UTX 400BK Straight Microphone Stand

A heavy-duty, straight microphone stand featuring a solid cast round base and smooth height adjustment for professional stage and studio applications.

Designed as a core mechanical solution for live sound environments, the Ultimax UTX series emphasizes stable positioning and simplified operation during high-use production setups. Built to support standard vocal and instrument microphones, this series delivers dependable structural support for broadcast booths, performance venues, and commercial installations.

Constructed from tubular steel with a durable black finish, the stand utilizes a high-mass cast iron round base to maintain low-center-of-gravity stability while minimizing floor vibration transfer. The vertical assembly is integrated with an ergonomic height-adjustment clutch and top-mounted thread adapter, ensuring secure placement and long-term mechanical reliability under frequent adjustability.

Heavy-Base Stability

• Cast Iron Base: High-mass round base provides exceptional resistance against tipping and isolate mechanical vibrations from stage floors.

• Compact Footprint: Round profile allows flush placement around pedalboards, vocal setups, and tight stage floor spaces without trip hazards.

• Anti-Vibration Rubber Base: Bottom rubber dampening layer reduces structure-borne acoustic noise and protects venue floor surfaces.

Smooth Mechanical Operation

• Ergonomic Height Clutch: Secure locking collar enables smooth vertical height adjustment and positive mechanical lock-off.

• Standard Thread Fitting: Universal top threading fits standard microphone clips, shock mounts, and boom arm extensions.

• Integrated Cable Management: Included clip maintains clean cable routing along the vertical shaft to prevent strain and snagging.

A: The Ultimax UTX 400BK is a straight, vertical microphone stand designed for stage performances, public speaking, theater productions, and studio recording setups. It is particularly well-suited for environments where floor space is limited or where tripod legs present a tripping hazard.

Q: What type of base does the UTX 400BK feature, and why is it beneficial?

A: It features a high-mass cast iron round base weighing 5 kg. The weighted round base provides low-center-of-gravity stability in a compact footprint, allowing vocalists to stand close to the microphone without interference from extended tripod legs.

Q: How does the height adjustment lock mechanism work?

A: The stand uses a strong, positive lock-off height adjustment grip/clutch. This allows operators to quickly raise or lower the upper extension shaft and lock it firmly into position to prevent slippage during live use.

Q: What materials and finishes are used in its construction?

A: The stand utilizes a heavy cast metal base combined with a durable steel vertical shaft. The base is finished in black, and the vertical pole assembly features a high-durability chrome finish.

Q: Is the stand compatible with standard microphone clips and accessories?

A: Yes. The top of the stand includes standard microphone fitting threads, making it compatible with virtually all standard mic clips, shock mounts, and thread adapters.

Q: Does the UTX 400BK include cable management?

A: Yes, the stand comes equipped with an integrated cable clip mounted on the lower support shaft to securely guide XLR cables along the pole and keep stage setups tidy.
