TAMA’s Iron Works Tour Series MS456BK is a stage- and studio-ready boom mic stand that is ideal for drum overhead mics, vocals, or for use in any situation where stable, flexible mic positioning is needed. With a die-cast zinc metal tilter, adjustment collar, and thumb nut, the MS456BK is engineered to perform perfectly for years to come. It features a solid-core telescoping boom arm and a tripod base that folds down for easy transport.

Abandoning the weak tilter mechanisms used by economy-grade stands, TAMA's Iron Works Tour stands utilize two zinc die-cast pressure pads that maximize gripping surface area to deliver optimal angle-holding power. The sturdy die-cast zinc adjustment collar is also appreciated by Sweetwater engineers who’ve been disappointed by the failure of flimsy plastic collars. The boom's thumb nut has a larger, sure-grip design that allows greater leverage for faster, easier setup and tear-down, and its high-quality zinc threads and walls are built to last.

True to its name, the Iron Works Tour Series MS456BK Boom Mic Stand features a solid-core telescoping iron boom arm. The arm safely secures your mic exactly where you position it, with oversized knob screws that will lock the boom in place until you're ready to adjust it. Stability is increased and wobble is minimized with a rod stopper made of tougher-than-nylon POM material. Plus, the counterweight is removable, which allows lefties to slide the whole boom out and reinsert it from the other side for dominant-hand use and adjustment.

The tripod base of the TAMA MS456BK is wide and stable and features a heavy-duty pivot post on each leg. There is a set screw integrated into the base for adjusting stand height, allowing for quick adjustments. Plus, with the legs folded down and the boom collapsed, the whole stand measures about 40" in length for easy transport.
