Unboxing the Elgato Wave Mic Arm Pro – How Good Is It?
Elevate Your Audio Setup with the Elgato Wave Mic Arm Pro
Are you in the market for a microphone arm that enhances both your audio quality and your workspace aesthetics? Introducing the brand new Elgato Wave Mic Arm Pro!
Whether you are podcasting, creating videos, or streaming, having a reliable and customizable mic arm is crucial. In this blog post, I’m going to go into some of the features of the all new Elgato Wave Mic Arm Pro and see why it’s a game-changer.
Traditional Overhead Arms
Most microphone arms on the market are “overhead” designs, which have arms that are very visible in your video. While this type is common, it can obstruct your view and clutter your workspace.
Mass Market Low Profile Arms
Elgato introduced the Wave Mic Arm LP (“Low Profile”) to counter these issues, where the arm hovers just above the desktop, keeping your view unobstructed. Yet, even the low profile arm had its challenges, such as the knobs that were difficult to adjust and were plagued with instability issues over time.
Introducing the Elgato Wave Mic Arm Pro
The new Elgato Wave Mic Arm Pro is an improved version of its predecessor, bringing several new features and enhancements.
- Hydraulic suspension so your mic arm ‘floats’ using minimal effort to adjust up or down
- Cable storage is now underneath the arm, creating a more seamless design
- Easily adjustable hinges using the included hex key tool
- Magnetic hinge caps allowing you to customize the look of your mic arm (Elgato will be releasing new caps soon)
- Ability to add additional risers that raise the base horizontal arm to as high as you need (1 in the box, additional available for purchase at Elgato.com).
Conclusion
The Elgato Wave Mic Arm Pro is a robust and versatile solution for anyone looking to upgrade their low profile microphone arm. Its numerous features like the hydraulic suspension hinge, additional risers, and improved cable management make it stand out from previous models and competitors.
