How to Set Up Microphone Stands on Stage
DENIS DOWNING: On behalf of Expert Village, this is Denis Downing at Roxy Studios, New York City and today, I'm going to show you how to set up some band equipment.

If we hired maybe four or five vocalists up front, maybe we'd have four or five straight stands. Now, we're going to hook up the microphone and as you could see, the keyboard player's going to need a boom if he's going to be comfortable back here, he or she. Here we go.
