Theremin Accessories
If you're buying a theremin, you'll probably need a few important accessories to go along with it. Here are some recommendations.
Microphone Stands
Most theremins today will mount to a standard microphone stand. The best stands have steady bases to prevent wobbling and are adjustable for players of different heights. Here are a couple of options to consider:
On Stage Round Base Microphone Stand
This is a great inexpensive stand with several features that make it suitable for theremins. The heavy base prevents wobbling, you can easily adjust the height by twisting a collar, and it has a cord clip so you can attach the cords to the stand. This is not the best stand if you plan to travel much, for traveling we recommend a tripod stand. Also available in white

On Stage Tripod Microphone Stand
This stand features a wider tripod base for stability as well as the ability to fold up for easy travel. It's a great stand for the thereminist on the go!

Instrument Cables
You'll need a standard 1/4" instrument cable to connect your theremin to an amplifier. We recommend cables at least 10 feet in length.
Live Wire Advantage Series Straight/Angled Cable - 10 Foot
This is a great inexpensive stand with several features that make it suitable for theremins. The heavy base prevents wobbling, you can easily adjust the height by twisting a collar, and it has a cord clip so you can attach the cords to the stand. This is not the best stand if you plan to travel much, for traveling we recommend a tripod stand.

Amplifiers
Amplifiers turn the electrical signal from your theremin into sound. There are many styles to choose from. Most theremins require a keyboard amplifier because of the large range of frequencies they can produce. If you choose to use a guitar amplifier, you may need to modify your theremin to work properly with the amp.
Moog Music TB15 Etherwave Theremin Amplifier
Moog Music created the TB-15 as a practice amp for the Etherwave theremin series. It's small and portable, making it easy to carry to practice sessions or lessons. It's perfect for the home, but if you're performing with a band, you'll need something a little more powerful.
