On-Stage SB96+

Asta microfonica a dir poco fantastica. Qualità sorprendente, il contrappeso fa il suo lavoro e l'asta è super rigida e stabile. La utilizzo con un Rode NT1-a e uno schermo microfonico e devo dire che a differenza di quella vecchia regge benissimo. L'unica pecca sono le ruote che non sempre si bloccano, ma non è un problema molto rilevante. Ottima estensione del braccio e dell'asta. La base dell'asta è abbastanza grande, quindi considerate di fare qualche misurazione se non avete la certezza assoluta di avere 86 cm di spazio. Consiglio l'acquisto

I bought the On-Stage SB96+ with very specific expectations. I wasn't looking for a workhorse that would be moved, adjusted and repositioned all day long in a busy commercial studio. If that is what you need, I would probably recommend investing in a higher-end stand.
For my application, however, it makes perfect sense. I needed a large studio stand that could be set up in one position, hold a fairly heavy microphone securely and then stay there most of the time. For that kind of use, the SB96+ does the job very well.
You can certainly feel that this is not a premium studio stand. The construction and adjustment mechanisms don't have the refinement or confidence of much more expensive professional models. But that has to be considered in relation to the price. I simply couldn't justify spending three times as much on a stand that isn't going to be adjusted or rolled around the studio constantly.
Once assembled and properly positioned, it is stable, practical and perfectly adequate for my needs. The casters are also useful when it occasionally does need to be moved.
So my recommendation depends entirely on the intended use: for heavy daily studio work with constant repositioning, I would look elsewhere. For a home or project studio where the stand will mostly remain set up with a microphone in position, the SB96+ offers a lot of functionality for the money.
