Founded in 1983, Quik Lok has established itself with a focus on durability, manufacturing precision, and field-oriented design. The A/85 embodies this philosophy: a studio-oriented stand designed to support demanding placements, remain stable over time, and facilitate daily recording sessions. Its floor tripod format and long boom make it a coherent choice for both fixed installations and sessions requiring frequent repositioning.
The Quik Lok A/85 is ideal if you're looking for a high-amplitude microphone stand for recording. Its telescopic boom allows comfortable work with typical studio setups: overhead mic placement above a snare drum, capturing an amp while avoiding floor obstacles, or positioning a mic in front of a source without having the stand in the axis. Thanks to its height adjustment and wide tripod base, it suits both project studios and more equipped control rooms, where stability and repeatability of placements are essential.
With a boom length adjustable from 1140 to 1990 mm, the A/85 offers significant flexibility to fine-tune your placement down to the millimeter: useful for delicate takes, elevated positions, or mics placed at a distance. You save time during adjustments and avoid "jerry-rigging" the position with less stable solutions.
The counterweight positioned at the rear of the boom helps maintain balance when the microphone is offset. Combined with a steel construction and a 1000 mm tripod diameter, it contributes to reassuring stability in the studio, especially when securing a position above an instrument or a passage area.
The matte black finish is designed for recording and filming environments while remaining scratch-resistant. The included cable clips allow clean routing along the boom: less strain on connectors, fewer cables lying around, and a neater workspace.
