Wave Mic Arm Low Profile Microphone Boom Arm

Originally, I was using a cheap spring base, high profile arm that I've had for 10 years maybe more. With my new desk setup, I found it got in the way, both physically and visually and looked messy. Not to mention the springs would make an awful noise when adjusting.The Elgato Wave Low Profile arm is genuinely better in every way. It's highly adjustable, sturdy and very supporting of my microphone (A Wave:3 on a shock mount). It doesn't get in the way, as it can be neatly folded away to the side of the desk, or even behind your monitor if your setup allows. When in use, it doesn't obstruct the monitor, keyboard or mouse and you can genuinely forget it's there while playing. The magnetic cable tidy tray is a nice touch that fits wide cables and makes the overall appearance much neater.Setup is incredibly easy, and the padded clamp is very nice for protecting the desk.Only complaint is that a longer arm could be better for giving more flexibility with where to clamp it on my large desk.It's pricey, but for how neat it looks on the desk, the quality and adjustability and the fact that mic arms basically last forever, I'm very happy with the purchase.

Very solid great low profile arm this is exactly what I expected. Very high end top quality materials are use and I love the cable socket that has a magnetic cover. Very easy to setup and to use. Optimal weight and perfect stability for the shure mv7+

This has to be the best mic arm I have ever used, its designed soooo well its smooth but not so smooth to hinder the use, it has an adjustable butterfly fixing on the joints which allow you to adjust the resistance in the arm joints to your preference from super slick to a velvety resistance so once you have used it a few times it kinda grooves itself so only the parts that need to move move and the rest just stays as is which means you can quickly get it from its resting place and bring it swiftly into position with a confidence and certainty it will remain and not slowly sag like the cheaper ones do.Another nice addition is the magnetic cover that runs over the arms allowing you to neatly tuck cables in there and shut them away, again the covers fit really nice and have a staisfying snap and weight that keeps them in place - the magnetic charge is just enough so it stays but is also easy enough to remove again.In conclusion the whole thing is just well made and well thought out - you can tell that it has been designed with thought and testing not just put together of a blueprint.If you are on the fence get off it and buy this you wont regret it.

I was looking for a low profile mic arm that could sit under my raised monitors when not in use. Nothing else on the market offered this to me; everything was big, loud, and required lots of space above and around to work effectively.This Elgato mic arm is perfect for my use case. When not in use, it sits - rather inconspicuously - under my monitors, without taking ownership of the desk space thereof; I have room for a Nest Hub, my smartwatch stand, and my Qi charger to sit under it, and I can still extend it out for use without any issues.Some of you may be concerned about the price point; is it really worth ~£90? The short answer: yes.The long answer? Most of the mic arms you'll see below this price point are made of skinny tubes of thin, cheap metal, with stiff, cheap springs, and wrapped in thin, cheap plastics. Even "big brand" names will charge MORE than this for the same cheap tat. These options will break, even with the most careful movement, unless you put them in one position and never move them at all. On top of that, every other mic arm will loom over you like a tower.Nothing about the Elgato mic arm feels cheap. It's made from thicker metal in all the right places. Even the covers for the cable trench are metal. Where plastic is used, it's thick, sturdy, and coloured to match the metal; you wouldn't know it was plastic at a glance. The mic arm movement is smooth, yet I never feel like the slightest knock will shunt it out of place (which cannot be said for the cheap build options). Most importantly, it's understated; this arm makes decent mics pop out, and not-so-decent mics look significantly better than they otherwise would.All in all, this is one of the best purchases I have made in recent years. If you're considering this, the only issue you should have is whether you're happy to meet the investment of the high price point. My only guidance here would be: you spend it now, on this mic arm, all in one go, and can have confidence it'll last a lifetime... or you spend more over a longer period on an endless cycle of replacing the cheaply made alternatives with more cheaply made alternatives.

"This is a really nice mic arm with excellent build quality. My only minor complaints are that I wish the magnets on the cable management plates were a bit stronger, and it’s a little pricey—but that's typical for Elgato products. Overall, it's a great addition to the setup.

I spent way too long researching which mic arm to get but in the end opted for one of the more premium options that still fell within my budget.Very pleased with the choice! For my relatively small desk, the low profile arm allows me to push the boom out of the way when not in use but still easily reached for when it's needed.Very robust feeling with metal construction, magnetic covers on the cable routing and some really nice touches all round. I'm especially impressed with the fact you can rotate the handle on the clamp by pulling it down so you can hide it out the way once you're done attaching it.

While the arm itself is high quality, the joints in it are not so much. for the price, you'd assume it held well over time, but I've found that mine has a natural sag to it when using pretty much any microphone I have. I find myself readjusting it over time which is what I wanted to avoid having paid so much. The cable routing feature is great, and the magnets have ever caused any signal interference, they're just in awkward spots that can compress the cables sometimes.

ماشاء الله تبارك الرحمن استخدمته مع مايك شور SM7b ، الذراع متين ومايهتز ولايطلع صوت اثناء تحريكه ، وماهو ثقيل ، وتركيبه جدا جداً سهل ، معه كتيب ، والتغليف شي فاخر

Después de usar el Elgato Wave Mic Arm LP durante varias semanas, estoy realmente impresionado con su diseño y funcionamiento. Es un brazo pensado para setups limpios y profesionales, y se nota desde el primer momento.Lo más destacable es el perfil bajo. A diferencia de los brazos tradicionales que suelen bloquear parte del monitor, este se mantiene por debajo de la línea de visión, lo que permite tener la mesa más despejada y una vista totalmente libre de la pantalla. Para streaming o trabajo diario es una ventaja enorme.La construcción es sólida, sin holguras ni ruidos metálicos. Los movimientos son suaves y silenciosos, y mantiene el micrófono firme incluso con modelos pesados. No he tenido que estar ajustando tornillos ni reapretando nada: una vez colocado, se queda en su sitio.Detalles que me han gustado mucho:• ✔️ Gestión de cables integrada, muy limpia y práctica• ✔️ Base estable y firme, no se mueve ni con golpes suaves en la mesa• ✔️ Ajustes fluidos, puedes mover el micrófono sin hacer ruido• ✔️ Excelente para setups pequeños o escritorios pegados a la pared• ✔️ Compatible con la mayoría de micrófonos XLR y USB

Works fine with Shure MV6
