Frequently asked questions
Are these products compatible with each other?
No. The ST45 is a standalone table stand for microphone mounting. The MDA5 AT is a wireless connector adapter. They serve completely different purposes and do not work together.
Which one do I need for a home recording studio?
If you're recording with a wired microphone, the ST45 table stand provides stable positioning. The MDA5 AT adapter is only needed if you're using AKG MICROLITE wireless mics paired with Audio-Technica transmitters.
Can the ST45 work with wireless microphone systems?
The ST45 is designed for stationary tabletop mounting of wired or wireless receiver units, but it does not interface with individual microphone capsules or bodypack transmitters. It provides the stand platform only.
What microphones does the MDA5 AT work with?
The MDA5 AT specifically connects AKG MICROLITE microphones to Audio-Technica bodypack transmitters with 4-pin locking connectors. It will not work with other microphone or transmitter brands.
