Elgato Wave Mic Arm Pro, Gas Spring Microphone Arm

Really good quality, if you wish to move the mic closer to you, do not hold the mic and pull the arm closer, use the actual arm to move it as the rotary ball under the mic screw isn’t strong enough to withstand brute force and will loosen the tightened ball, but if you loosen it and then retighten it, it will stay firm again and doesn’t lose its grip regardless how many times you have to retighten, the set up of it was very easy, it’s also very quiet when moving about. I would say it’s good for the price you spend, especially as the cable management in the arm itself is sealed by a magnetic strip, so you don’t have to risk damaging the arm itself when removing the XLR or usbc cable, but overall the functions works intended and is a very good product.

The title says it all really, this is one of the best mic arms I've used, and I’ve used quite alot. It is a very well built mic arm and looks amazing. The magnets for cable management are great and it fits onto any desk seamlessly. It have very good support as its a gas spring powered arm and easily hold my shure sm7b. It is on the expensive side for mic arms, but you will never need to buy another one because it is that good

Coming from a £34 mic arm to this is night and day. Was super easy to setup and attach my SM7b, and so far seems to be holding it quite well. Cable routing my XLR cable was very easy and the magnetic clips are solid. I just love how smooth and easy it is to move the arm around and the flexibility. Compared to my old mic arm which was very stiff, made of plastic and not very flexible, this Elgato mic arm is way better and worth the money in my opinion. The material is top quality too all over.

To be honest, the price of this is disgusting. It feels like an unhinged amount to pay for a consumer mic-arm, and it really is. And I feel like I'm going to need a shower after writing this review, for actually encouraging this kind of pricing. That said: I wish I'd just bought this in the first place. I tried numerous different arms. None of them were the outright cheapest; I started in the mid-range, before trying upper-mid-range stuff. Still, none of them lasted, thanks to poor material and/or design choices – while also never really fully meeting my requirements. This thing though? It's utterly bomb-proof. Not a bit of cheap plastic filler in the whole thing¹. It feels like you could use it as a cricket bat for a year, and still have a perfectly serviceable mic-arm by the end. At full extension, my previous arm (which didn't even have any springs or a piston!) would droop significantly with the weight of the mic. This, however, stays level and stable enough that it feels like you could use it for microsurgery. And, speaking of weight, I've got the fairly chonky RØDE PodMic on the end of this, which the piston-spring holds steady at any angle without issue, and with plenty of headroom left on the tension adjustment to really lock it in place if needed. While the 360° hinges don't have thumb-screws on them for adjusting their tension, like many other models, I actually prefer that. Those tended to get in the way, or get outright snagged on things, while still being fiddly as heck to adjust. This just opts for an allen-key². It's simpler, cleaner, less prone to breaking, and allen-keys are inherently of a design that are much easier to torque up (and replace) anyway. The cable channels are also pretty much the best out there. Plenty of space for chonky cables, sleek and completely out of the way, while still being super easy to access quickly. The covers are also fully metal, as with the rest of the body. They're held in place with magnets – and I wouldn't worry about the covers ever accidentally falling off. Those magnets are not screwing around. [hah, geddit? haaaaa :( ] Finally, it... just plain looks good? Clean and understated, but coherent. Nothing looks out of keeping with any other part, and nothing looks cheap. ...which is just as well because, y'know, like I said, it's really freaking not. ¹[Disclosure: there are actually three plastic parts in this, but they are all appropriate for the use: 1) the interior ball-joint for the final link to the mic itself, which would be fairly terrible and wear out were it a metal; 2) the bushings lining the interior of the two 360° hinges, which again, by nature can't exactly be a metal; 3) the "thumb-screw" handle for the desk-clamp. That's maybe the only one that could be questioned, but is both fairly tough plastic, and a part you will, in reality, rarely be interacting with.] ²[This does also ship with an allen-key. Since the piston tension adjustment and the horizontal-hinge grubs have differing diameters, the provided key also has differing diameters at each end (4mm head for piston tension, 2mm tail for hinge grub-nuts). It also has a chonky plastic tab in the middle of it to make it even easier to grip and adjust. That said, given the length of an allen-key (this is a roughly-standard 82mm long for a 4mm head), make sure you leave enough clearance from the back of the desk-mount to get the key in there.]

It's a little missleading in the videos not displaying the knob to pull it up and down but it served it's purpose for a good 4 months, I recently upgraded to the PSA 1+ but if you're looking for a low profile boom arm go for it!

Took some setting up to get the tension perfect, I'm using it with the Elgato teleprompter and a Sony A6500 and once it's been setup it works fairly well

This stand holds the mic perfectly in place! It’s incredibly stable and made with high-quality materials, ensuring a secure and reliable setup. Very impressed!

Excellent quality, easy to assemble and a breeze to use. Definitely worth the money.

Trovato in offerta, è comunque un prodotto costoso. A parte questo, è stabile, il fatto che sia regolabile a seconda del peso del microfono è ciò che consente la precisione nel posizionamento. Occupa molto meno spazio rispetto ai supporti alti, sappiate che comunque la parte bassa del braccio la avrete "sopra la tastiera". Con il rialzo integrato, sia lei che il mouse restano utilizzabili, diventa difficile se dovete guardarci su o avete vicino delle pulsantiere come lo stream deck. Ciò detto, altamente consigliato, se quelli sopra per voi non sono problemi

I've tried every arm for my shure mic, and they all sucked! This is the best arm for Mics! I trid going cheap, as I was like: "It's only holding mic, it doesn't NEED to be super expensive" Well, you pay for what you get. You want a Mic holder that stays put where you put it, and never have issues with it! This is the one. I'll only buy Elgato Products for my streaming set up from now on! They are just the best, period!

Acheté pour ma fille afin de fixer un micro Logitech Yeti qui pèse lourd, je ne suis vraiment pas déçu. Le support est très stable, j'ai pourtant tardé avant d'écrire ce commentaire mais 6 mois plus tard il n'a pas bougé et je n'ai pas eu besoin de le resserrer. On sent vraiment la qualité, certes à un prix plutôt premium mais je ne voulais pas avoir à repasser derrière fréquemment pour le refixer. Le système de retenue est vraiment bien fait et tout est dissimulé, mêmes les câbles grâce à des caches magnétiques. Si vous recherchez un bras de microphone de qualité c'est clairement un bon choix.

Im not big on writing reviews, but my experience warranted sharing. After trying many mic boom arms for my home office desk setup, I found this one to be by far the best. I have an older Blue Yeti mic (1.5lbs) and I wanted an arm that can hold it overhead out of camera shot. I also wanted one I could dynamically reposition without having to untighten and retighten a bunch of joints. I tried several arms including from companies I would normally expect - from experience - to have great products, and was continually disappointed. A professional studio would use a high end Yellowtec or OC White boom arm but for 3-5x the price. What is available for the rest of us who need a good product without having to take out a second mortgage? This boom arm is exactly what I was looking for. I can put the mic exactly where I want it for a specific use case and it is very stable. It makes no noise as you move it around and the spring tension is adjustable to the weight of the mic so it will stay where you put it. It's a little skinnier than a high end arm but it is very adequate to the weight of something like a typical podcasting or vocal mic. The skinny size makes it unobtrusive and the springs are internal which I prefer. The magnetic cable covers are brilliant. It can be mounted overhead or slide out from under your monitors. Either way, it makes for a very clean and professional looking setup. Super pleased!
