The K&M 259 Black is a half-height microphone stand with an extensible swivel arm that allows flexible positioning when recording musical instruments, and its compact size makes the stand especially suitable for instruments close to the floor, like a kick drum. Thanks to its tripod construction, the stand remains stable in any studio or stage setting, while its foldable design enables space-saving transport. Built for durability, the K&M 259 Black delivers reliable performance, making it a long-lasting choice for professional use.
The K&M 259 Black can be adjusted to heights between 42.5 and 64.5cm, while its removable swivel arm extends in two stages to reach a length of 47 to 77.5cm. All adjustments are securely locked in place using knurled plastic wing screws and clamping sleeves, ensuring a stable setup. The swivel arm can be precisely aligned with the sound source with the little handle, and a microphone can be mounted at the end using a 3/8" thread connection – typically with a microphone clip that's often included with the mic itself. For added convenience, the stand includes a black clip that provides elegant cable management and effective strain relief, and its die-cast zinc base offers excellent stability, rounding out a design built for reliable performance.
This half-height microphone stand is ideal for capturing sound sources close to the floor, offering precise alignment through its swivel arm with a toggle clamp, while a solid base and three folding feet with thick rubber caps provide a secure and stable hold. The K&M 259 Black delivers a flexible and reliable solution for low-positioned sound capture, and its black finish ensures a discreet presence on stage, making it well-suited for live events.
Founded in 1949, König & Meyer (K&M) initially produced music stands and measuring tools. Just two years later, the range was expanded to include instrument stands and microphone tripods, which are still the core business of the manufacturer today – and are still manufactured in their facilities in Wertheim, Germany. K&M also produces musicians' stools, stands for speakers, monitors, and lighting, and a range of accessories for mobile devices, such as tablet mounts. To satisfy the company's own exacting standards, even the individual metal and plastic components continue to be manufactured primarily in the company's factory in Wertheim, with particular emphasis placed on environmentally friendly and sustainable production.
The K&M 259 Black is well-suited for recording instruments positioned close to the floor, such as the kick drum of a drumkit, where a dynamic microphone is recommended due to the need to handle high sound pressure levels. To ensure a clean signal from the kick drum reaches the mixing console, it’s advisable to use a gate with fast attack and decay times. This versatile stand is also ideal for miking guitar amplifiers, where the microphone should be aimed toward the edge of the speaker driver to achieve the best possible sound.
