Wave:3 White with Mic Arm Low Profile, Fully Adjustable with Cable Management Channel, perfect for Podcast, Streaming, Gaming, Home Office, Free Mixer Software, Plug & Play for Mac, PC

The Elgato Wave Mic Arm LP is exactly what I was looking for to clean up my desk setup. The low-profile design keeps the arm out of the camera frame while still putting the mic right where it needs to be. It looks sleek and professional without taking over the desk. Movement is smooth and quiet, and once positioned, it stays put. The build quality feels premium, with sturdy joints and strong tension that easily support a heavier mic. Installation was quick, and the cable management channels are a nice touch for keeping everything tidy. If you stream, work from home, or just want a clean, minimalist mic setup, this arm is absolutely worth it. Reliable, well designed, and built to last.

I’ve tried a few mic arms, and this one is by far my favorite. The low-profile design is perfect for my setup, giving everything a clean, professional look. I have it mounted at the back of my desk, and it just seems to float in place. The built-in cable management keeps things tidy, and the range of motion makes it easy to swing out of the way when not in use. Build quality is excellent—sturdy, smooth, and reliable. Highly recommend!

I bought this arm to go along with my Rode NT-USB microphone (seen in the photo accompanying this review). It works fantastically, allowing me to position the mic wherever I want for recording or video calls to achieve perfect sound quality. It was easy to assemble and set up on my desk. The wire routing setup and wire cable channels are very cleverly designed. I have been using this for a couple of months now, and I can't think of anything I would change on this arm. It is very sturdy, and the ease of movement is perfect for a mic boom so it is only where you want it to be when you want it. Even though I am using it with the Rode mic, it can accommodate other mics with 1/4, 38, and 5/8 threads.

I'm not a streamer or content creator, but I'm a longtime World of Warcraft player. My guild raids three nights per week, using Discord for comms. For years, I've used headsets which, in my experience, are bulky, hot and uncomfortable for extended use. I picked up the Elgato low profile boom arm for use with a Shure SM57 I had lying around, and it's been fantastic. I previously had a more typical mic boom arm/desk mount in which the articulated arm arches upward, and it was so in-your-face and disruptive of sightlines, that I quickly gave up on it and went back to the headset. Then I learned about low profile boom arms. To be honest, the only reason I picked the Elgato was because it had same-day delivery available through Amazon. But I'm glad I did. It's sturdy (not that an SM57 is a particularly heavy load, but even pushing down on the arm, you can tell it's solidly built with hardly any flex), it's easy to adjust, it doesn't block sightline to the monitor and it's easy to push the mic completely out of the way when not in use. It clamps easily to the desk edge. If there's one negative, it's that it doesn't include a mounting plate for mid-desktop surface installation (if you have or are willing to put a hole in the top of your desk like I am). Fortunately, Elgato does sell such a mounting plate, which I will eventually grab, but... it would have been nice if they'd included it, rather than making it an upsell. Probably a non-issue for most people, but at least they have a solution for those who want it. I've started using it for Zoom meetings for work, as well, and it's nice to have something that doesn't block visibility or your face and still be able to use a much better mic than what you'd find on a headset. I also considered a low profile Shure mount by Gator, which includes the aforementioned mounting plate and a threaded extension adapter and is probably a slightly better deal, but as I mentioned... the Elgato got here faster, so it won. In the end, it works perfectly and I have no regrets.

The Elgato Wave Mic Arm LP is great quality overall, especially at the price of $70-75 USD. The parts are (mostly) metal, the magnets of the cable covers are strong although the covers may excessively bend the cable, the tension system does the job, and the ratchet of the clamp has good ergonomics. Plus, the screw is versatile with camera support and a large customizable range of motion. The main flaw is that the clamp might not be able to support heavier microphones to the best of its ability. My microphone is from Shure and weighs around 500-600 grams according to their manual, a bit lighter than the industry standard SM7B at 760 grams. The boom arm drops a bit when setting the height of the second, so you have to account for that by raising it higher. The larger issue is that the clamp may slip gradually if you have the arm outward away from the table. My clamp's padding has been ripped on top and displaced on the bottom because of the gradual movement due to the microphone's weight. Again, the boom arm is satisfactory, but it's not the cleanest experience and would like to see the clamp avoid ripping and moving the padding due to the microphone's weight. I recommend this boom arm, overall.

Bought this mic arm to clean up my desk. Switched from a traditional mic stand to this, and it's so much better! I have the mic arm clamped to the side of my desk. It stretches across the bottom of my second monitor so the mic sits below my camera when not in use. Then, when I need it, I can just pull it toward me, tip the mic up toward my face, and I'm ready to go. It's well made, and heavier than I expected, which is good. Attaching the mic and threading the mic cord through the arm was also easy. The top side of the arm pieces are magnetic, so you just take them off, stick the cord inside, and pop them back on — and the magnets are really strong. Overall the look is very clean. I did add one black zip tie at the top to keep the cord from ticking out. Over time, I have found that even though I tighten the arm to hold the position, it slowly starts to sag and I have to re-adjust and tighten it all again. But that's maybe once or twice a month.

Previously I used this scissor arm: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CN2C93T, and this one blows it out of the water in every way. Range of motion: The old one wasn't straight like this one is, so the range of upward motion was limited before the arm would hit the monitor, now the mic avoids the monitor and can be placed exactly where it should be. Cable management: I had my cabled strapped down onto my old arm, and I never realized how messy it looked until I threaded the cables through this one, it looks so much tidier now! Getting the mic where it matters: I have a directional mic, it has to be close and right in front of my face. With my old arm I had to compromise to get it into place. I had it low (almost hitting the keyboard) and several inches from my face. Moving it out of the way was a bit of a hassle too so I just left it there. With this new arm, The mic can lean right towards me, completely out of the way of my keyboard, and moving it is as easy as just pushing it out of the way, no worries about it hitting a monitor or anything. Sturdiness/Support: The old arm had all the weight placed on a small metal bar that slotted into its clamp. Eventually this bar would bend under the pressure and it would cause the arm to sag. The scissor arm also tends to make noise and jiggle when my desk is disturbed. This new arm has a much sturdier way of slotting into its clamp. It's much harder to disturb it, and jiggling my desk will cause my monitor to move moreso than this arm. All in all, they nailed it when it comes to a design that works around monitors. You don't have to sacrifice typing space because a bulky arm is hanging over your keyboard. You don't have to block a portion of your screen. You can move the arm smoothly out of the way when you don't need it. The clamp is nice and wide so it should fit on most desks. Between the ball joint and angling the arm, you can accommodate a wide range of configurations. Super easy to set up, it looks great and even comes with adapters to fit your mic mount. Love this product and would recommend it to anyone.

wow this has to be the best microphone stand I've ever used. top and bottom wire access holes and magnetic access to insides made wires disappear. Strong enough for my microphone and smoothly rotates out of the way. Might not work if you need top/down microphone placement, but for my bottom up setup this was perfect.
