Frequently asked questions
What's the weight limit on most desk boom arms?
Most clamp-on boom arms (Rode PSA1, Innogear, TONOR T20) handle 1–1.5 kg / 2.5–3.5 lbs. The Rode PSA1+ adds reinforcement for heavier broadcast mics like the SM7B with shock-mount and pop filter (around 1.5 kg / 3.5 lbs total). Always check the listing if your mic plus shock-mount exceeds 1 kg.
How is a boom arm better than a desk tripod?
It isolates the mic from desk vibrations (typing, mouse clicks), positions the mic at speaking height without a tall stand, and frees the desk surface. The single biggest perceived audio quality jump for streamers is moving from a desk tripod to a real boom arm.
Do boom arms screw onto any microphone?
Most ship with a 5/8-inch threaded adapter that fits 5/8 and 3/8-inch mics. The included thread adapter steps down to 3/8 if needed. Some brands like Elgato Wave and Blue Compass include their own adapter sets.
