Can this be used without a stand? I record at my desk. I would just like to sit this in the corner of my desk.

It's pretty large, so I would say yes. Much bigger than the Auralex Mudguard for example.

I sometimes just set it on a box or something else- the trick with that is positioning the mic just right. The mounting bracket is not that great bc there isn't much space to screw in a mic clip on top. Good filter though

I suppose you could but you would need to put something underneath or else the reverb off the desk would defeat the purpose I suppose

To be honest, as crappy as this thing mounts to a microphone stand, I'd have to say it would actually probably work better sitting on your desk. I will caution you to the size, however - it is a fairly large piece of equipment, so will take up a substantial space. Check the dimensions and determine whether it will work for you. Good luck.

It should work that way but you should put some kind of pad under it to keep from picking up vibrations from the desk.

not likely to be at a angle you want, it will be very tippy on the small base. If you got a piece of say 4x4 plywood and drilled a hole in it and put some feet under it you could put a bolt into the base and it would be stable with a normal camera. Not sure you want to do that much work.

Hello Justin,I have this same set up and I love it have done some awesome recording word with it as well! But to answere your question. Your mic stand really will depend mostly on your cord length that is coming from the back of your mic to the equipment or system you're using. So if you can get a long enough cord you can surely us the average stand up mic stand be it adjustable or not. But once again Justin the "How long can your mic stand be depend on the cord or cable should I say. But regardless you want to make sure that if it is a person then you would want it right in proper distance of that individual. I hope that this help some as to what you're asking.

The microphone is very sensitive and will pick up any type of vibration if not totally isolated. You may be able to use it on a table top, but you'll have even more control of unwanted vibrations entering your recording if you use a boom stand with rubber leg tips. Using the stock Yeti stand, my microphone picked up the sound of the computer hard drive vibrations coming through my work table...

It isn't made for a corner so there would be a lot of space behind it. It would work but whether you would like how it looks is up to you. Get a five foot object and position it where you would put the stand and see if it is too far from the corner for you. I think I wouldn't mind it since it is a great stand. Hope this helps.

No - it could be used free standing, but fits nicely into a corner with the way it is built.

I don't think this will fit on a desktop without falling over. You should look at the "Soundkitz AE-F" it will work with a desktop stand.

You can mount this on a straight mic stand. Probably to heavy to raise up very high. I've put it up about waist high to use as a keyboard monitor on a small stage. The problem with using wired microphones is volume. It sounds great up to a point, and then distorts if it gets too loud. If you need volume much louder than a strong speaker or singer, this is probably not up to the job. My opinion, worth what you paid.

It definitely doesn't work on a simple stand. I purchased a large pro studio boom to hold it. It is setup in my bedroom studio however.

Yes, it can be placed on a desk for dictation. For superior recording quality, speak clearly and have suitable sound-absorbing material stop sound from bouncing around your recording space.

It does not have the same threaded fitting as a mic stand. Unless you mic weighs 30lbs I don't know why you would but I guess you could with an adapter of some kind.

The stand is free-standing - you can place it anywhere on a table or desk. It's been very stable for me.

Yes, it can. However, without a stand it can only do ground positions and it can also turn into its weird spider-crawling mode. I've found that while this model is fantastic, the joints are not the most stable so I often just leave mine in the standing position on my shelf.

See previous answers as they are all sound (no pun intended) solutions. I use the straight mic stand with heavy round bass with long screw on portion of mic stand. I use mine to surround the back of my video cam to eliminate unnecessary crowd noise when video recording my performances.

Yes I use it attached to the side of a wooden table/desk, the vertical height adjustment should allow you to work standing. (I have mine set fairly low, as I mostly need to swing my laptop in and out of the way). The height of my desk is about 30 inches (just over 76 cm) and the vertical pole of the stand goes up another ~17 inches (~43 cm). So (adjusting for the size of the brackets) as long as you can comfortably use something around 45 inches (~ 114 cm), I would think it would work for standing use.

You could theoretically but it would not be great. Better to do that with an iPad. This stand is the worst I have bought. Basically drum hardware on a ridiculous base. Should have been a round flat base not 3 foot poles. It's a major design fail. I ended up just putting mine outside on my terrace to hold my laptop when using a projector outside.

Yes, in principle. I suggest getting a goose-neck extension to add to it in order to make fine adjustments of position. I actually us a Rode scissor-arm mic stand on my desk - they're the ones that have the same spring loaded mechanism that some work or reading lamps use, so it's very easy to rotate it completely out of the way when not in use, and then quickly adjust to the exact position I want for recording. The Posi-Lok arm is better if you can leave it in a fairly fixed position, since it's not as easy to fine-tune it, though, as I say, a goose-neck extension will give you a lot more flex.
