Imagine: You're sitting at your desk, ready to record your podcast, but your microphone is in the way. You slide it back and forth, but it never quite fits right. Familiar? With a microphone arm that is a thing of the past! You click your microphone into place and you can rotate and swivel it to any desired position. Whether you want to stream, game, record voice-overs or make music, a microphone boom arm ensures that your microphone is always exactly where you want it. And the beauty is: It floats above your desk, so you have plenty of space left. Actually, a microphone boom is useful for anyone who uses a microphone and wants to be flexible with its placement.

Why choose a microphone arm?

Okay, so you have a microphone. But why would you need a microphone boom? Well, that's actually quite simple. First of all, such an arm gives you much more freedom of movement than a standard one. You can move your microphone in all directions without having to move the stand. Ideal if you like to move a bit while recording or streaming. Secondly, it simply saves you a lot of space on your desk. And let's be honest, who doesn't want a tidy desk? Finally, and perhaps most importantly, a microphone boom can give your sound quality a significant boost. Placing your microphone at the right distance and height will help prevent annoying background noise and vibrations.

What should you pay attention to when buying a microphone arm / boom arm?

Buying a microphone arm may seem simple, but there are a few things you should pay attention to. Of course, you want your microphone to be securely attached. So first check how much weight the arm can handle, so you can be sure it can carry your microphone. Then there is the reach of the arm. Measure how far the arm should be able to reach from your desk to where you want the microphone to be. And how do you want to attach the arm? With a clamp on your desk or through a hole in your desk? Choose what is most convenient for you. Oh yeah, and also check if the arm has cable management. This saves a lot of hassle with cables lying around. If you pay attention to all of these things, you are guaranteed to find the perfect microphone boom arm for you.
