Know before you buy
Unlike traditional arms that extend upward and often block your face or monitor, the Wave Mic Arm LP sits below your shoulder line. This keeps your field of view clear, which is ideal if you are on camera for streaming or video calls.
The arm is built to support microphones weighing up to 2 kg (4.4 lbs). This covers most popular broadcast-style dynamic and condenser microphones used in professional setups.
The included desk clamp is adjustable and fits surfaces up to 60 mm (2.4 inches) thick. It provides a secure, stable grip on most standard desks and tables.
Yes, the arm includes thread adapters to ensure compatibility with standard 1/4", 3/8", and 5/8" microphone mounts. You should be able to attach almost any standard shock mount or mic clip without needing extra parts.
The arm features built-in channels along the length of the boom. You simply tuck your XLR or USB cable into these channels and snap the magnetic covers back into place for a clean, clutter-free look.
Absolutely. The arm offers 360-degree horizontal rotation, allowing you to easily push the microphone aside or tuck it away when you aren't using it.
