RØDE PSA1+ Professional Studio Arm with Spring Damping and Cable Management, Black

So far so good. Holds up my mic just fine and I do not have to fight it to move it around my work area. Looks clean and has a nice quality feel to it. The only thing to be aware of is if you are using a SM7 or SM7dB you will need an extension tube to mount the mic onto as SURE has their XLR connector right where it will interfere with the connection point. The extension tubes are cheap to buy or you can make your own solution. I used some WD-40 on the horizontal rotation joins and this boom now moves very smooth and free of squeaks.

So far so good, easy install, easy mic install, and easy cord install. Range of motion is flawless, size is perfect for my set up, sturdiness is great(doesn’t feel cheap), stiff when it needs to be ;), Plastic material is well made, and adjustments can be made super fast. This is the all in one mic stand. Rode thought of it all.

Ordered to replace another mic arm. The quality of this build is a lot better than the one I had. Sturdy and easy to move around when mounted to my desk. The cord easily fits in the clips to ensure the cord is not in the way. Easy to assemble.

We buy more Rode gear than we should, but they never disappoint. We have 4 of these arms for podcasting and they work really well with heavy mics like Rode Podmic and Shute SM7B.

LOVE This device. Rogue does it best.

I haven't got to fully use the mic yet since the cables I bought were too thick to mount to the arm but the quality of this arm is the best I've had. Very easy to install and it floats effortlessly while also keeping the mic sturdy and in place. If you have the money, would recommend getting this mount. Just make sure the XLR cables are thin and not heavy duty ones.

If you told me that I could or should get excited about a friggin microphone arm, you would be crazy! I will caveat this, as this is my first of 1. I have a couple of cheap arms for other things, just not microphones. I DO, however, know quality when I see it. So, I bought the Rode XDM 100 microphone because I plan to start a podcast at some point. I reviewed reviews on about 40+ swing arms and kept arriving at this one, the Rode PSA1+.Let's get this out of the way first. It's one of the more expensive arms, but for the cost difference, the small amount to pay for the upgrade is worth it. The construction is made of high-quality materials. I like that the arm does NOT have a spring on it. Springs tend to make noise when you move them. Rode claims that it is "smooth and silent." I am here to tell you that it is.In addition to the above, I find the following important too:* I have to say that I love the way I can tighten the microphone in place with two opposing and easy-to-use nuts that are formed for your fingers to turn. The XDM 100 is a horse, so it's good to know that once I lock it into place, it will stay put. You don't have to be a powerlifter to crank it down. This brings up another point.* The microphone I have is pretty heavy. I am not sure of the weight. It is slightly lighter than the Rode NT1 5th gen I tried. The arm moved around in all directions, and held it up without fail. I believe it can handle more weight with no problem.* For cable management, four integrated snap-in clamps hold your USB or XLR cable in place, keeping them discrete. The rest is up to you.* The neoprene cover is nice because it dresses up the arm, which is built like any other. There are four bars connected to a pivot point. Two on top. Two on the bottom. It's kind of like a human arm in a sense because of the two bars on the top. Sure, it's a novelty to have the Røde logo on it, but honestly, it looks much nicer than the PSA1, which is basically the same thing without the cover. Okay, $30 for a stupid cover? A little pricey if you ask me, but I am glad I spent the extra $ for it. Shame on you, Røde!* The hardest part about installation was figuring out exactly where to place the base. After that, it only took as long as I needed to twist the screw-on clamp onto my desk and then put the post (at the bottom of the arm) into the hole. DONE. There is no need for instruction because it's just simple to figure out.I don't get super excited over much, but I am more than satisfied with the Røde PS1+. Maybe that's why it has a 4.8 rating over 1,169 customers as of today (6/11/2024)

The product is great i love it the quality is amazing but the only issue or bad thing that happened is that the box came dirty and a little damaged but thankfully nothing happened to the product itself
