D’Addario’s XPND Pedalboard Mic Stand is Every Gigging Musician’s Dream

The XPND Pedalboard Mic Stand is the solution for every gigging musician who needs a bit more space on stage. With its design and technology, the XPND Pedalboard Mic Stand can clamp onto double-row pedalboards for an easy space-saving solution that other mic stands simply cannot offer.

For musicians, road managers, or stage technicians, floorspace is one valuable thing that many bars and stage managers often neglect when it comes to gigs and performances. Musicians often have to cramp up their gear on stage, hoping they don’t trip on any wire or equipment while they give the performance of their lives. Most of the time, musicians may have to tone down their stage performance and energy, thus diminishing their stage presence, for the safety of their equipment, and well, themselves.

Such an issue has been noted by D’Addario, a family-owned and operated multinational company specializing in musical instrument accessories. Seeking further assistance and input from musicians themselves, D’Addario partnered up with Joe Satriani, a 15-time Grammy Award nominee American guitarist and composer, in creating a space-saving solution for this issue that many gigging musicians have. Alas, the XPND Pedalboard Mic Stand!

The XPND Pedalboard Mic Stand allows you to attach your microphone stand right to your pedalboard, significantly reducing the space you may need for your gear on stage. It uses a lightweight telescoping stand that is also easily portable without compromising on stability. The stand can easily clam to the pedalboard, taking up the space of just one pedal — essentially saying goodbye to bulky tripods.

The only similarity this has with other mic stands is that it can also be adjusted to the musician’s height. What’s also good to note about the XPND Pedalboard Mic Stand is that its compatibility is not brand-specific. This means you can probably use this with any double-row pedalboard, and not just the ones created by the company.

On that note, we’d like to end this with a quote from D’Addario, “It’s time to reclaim your performance space.”. The XPND Pedalboard Mic Stand is currently available for $120.
