RODE

Description

The RØDE PSA1 Pro Studio Arm is the ideal microphone boom arm for any studio setting. Supporting broadcast-style microphones from 1.5 to 2.4 lb., the PSA1 provides over 32" of horizontal reach and 33" of vertical extension for optimal mic placement. With a sturdy steel construction and quality components, this professional boom arm offers smooth and precise positioning to capture any source. The PSA1 is the perfect desktop stand for radio studios, broadcasters, musicians and podcasters alike.

Fluid 360º Rotation and Robust Build

The PSA1 features a sturdy steel-tube construction with durable springs and bearings for fluid movement in any direction. With a full 360º rotation, the PSA1 allows for precise mic placement at any angle. The robust build supports most standard broadcast mics for many years of dependable use.

Extensive Vertical and Horizontal Reach

An impressive 32.3" of horizontal extension and 33 inches of height adjustment provide ample coverage for any desktop. The long reach makes it easy to position a microphone for an interview, group podcast or instrument recording with multiple sound sources.

Versatile Mounting Options

With both a desk clamp and desk insert included, the PSA1 can mount to desktops up to 2.16" thick. The clamp attaches securely to the edge of the desk while the insert fits standard desk holes for a minimal footprint. Both attachments provide a stable base for the fully adjustable boom arm.

Cable Management and Additional Accessories

Velcro cable wraps are included to keep microphone cables neatly bundled and out of the way. An optional shockmount, the RØDE PSM1, is sold separately for even greater isolation. With additional accessories and cable management features combined with its premium build and adjustability, the PSA1 is a complete mic boom arm solution.

The Greatest Mic Arm for Any Desk

This is the best product for those that need a sturdy stand for a microphone on their desk. Very easy to set up and it works perfectly for my Shure SM7B. The swivel and versatility of the stand are awesome too without the weight of the microphone holding it down. I also like that the long microphone cable can be placed on the arm, and held down with velcro so that there are no cables all over your desk. I think it's a very well-made product that's worth the price.

Lasted 16 months before breaking

Arm is made of metal, base is made of plastic. Base snapped under the weight of a RODE NT1 mic after 16 months of use. You could find a much better quality product elsewhere for the same price if not cheaper. Worked great while it was usable.

    I use it primarily for solo guitar recording holding various microphones. It makes it very easing to position the microphone for the best sound from my acoustic. Plus, it is easy to stow away because it easily clamps to a table or even a chair.

  • A great mic arm...

    I got tired of tripping over and banging my guitars on mic stands and booms. Looked for shelf/table mount options. The Rode PSA1 was the sturdiest most articulate unit I could find, and I checked most all others. The mounting methods are very strong and solid. Construction is solid. You can see and feel the strength and quality.

  • This is a Good Sturdy Mic Arm

    Although this arm is primarily made for use with Rode mics, it will work with others. I use this arm with a SM58 and a two pound weight taped to the top extension to get a good weight balance. Also,I like the fact that Rode offers two mounting options(permanent and temporary).

  • Sturdy and does the job

    Needed a new arm for my microphone and saw this one. The price was right and it had the features I wanted so I figured why not. Got it in my studio and it was perfect for what I needed.

  • asked byBree

    fromLos Angeles, CA

    Will this work with a Rode Broadcaster condenser mic? No shock mount. I can't find a shock mount that's compatible with this Rode mic, possibly because it has one built in, but I'm finding it hard to find compatible accessories for the Broadcaster, even though it's a fantastic mic.

    Does it hold up a Shure Super 55?

    It will hold anything you can mount, but it probably will need a shock mount
  • asked byEryc

    Does this item come with everything it needs, the screws for the microphone, etc and does it already have screws so if I attatch a Shrue mic to it I should have no problems?
