Shure by Gator Deluxe Broadcast Desktop Mic Boom Arm (SH-BROADCAST1)

I've had a bad experience with traditional spring mounted booms over time. So, for a long time using one has left a bad taste in my mouth. I'll keep my impressions brief: Pros: * Great Cable Management, cannot even see the cable * Great length * Extension arm provides a great amount of flexibility for different kinds of mics * Very stable * Can fit just about any kind of desktop provided you have a large enough lip * Metal constuction (aluminum?) * Well packaged for shipping Cons: * Cable management setup is a pain, but it's a one time thing. * It's large and doesn't easily collapse away when not in use * $$$ Expensive at $91! Fortunately I got a "Used (Like New)" one for about $60. At this price point I feel it was a good value. * Joints are plastic, and possibly a point of failure * When not tightened, my AKG mic was too heavy for the spring, and it slowly falls - But not an issue if you tighen it. Could be a downside depending on the weight of your mic.

All over it works great. The only thing I would change would be the twist tighteners to stay tightened more. The base tightener seems to untighten overtime. But the usability of it and how it tightens and moves is great.

This thing is tough. Definitely built for heavy microphones. Very stable and large enough to clear my iMac desktop. I do voiceover work and will on occasion guest host a podcast. This thing is perfect. I will be purchasing two more soon. Very satisfied with the purchase

The joints on this boom are made of plastic; the joint that holds the microphone broke off with infrequent use over the course of a few months. I’ve never had a mic straight up snap off of the boom before. This boom also buckles much easier than I expected while using my Shure SM7B. The knobs that control the stiffness of the elbows also come loose frequently. The Shure logo on the side is also fading somehow after such a short amount of time and infrequent usage. I’ve had less issues with other booms in the past, but they were also at a budget price point; not even close to the $100 that this boom is currently selling for. I would seriously consider looking elsewhere if you’re looking for a high quality boom. With that said, this boom does do a few things well. It’s quiet (which is actually the only reason I bought this in the first place), it’s easy to move, adjust, and install, and it looks nice. If this thing didn’t break so easily, I’d probably give it a 3/5. It’s not great, but it’s not terrible.

Massive, which isn’t the fault of the product at all, but I’ve noticed a few issues that are more critics on how it could be improved. ~ Making the arm completely collapsible would be perfect. That way it can completely tuck away rather than being a giant metal zigzag that has to stay tucked flush to the wall. I think that due to the size it could close tightly to reduce space when it’s not being used. ~ Adjustment knobs are confusing, and really tight. ~ Cord tucking tabs pop out a little too easily, but not a huge issue.

I had the Rode arm but switched my Rode NT1 mic for a Shure SM7, and I decided to try the Shure arm. I like the Shure design better because it stands higher over my monitors. Great for recording. I haven't had any issues with it, and it's good quality if assembled properly (watch the video provided on Amazon). The clamp is as solid as the Rode, and I like the option of hiding the cable within the arm. Great value for the money. I'm sticking with the Shure.

Works amazing held up great

This boom arm completely upgraded my setup. The build quality is top-tier — solid metal construction with a super smooth articulating action that doesn’t drift or sag, even with heavier mics like the SM7B. It looks pro, feels pro, and functions flawlessly. The hidden cable management is a huge plus — keeps everything clean and out of the way, which is great if you're on camera or just like a tidy desk. Mounting was simple, and it stays put once positioned. If you're podcasting, recording vocals, or streaming regularly, this is the boom arm to get.

Easy to install in multiple configurations. Just make sure you read the instructions before turning the tension knobs. Its perfect for branding too. Holds a heavy SM7B in any position I put it in.

Ik heb de shure arm besteld om te gebruiken met mijn SM7B ik heb de B keus genomen dat scheelt wat geld en de artikelen zijn "vaak al" prima. Nu miste het "extenderstuk" en dus was de arm onbruikbaar voor mijn mic !! Ik kon de arm terugsturen en een nieuwe bestellen maar daar gaan ook weer dagen overheen en veel rompslomp. De verkoper mailen en vragen hoe dit op te lossen was niet mogelijk. Uiteindelijk bij thomann een extender besteld en nu is het ok wel slordig en een beetje sneu!

Shure by Gatorのデスクトップマイクアームスタンドを購入し、１年ほど使用しています。 結論から言うと、非常に満足度の高い製品です。 まず驚いたのはその安定性の高さ。土台部分がしっかりしており、マイクを取り付けた状態でもグラつきは一切ありません。Shure SM7dBのような重めのマイクでも、しっかり支えてくれますし、しっかりと止めたいところで止まってくれます。 アームの動きも非常にスムーズで、上下・前後の調整が片手で簡単にできます。角度調整時の音も静かで、配信中や収録中でも気にならないのは嬉しいポイントです。 デザインもシンプルでスタイリッシュ。ケーブルマネジメント機能もあり、見た目がすっきりまとまるのも高評価です。クランプ式の取り付けも簡単で、机を傷つけにくい仕様になっています。 価格帯としてはやや高めかもしれませんが、安定性・耐久性・操作性すべてが揃っており、プロ用途や長く使いたい方には十分に価値のある一本だと思います。

Juste top-tier, l’installation facile, pas un ressort de visible contrairement à d'autres bras. Les cables se passent facilement. Rien à redire

Almost damaged my sm7dB. The string inside broke from the attachment and the mic arm lost its hold all of a sudden and the mic fell down. In just one year this arm is now in the trash. Totally disappointed by seeing the flimsy design for an arm bragging about ability to hold heavy mics like sm7dB.
