OnStage Upgraded Mic Stands

We have been having some issues with four of our OnStage MS9700B+ microphone stands. We bought the “heavy duty” stands in the hopes that they will withstand the wear and tear of rehearsals and gigging.  But they haven’t been so touch after all. Good news- it turns out there’s a new version of the MS9700B+ stand, and it is much better.

On a couple of the stands, the clutch mechanism at the base doesn’t hold. The thumbwheel just spins freely without locking the post – so the post drops to the floor instead of holding firmly.

And the rubber feet keep falling off and disappearing.  I had a similar problem last year with the rubber feet on my OnStage amp stand, and when I contacted them, they promptly sent me out some replacements.

So once again, I contacted OnStage support, and received this response:

This stand has recently been upgraded and I am sending the new version and this should resolve all of the issue for you.  It now has metal parts for the leg housing and clutch so it is one that is really a workhorse.

After sending them proof of purchase, they sent us four replacement stands which are indeed much better.  Time will tell if they are any tougher.

Thanks again OnStage for the great customer support!
