Rode PSA1 Studio Boom Arm

Having searched for a reliable boom arm, this one has met all expectations. The winning features for me are:

- the wide clamp surface, so it doesn't wobble

- hidden springs (which also mean it's quiet)

- the desk attachment, so it can have a permanent home, but also be easily lifted out anytime



It takes the weight of the Rode NT1-A with suspension cradle and pop-filter, and works perfectly in my home studio. There are two of us using it at home, and we're very different heights, so it is great to finally be able to position a microphone without needing to endlessly adjust a stand angle and height - this is so mich easier, and uses a fraction of the space.

This is a lovely piece of kit and looks great attached to my desk with my Procaster mic and PSM1 shock mount, all Rode equipment. It is well made and solid. The arm comes complete with two fittings, the clamp for general attachment to your desk, or a silver locking cylinder if you have a pre-made hole in your desk for it to fit into. The Procaster is a heavy mic and this arm just holds it into place solidly and confidently. The arm will not drop or budge on its own due to the weight of the mic unless you move it yourself. It also comes with three small velcro straps to hold your mic wire in place along the arm. I am so happy with this product.
