor broadcast dynamics like the Shure SM7B without sliding, low-profile enough to disappear behind the screen, and stable enough to ignore the keyboard typing six inches away.

Five Rubber Feet and Compact 6-Inch Footprint

Five rubber feet on the underside of the base grip cleanly on glass, wood, and laminate desk surfaces and absorb low-frequency desk vibration. The 6-inch base diameter is compact enough to sit cleanly behind a laptop, in front of a podcast guest, or in a tight desk corner without crowding the workspace. The removable 4-inch shaft accepts any standard 5/8-27 threaded microphone clip or shock mount — the threading is the broadcast industry default, so every microphone clip the buyer already owns will mount.

The Buyer Who Reaches for This Stand

For the podcaster setting up a permanent desk position with the mic at speaking height. For the streamer who needs the mic anchored on the desk without a boom arm in camera frame. For the voice-over artist working from a desk where the mic position has to stay consistent take to take. For the interview podcast where the mic sits on the table pointed up at the guest. For the broadcast booth, the boardroom, and the conference setup where the mic lives on the table. And for every buyer upgrading from the cardboard mic stand included in an entry-level recording bundle. The DS7100B does one job — anchor a microphone at desk height — and does it for the next decade.
