Know before you buy
The C-clamp is compatible with desks ranging from 0.8 inches to 2.7 inches in thickness. As long as your desk surface falls within this range and has a flat edge for the clamp to grip, it will mount securely.
The MST002 supports microphones weighing up to 3.3 lbs (1.5kg). This is sufficient for most popular podcasting and streaming microphones, including many large-diaphragm condensers and dynamic broadcast mics.
The advanced damping system is designed to eliminate 'bounce' or sagging when you adjust the arm. It ensures that once you position your microphone, it stays exactly where you put it without drifting or vibrating.
Yes, the arm includes adapters for 1/4", 3/8", and 5/8" threads. This makes it compatible with almost all standard microphones and shock mounts on the market.
The low-profile design keeps the arm tucked below your line of sight, which is ideal if you are on camera and want to keep your face clear. It provides a clean, unobtrusive look compared to traditional high-rise boom arms.
The heightening pole is optional and provides extra clearance if you need your microphone positioned higher above your desk. You can choose to use it for more vertical range or remove it for a more compact, low-profile configuration.
