This boom arm allows for easy and precise placement of my microphone, making it ideal for podcasting, streaming, and recording applications. Design and Build Quality: The PSA1 features a durable design with a parallelogram spring system that keeps the microphone perfectly stable, even when adjusting the arm's height. The arm offers a full 360-degree rotation and a horizontal reach of up to 820 mm, providing ample flexibility to position the microphone exactly where needed. Ease of Use: Installation was straightforward, and the arm comes with both desk clamp and desk insert mounting options, accommodating various desk configurations. The movement is smooth and noise-free, allowing for on-the-fly adjustments during recording sessions without introducing unwanted sounds. Compatibility: The PSA1 is compatible with a wide range of microphones, including the RØDE NT1-A and Podcaster, supporting microphones weighing between 700 g (1.5 lbs) and 1.1 kg (2.4 lbs) when combined with shock mount. Pros: Sturdy and durable construction Smooth and silent operation Flexible positioning with full 360-degree rotation Easy installation with multiple mounting options Cons: The included cable management straps could be more robust Overall, the RØDE PSA1 Professional Studio Arm has been a valuable addition to my recording setup, offering reliable performance and enhancing the overall workflow. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a high-quality boom arm for their microphone.

I never thought I’d fall in love with a collection of metal and springs, but here we are. The RØDE PSA1+ is the Rolls Royce of mic arms. My mic now hovers gracefully in front of me like it’s about to drop some Grammy-winning vocals, even though I mostly use it to sing to 2 people who listen to me (hi mother and dad). It moves like butter. Not like cheap margarine. Real, smooth, expensive butter. Silent, sturdy, and somehow makes me feel more professional than I actually am. Also, setup was so easy I didn’t even have to pretend to read the manual. It clamped onto my desk like it meant business, and hasn’t wobbled, squeaked, or sagged once. Can’t say the same for my posture. Is it overkill for a hobbyist? Probably. Will you feel cooler than you should while using it? Absolutely.

MUCH better quality and bigger than my clanky (albeit £15) Neewer arm. The Neewer held up my SM7B but it just felt completely brittle. The arm was clearly cheap though functional. I was concerned about the Rode arm at first because I couldn't find any pictures of the actual clamp. I just assumed that the cone shaped thing was screwed into the desk and so I didn't consider this arm because of that. I took the gamble and sure enough that clamp is there and the desk option is a quality metal thing to insert into a drilled desk. The joins of this arm are very sturdy and they hold my heavy SM7B in place. I've heard only a few squeaks out of it. I've heard that it's a bad idea to oil, since might no longer take the weight of a heavy mic due to lack of friction. It swings in the clamp stand (the cone) freely and can rotate quite fast. I swung the mic into play to do some quick vocals and it nearly swung and hit my screen. My fault however. The quality of the straights on this arm are clearly thicker than my previous arm (which bent) and the arm is heavy overall. Whilst fitting the SM7B mic, I was concerned that there wasn't enough clearance to plug the XLR into the SM7B holder due to the chrome tighteners. I managed to get it in, but it's at a slight angle and putting lateral pressure on it. The arm has an option to put the actual wire inside the frame, but I've no idea how to do this unless I were to be electrically savvy and good with a soldering iron to take apart an XLR cable! Overall,really pleased. My 'studio' is maturing as I age. I'm proud of my mic and this arm is the icing on the cake.

I ordered the Rode PSA1 to replace one of the cheaper boom arms, and while I was expecting an improvement, I'm impressed with just how much of an improvement the PSA1 actually is. In no particular order: - The (not-in-desk) mounting mechanism is robust, as is the microphone mount, and while there is a little bit of wobble when the boom arm is extended, it's no where near the amount of wobble my cheap boom arm generates. The Rode is positively solid in comparison. Movement range is 360 degrees, and manipulating the arm is easy. - The spring mechanism is internal rather than external, which gives it a nice clean look. This _is_ a weighted mechanism, so microphone assemblies of a certain weight are required (in this case, a shock mount was required to make my microphone heavy enough to keep the boom arm in place). - The build quality is excellent. The PSA1 is high quality construction. In terms of negatives, I don't have much to say. The arm is weighted so microphones under that weight won't work here, and it would be nice if the item weren't so expensive. Maybe an extra velcro tie would have been nice (four instead of three). However, unless you receive a faulty unit there's not much to complain about here. It's absolutely worth the premium over those cheaper boom arms and I'd recommend the Rode to anyone in a heartbeat.

The Rode PSA1+ is a very well-built microphone arm and a clear upgrade over cheaper alternatives. The movement is smooth and quiet, it holds position reliably, and once set up properly it feels solid and professional in daily use. Cable management is well thought out, with the integrated channels keeping everything tidy and reducing desk clutter. It also supports a wide range of microphones without sagging, which inspires confidence if you’re using heavier kit. That said, it’s not completely perfect. Adjusting tension can be a bit fiddly at first, and getting it dialled in exactly how you want takes some patience. The arm is also fairly substantial, so it may feel a little overkill for very lightweight microphones or smaller desks. Overall, it’s a high-quality boom arm that does exactly what it’s meant to do and does it quietly. A strong 4-star product excellent build and performance, just held back slightly by setup quirks rather than day-to-day use.

Whilst this boom arm is amazing quality, down to the base being very sturdy. The arm itself, is perfect. The only issue with this arm is the springs under a bit more tension than they need to be. If you have a heavy mic, it should keep it in place but after doing some research online, I had to make sure the screws on the joints were fully tightened. Without any instructions in the box, it caused some frustration. With the adjustment made, it now stays in place. Giving me freedom to use a microphone without cables everywhere on the desk or a banging feedback from the acoustic travelling thought the stand. All in all, before the screw adjustments - it was going to be sent back. After the adjustments, it’s a great working arm with a heavy base camp. Adjustable to tailor any position.

I got this stand to replace the more budget oriented Neewer desk clamp stand and it is a night and day difference. Although the Neewer stand did the job, after switching from the Elgato Wave:1 to the Shure MV7, it was visibly noticeable that the Neewer stand was struggling to hold the weight of the Shure mic. I did notice that the connector point from the actual desk clamp to the mic arm had the common issue of basically bending to a 90 degree angle due to the weight of a microphone. My first initial thoughts of opening this stand was that you can tell it was extremely high quality, and the fact it is spring loaded is just phenomenal, as it allows for much more manoeuvrability and better positioning overall! The one thing I will say, is that I thought I had a faulty unit to begin with, as where-ever I would position the mic, the spring loaded tension would kick in and the mic arm would raise itself up. I then found a video online explaining that if this happens, all you need to do is tighten the flathead screws in both the joints, one being at the "elbow" of the stand (not the screw down near the actual base itself, but the one above that) and the screw directly behind the mount for the mic. Upon tightening these both to the right amount after attaching my MV7, I have had absolutely zero issues, and the mic arm is perfectly weighted to stay in place, and has a perfect length to pull towards my mouth even if I am sitting back and relaxing in my chair! I was a bit sceptical at first to spend the money on it, but I'm completely certain that I won't have to buy another mic arm anytime soon, so it is a completely worthwhile investment :)

Easy to set up and attach to a desk. Very stable. The arm is sturdy, feels very solid and well made. It is quite heavy, so not so portable, if that matters. The springed arm moves super smoothly and silently when adjsting the position of your microphone and is very easy to rotate the angle. This is my first studio arm, upgrading from a desktop stand and I'm very pleased with this. I made a great choice, this will last me a long time and can be used with a heavier microphone such as Shure SM7B

Love this mic stand, its hold the mic where i need it and doesnt droop randomly like others i have used, its not super stiff but it is very sturdy, its funtions a bit better than expected, im not a huge fan of the RODE logo as its always on camera and im not sponsored by them. Im sure you could cover it. A+ for form and function. I bought it when it was on sale so at that point it was a good value. i mounted mine to the front of my desh as it wont clear the top of my 27" monitors and is not low profile.

I have been a RODE customer for years. And until now have used mic stands. But setting up my new studio space I needed to maximize floor space and stands just clutter up the place. I was looking for a boom arm for a while. And once I found the great reviews on the PSA1+ I was convinced. Honestly from the packaging which is first class, very protective and well thought out. To the effortless setup, which includes two attachment choices for you. 1 method is the clamp, which is a well thought out design, it has a broad and importantly FLAT connector between the two desk top piece and the under desk screw clamp. The broad flat connector means it can brace against the flat edge of your surface and stop any rotation or twisting of the mount. Method 2 a very cool looking 'in desk' solution. It requires drilling if you want to use this. But it is a very nice light gold anodized metal with cable management holes. I would have used this if I had the space on my studio desk. But I wanted it mounted right at the back of my top shelf as you see in my photos. So I can tuck the mic out of the way. I thought it might be too close to the edge to drill there. Once attached it is ROCK SOLID. With the microphone attached (my RODE mic) the arm is setup with a nice counterweight to it. Mic and arm moves as one piece and stays exactly where I put it. I did not have to adjust the tension at all, it worked right out of the box. Of course that might be more luck than anything else. But if needed both segments of the arm can have their tension increased or decreased. I looked at much cheaper alternatives and some really expensive ones above this price point. But this is the arm to choose. You won't be dissapointed.
