Product Information

The added weight capacity is largely due to the redesigned ‘parallelogram spring design’, which also affords you precise mic placement and super-smooth movement.

A boom arm isn’t just for one thing, although you may buy it for a specific reason. Here’s 4 good reasons to invest in the best microphone boom arm you can afford… Usage recommendation: mic arm designed for overhead use, so trying to position your mic lower may cause you problems. Sound quality– Although it might not seem obvious at first, one major benefit of a mic boom is sound quality. This is because the main role of the boom is to steady the mic and keep it stable whilst you’re recording. Something that’s essential if you want to maximise the quality of your audio. What more, the better you can position the mic, the clearer your finished sound will be. The way a cheap microphone boom moves is also nowhere near as smooth as its premium rivals. In many cases, the weight of the microphone can cause these cheaper stands to jolt and emit a spring noise. Not the best sound to have crop up midway through your 1 hour podcast.What’s more, if you have a mic like the Shure SM7B, the High Rise shouldn’t restrict you in terms of the XLR port. And even for those with lightweight mics, the Elgato comes with an included counterweight. All of which means that not only is it the most flexible in terms of position, but it also allows you to mount arguably the largest amount of mics too! In general, I recommend anyone to get a boom arm without a built-in XLR cable. Those cables are permanently built-in and you cannot remove them without damaging them (cutting the XLR connector).

Two mounting attachments inside the box – a very wide desk clamp for smaller studio use, and a threaded desk insert – for desks with a cutout, geared for more professional use, Cheap microphone boom arms tend to have weaker springs than their high end rival. The rest of the mechanics tend to be on the cheap side too. Another common error with adjustable boom arms is the tension adjustment – on many cheaper booms, the knobs tend to be made of a cheap plastic and can very easily be overtightened. All of which makes the stand virtually useless. While on the smaller size, this mic boom arm is a solid addition to most studios, and comes with a few unique features not seen on other models.Below you can find a detailed explanation of why those are the best, along with some alternatives. What is a Microphone Boom Arm? The top arm is now one element, which is something expected from most premium arms – looks a bit cheap,

Overhead Stands – These stands are used when the mic needs to be positioned at greater heights or very different angles. Overhead stands are more expensive as compared to other stands. Because unlike a traditional mic arm, the LP isn’t tall by any means. It’s squat and sits low to you desk. So much so that it almost hovers over its surface, opposed to having the mic dropping in from above. Ideal for Podcasters, recording studios, but most particularly Gamers, who don’t want any screen obstructions. Tripod Boom Stands – A tripod boom stand has a long boom arm, which gives the stand a longer reach. For musicians, particularly instrumentalists, this can be the best podcasting microphone stand they are searching for. Additionally, high-quality mic boom arms can fold right into your desk when not in use, saving even more space. 2. Easy To Transport

A best microphone boom arm will be built using more robust materials and using a more precise construction process. You can expect better longevity and quieter work when changing arm position. Often you will also find cable holders as a cable management system. There are a lot of lower-priced boom arms on the market, but they all pale in comparison to the value and quality that the Samson MBA series offers.
