The MSA5000 is a versatile solution to incorporate laptops, tablets, and other electronics into stage or studio rigs. It saves valuable desktop space at workstations and allows users to leave bulky trap stands at home for a cleaner stage. Unique to the MSA5000 is its 5/8-27 threaded adapter, allowing it to be mounted to straight microphone stands. It is also compatible with the On-Stage Stands KS9102 Quantum Core Column Keyboard Stand, along with the KSA7575 and KSA7575+ Mic Attachment Bars for X-frame keyboard stands.

The tray of the MSA5000 is 10deep with an adjustable width from 14 -16.5. Ventilation slots provide air circulation to keep laptops cool, while rear, side, and front tabs keep the device safely in place. These same features make the MSA5000 ideal for small mixers, samplers, recorders, and other devices as well.
