Product Information

The mobility and flexibility of a boom arm are very important. A good boom arm allows for 360 degrees rotation of its base and should have at least 2 other joints for ample adjustability of positioning. This makes it easier to find the perfect microphone position. But be wary of the quality of the joints. Make sure they are strong enough to support the whole weight of the microphone even when it is fully extended. Spring System & Tension Along with the double-layer pop filter, inside the box, you also get a standard microphone clip that will be able to fit most standard-sized handheld microphones. But, as we mentioned before, you won’t be needing that pop filter because the HyperX Quadcast already has it built-in. How to choose the best boom arm for the HyperX Quadcast

In addition, you could add a hard material between the metal clamp screw and the soft desk material, such as a piece of flat wood. 4. The Mounting Clamp Bends Sideways Unlike other cheap boom arms with only one table mounting clamp/mounting option, this model has two: the dual-axis swivel and the standard C-clamp mount. That gives you flexibility for your desk setup. The best boom arms can clip and unclip from your desk, giving you maximum interchangeability. If you’re a music producer or sound engineer on the go, boom arms provide ease of ability to shift your studio on the go. 3. Great for Content CreatorsAt 1.87kg it’s sturdy, and can hold a respectful 1.9kg of microphone, but trust us when we say this, it’s no Compass or Gator. Nevertheless, its smooth to move too, and from what we were able to tell in testing, doesn’t squeak or rattle, even with a mic in situ. Speaking of mics, it also holds the majority of even the best vocal microphones with ease, including the Rode NT1-A, Blue Yeti and AT2020. However, that’s pretty much it. And that’s because unlike the majority of its competition, the Inno Gear isn’t designed to be revolutionary or look super gorgeous on camera. The quality of this tube-style boom arm is superb as the fit and finish looks sharp. One side of the boom arm has the Blue logo on two of the three pivot points, so you might want to position the stand on your desk to where these are facing the camera of your guest. The other side has friction-hinges that are meant to be hand-tightened once the boom arm is articulated how you like it.

This will surely make your HyperX Quadcast stand out in terms of aesthetics. Also, the sleek and elegant design of the mic stand helps further that premium look and feel. Bent threads do not turn evenly and, as a result, may not tighten the clamp as expected. In that case, it might appear bent from an angle.And yet despite its compact size, the Elgato LP doesn’t feel cheap. It’s metal build feels really solid and it’s still a fair weight at 1.69kg. We’re particularly fans of the cable race, which is concealed below two metal plates that are held in place by magnets. Classy! So if we had a gun to our head and were told to crown one of these king, we’d say the Elgato Wave High Rise is the best microphone boom arm for sale (now) in 2023.

With a boom arm, music producers and engineers can easily save space to work (great if you only have a small space for your home studio setup). That means more breathing room for you in often cramped quarters. The result might not be perfectly straight, but it should be enough to fix most of the damage. Remember not to overheat the screw – just blow the flame above the metal until it gets soft enough. Whether its clamp system works with your desk setup. All of the arms in this list have desk C-clamps. Keep mic angle adjustments smooth and quiet, with hand-tightened friction hinges there’s no need for any tools; Compass stays in place throughout your audio recordings and live broadcastingThe spring tension is very strong, maybe even too strong. I am using mine with an Audio Technica ATR2020-USB microphone. I use this setup for Zoom calls and voice overs. This is the older version, and it's a substantial microphone in terms of weight. Since the 1990s, RODE audio equipment has been a staple in many professional studios or at-home setups. And thanks to this, it’s no wonder that the PSA1 finds itself at the top of our little list. Reason being that both the Elgato boom arms do a stellar job of allowing you to have ultimate flexibility when it comes to where you position your mic. So while the Low Profile isn by no means bad, the High Rise does offer you the most flexibility out of the two. That extra height is really useful for when mounting cameras + other gadgets too. Open up the boom arm without causing any damage. A lot of mic boom arms come pre folded in the box and because of their spring action have been known to violently spring open when taken out. So be sure to unbox your boom in a big space!
