Is a microphone stand patented?

Short answer: specific designs of a microphone stand have been patented many times, but "a microphone stand" as a general idea is not what is protected. What matters is the exact combination of features in your version.

What our index shows
  • 100 US and WO patent publications since 2000 have a title matching “microphone standholderarmboom” or a close variant (our index of 9.7 million patent families; one publication per family).
  • Among the 100 best keyword matches we examined, 24 were published in 2020 or later, and the earliest was published in 2000.

What this means for your idea

Because patents cover specific combinations of features, the useful question is not “has a microphone stand been patented?” but “has my combination of features been described before?” Consumer electronics are among the most heavily patented areas; the specific circuit, mounting, or interaction is what distinguishes a design.
