Detail 01
Clamp-on mount instead of a base
No floor footprint, but you need a rigid edge to grip. On a flimsy surface it will sag or slip.

On-StageMSA-8020 Clamp-On Boom Microphone Stand
Sale
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A clamp-on boom arm for micing where a floor stand won't fit. For drum kits, desks, and cabinets you can grip an edge on.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Micing a guitar cabinet from the cab's own edge
- Adding a mic to a drum rack or table lip
- Tight stages where floor stands are already crowding the drummer
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Vocalists needing a stand out front with no surface nearby
- Heavy large-diaphragm condensers on a long boom reach
- Anyone without a solid edge under 2 inches thick to clamp
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Boom arm
Lets you angle the mic across a source instead of straight at it, which matters for off-axis cab placement.
Detail 03
Under $30
This is a positioner, not a heavy-duty support. Match it to lighter dynamics and small condensers.
Detail 04
Standard mic threading
Works with the clip that came with your mic. Check whether yours is 5/8 inch or needs a 3/8 inch adapter.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No microphone or mic clip included — bring your own
- 02Measure the surface thickness you plan to clamp before ordering
- 03A long boom with a heavy mic will droop; keep the reach short
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this hold a Shure SM57?
Yes. Standard dynamics in that weight class are what a clamp-on boom this size is built around. Keep the boom reach modest and tighten the clamp fully.
02Can I clamp it to a round mic stand pole?
Clamps are designed for flat edges. A round pole gives the jaws very little contact, so it will rotate under load.
03Does it come with a mic clip?
Plan on using the clip that shipped with your microphone. Most dynamics include one.
04Is this good for overhead drum mics?
Only if you have a rack or riser edge to clamp and the mic is light. For true overheads a floor boom with a weighted base is more stable.
