Choosing Chord Microphone Stands & Sets

Choose the microphone for how it will be worn or held, then add a stand or a case for where it will be used.

Lavalier and neckband microphones

The Chord lavalier and neckband microphones here plug into VHF or UHF beltpack and bodypack transmitters through a threaded 3.5mm mono jack, and also suit most laptop microphone inputs. Pick-up pattern and colour vary: the 171.968UK is a black cardioid lavalier and the 171.967UK a beige omni-directional one, while neckbands include the black cardioid 171.966UK and the discreet beige 171.963UK. The 171.855UK lavalier weighs only 20g.

UHF wireless system

The 171.984UK is a UHF wireless beltpack system with a fixed beltpack transmitter and a half rack-width receiver, supplied with a choice of neckband or lavalier microphones. The receiver fits standard 19" racks with the included rack ears, and the system has a pilot tone and mute circuit for licence-free operation in the UK and EU.

Dynamic microphones

The DM02 173.607UK is a handheld dynamic vocal microphone with a presence boost, supplied with a mic holder, a lead and an ABS carry case. The 173.855UK is a hypercardioid dynamic microphone with an on/off slide switch and a 5 metre XLR to 6.3 mm lead, and the 173.857UK suits percussion, acoustic instruments and female vocals.

Stands and holders

The 180.060UK is a compact tripod stand with one-hand height adjustment from 950 to 1500mm. The 180.068UK mini boom stand mounts microphones at instrument level and holds 2 at once, and the 180.065UK telescopic boom arm fits a straight stand or clamp. The 188.139UK holder takes microphones of 26 - 30mm diameter on a 5/8" thread.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose a microphone stand?

Choose a microphone stand by where the microphone needs to sit. A straight tripod stand suits a singer or speaker standing in one spot, a boom arm reaches over an instrument or lectern, and a short boom stand places microphones at amp or drum height. Check that the holder fits the microphone body. The range here includes a tripod stand, a mini boom stand and a telescopic boom arm.

Can a wireless microphone be used on a stand?

Yes, a handheld wireless microphone sits in a standard stand clip or holder in the same way as a wired one, provided the holder suits the diameter of its body. Body-worn lavalier and neckband microphones clip to the user instead, with the beltpack kept in a pocket or pouch. The range here includes an adjustable microphone holder and transmitter pouches.

How does a Chord wireless microphone system work?

A Chord wireless microphone system pairs a body-worn UHF beltpack transmitter with a receiver that connects to a mixer or amplifier. A lavalier or neckband microphone plugs into the beltpack, which carries the sound by radio to the receiver. A pilot tone and mute circuit keep the receiver quiet when no transmitter signal is present. The range here includes UHF beltpack systems with a rack-mountable receiver.
