Review by R. Whitelaw for RODE PSA 1 Swivel Mount Studio Microphone Boom Arm
Rating:
I had been doing podcasts for about 2 years before I got this boom arm. What a difference it makes! While my initial concern was clearing up some desk space for me to have material I am using for my podcast on the desktop in front of me, it turned out to be a great way to also allow for more mobility as I record my podcast. Since my microphone is no longer anchored to a static mic stand on my desk, I am able to easily move about my workspace and just drag the mic along with me. It works silently and if you have a vibration cage attached to your mic while using this, you will not get any noise transmitted into your show when you do move the boom mic. In my case, the arm came perfectly balanced for my Mic right out of the box (Samson C03 Dual-Diaphragm Vocal Condenser Microphone with Case and Swivel Mount). This setup makes doing live shows (On blogspot radio for instance) much easier and comfortable.

So far, the only complaint I have is that as you move the arm around, it can slowly nudge the wire further and further down the arm, this results in the cable connection on the microphone getting pulled. Just remember to leave some slack at the microphone end and make sure the straps at the joints where the cable makes a turn are particularly tight.
