Set the Microphone around the Speaker

A desk-mounted boom arm gives you a way to bring the microphone toward the speaker and move it aside when the desk is needed for another task. The PSA1+ is intended for controlled positioning around a recording or streaming workspace. Plan the mount location around the keyboard, monitor and seat so the microphone can reach the speaking position without crowding the equipment.

Match the Load to the Arm

The supported microphone and mounting-accessory load runs from 94 g to 1.2 kg. Use the combined weight of the microphone, shock mount or clip and attached accessories when checking compatibility. A load within the arm’s stated operating range helps its counterbalanced arrangement work as intended, making the weight specification an important part of choosing an arm for an existing microphone.

Quiet Movement through Your Session

The PSA1+ uses a parallelogram spring arrangement intended for smooth, quiet movement while keeping the microphone orientation consistent during adjustment. Rubber contact points and neoprene arm covers help reduce unwanted mechanical noise around the support. It suits a desk where you may reposition the microphone during a conversation, stream or other recording session.

Choose the Desk Mounting Arrangement

Both a padded desk clamp and a threaded desk insert are included. The published compatible desk thickness is up to 70 mm with the clamp or up to 55 mm with the threaded mount. Choose the mounting method appropriate to the desk, following the installation guide so the support is secure before fitting the microphone and routing its cable.

Keep Reach and Cables in Mind

The PSA1+ provides full 360-degree rotation and integrated cable management. Its published fully extended dimensions are 65 mm wide, 940 mm long and 100 mm deep; collapsed, the length is 500 mm and depth is 180 mm. Use those dimensions to judge how the arm will sit around the desk and leave the cable enough freedom for repositioning.
