Asking "for a friend"
Why might you use parallel compression on a lecturn mic?
Opinions, please!

Stainless Steel Ball Bearings
@mods hope I'm allowed to share this?
Just found a UK company that supplies 316L stainless steel (body safe) ball bearings in single units. There's a huge range going up in tiny increments, ideal for golfball type stretching, with the advantage of weight for longitudinal stretch.
I'm presently at 2 1/8" (53.975mm) but this has now started popping out on its own, so I'm using tape to keep it in until the next size arrives. I'm ordering the 2 3/16" (55.563mm) which will be an increase in circumference of 13/64" (~3/16") (4.97mm).
I'm finding that as I increase the diameter, the time it takes for me to outgrow is is less, as there's relatively more skin to stretch and grow.
I may aim for an increase of 6 or 7mm (circumference) next time and see how I go.
The upshot of this is I'm getting consistent sitting coverage and frequent standing roll-over!
I'm also getting quite collection of metal!
Advantages of 316L is it's completely body safe and very easy to sterilise, wash it and then boil it in water for 10 minutes and allow it to cool naturally in the water.
Hope this info is helpful
KOT!
