Abstract: An apparatus that allows a standard straight microphone stand to be used as a boom-style microphone stand is herein disclosed comprising an extender having a tapered cylindrical section that essentially converts the standard straight microphone stand to a boom-type stand. In use, a person would insert the standard microphone into the tapered cylindrical extender while routing the microphone cable through the slot running the length of the cylinder. Next, the small tapered end is then secured to a standard microphone stand using a friction fit to keep it in place. The device therefore provides a useable microphone extension without the possibility of tipping the stand over. The device is to be provided in various lengths suitable to various microphone applications.
