Want to make a one-time investment in a microphone stand that will last a lifetime? You can’t go wrong with the Triad-Orbit Advanced Microphone Stand Systems.
Think of all the booms you’ve bought since you started recording and then discarded because they failed? Super sleek, stable and a breeze to adjust, with intelligently designed quick connects and twistable adjusters, the Triad-Orbit is a bargain!
TRIAD-ORBIT™ has truly reinvented every component of a traditional microphone stand. Every industry-standard component, from the mic stand base to mic clips, was examined and redesigned to achieve a singular objective, stated in Triad-Orbit’s tag line, precise mic placement without compromise.
Triad-Orbit Advanced Microphone Stand Systems are truly the Rolls Royce of microphone stands with a proprietary articulating base providing rock-solid weight and stability, a fully adjustable footprint, and four ratcheted leg positions that provide up to 65 degrees of pitch to accommodate ‘boom-less’ front lines, uneven surfaces and stacking for storage.
In this post we’ll take a look at three different height Triad-Orbit stands, each compatible with two booms, pivot adapters which allow mics to hang at sharp angles at boom’s end, and threaded hex-rod connections better known as “quick connects.”
Yes, other stand manufacturers do make quick connect systems but you’ll find that none are at par with the sturdier, superior machined and easy to use hex connections that Triad provides. Allowing super-quick mic change outs this feature alone is worth its weight in gold.

TRIAD-ORBIT T1 Short Tripod Stand – In stock and ready to ship!
The T1 short tripod ($129) has a small footprint when compared to a standard tripod, but can carry enough weight (12.8 lbs. with boom) to securely hold heavy stereo bars. Each of the articulating legs can be raised individually allowing the stand to sit at various angles. The stand legs can easily be locked via foot-release latches for easy hands-free operation. This stand is great for miking drums and amps and features an articulating base; quick-change coupler for attaching or removing mics or booms; and high quality clutches to secure shafts and bases. The Triad-Orbit T1 Short Mic Stand is machined to fine tolerances previously unheard of in the industry—with quality and durability to match.

The T2 full-size stand ($179) offers a base boom pivot height of 37 inches, and an impressive 98-inch maximum height and a maximum boom length of 3 feet with the TRIAD-ORBIT Orbit 1™ / O1 Long Single-Arm Boom ($109).
Featuring an articulating base with hands-free operation; quick-change coupler for attaching or removing mics or booms; and high quality clutches to secure shafts and bases, the Triad-Orbit T2 Standard Tripod Stand sets the new standard for studio miking.

Coupled with the TRIAD-ORBIT ORBIT 2™ / O2 Dual-Arm Boom ($199) this setup is a true beauty, with each individually pivoting arm of the O2 boom being able to span across a wide distance at ridiculous angles supported by strong lockable joints. The hex quick connects allow for a speedy rig setup, and the revolutionary design leaves a small footprint and allows for any type of setup you thought possible including spaced pairs, ORTF, M/S, X-Y and more.
