How I Solved the Messy Mic Stand Problem on Stage
9/28/20262 min read


My Mic Stand / Pedalboard Mounting Solution
If you’ve ever played a live gig with a crowded pedalboard setup, you know the frustration: carrying an extra heavy tripod mic stand, trying to weave its legs around your board, and having it wobble or creep away mid-song.
I designed a custom, heavy-duty Mic Pole Pedalboard Mount printed in PETG. It attaches your microphone pole directly to your pedalboard frame, freeing up stage real estate and eliminating the need for a tripod base.
Built for Live Performance
Rock-Solid Stability: Clamps securely directly onto your board so your mic moves with your rig.
Angles for Every Rig: Available in 0° (FLAT), 8° (PedalTrain / Temple), and 10° (Rockboard / Temple) to keep your pole vertical regardless of board incline.
Multiple Pole Sizes: Fits 20mm, 22mm, 25.5mm, and 27.5mm mic shafts.
Quick-Release Design: Uses a quick-release bicycle clamp so you can set up or pack down in seconds after a set.
Option 1: Download & Print It Yourself (Free Files)
I believe in supporting the maker and musician community. If you have a 3D printer, you can download all 12 parametric model variations for free under the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license!
Download on MakerWorld: Search for Mic Pole Pedalboard Mount by Southey for Artists on MakerWorld to grab the exact STL or Bambu 3MF print profile.
DIY Hardware Needed:
Quick-Release Bicycle Clamp: 28.6mm clamp for 20mm–25.5mm poles (or 31.8mm clamp for 27.5mm poles).
Bolts: 2x M6 x 30mm hex bolts & nuts (or longer M6 bolts if your board uses extra-thick hollow rails).
