How to make a temporary microphone stand for your condenser microphone.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• A empty, clean, dry, coffee mug.
• Paper towels

1. Put the empty, clean, dry coffee mug on your desk.

2. Stuff about five folded paper towels into the mug.

3. Put your condenser microphone (and the cord) into that cocoon of paper towels.

4. If done correctly, the microphone will stay upright. Make sure the microphone is snug and doesn't wobble. Put some more paper towels around the edges if this happens.
