For quite a while, Elgato has been a go-to brand for content creators, offering products that are indispensable for everyday use and others that have demonstrated their worth over time. Ranging from Stream Deck to the Wave mic series, Elgato caters to a variety of needs, and as its reputation has grown, it’s been striving to meet more specialized requirements. The Elgato Wave Mic Arm Pro represents an ideal choice for many, arguably their finest mic arm available yet, but one designed with specific applications in mind.
The Elgato Wave Mic Arm Pro shares resemblance with the Mic Arm LP, as they both are designed to mount on flat surfaces like desks and tables, but the Elgato Mic Arm has a middle hinge that allows it to move up and down in an angled manner, while the Mic Arm Pro sports a straight arm connected to a hinged piece, which is beneficial for users who wish to place their microphone either under a monitor or pointing up at them from below.
Just like any Elgato item, the Mic Arm Pro boasts an exquisite, sleek metal construction. Setting it up is a breeze, needing only a small amount of effort to attach onto a table. Plus, it comes with practical features that keep your workspace tidy and uncluttered.
Elgato Mic Arm Pro Setup and Design
Installing the Elgato Wave Mic Arm Pro involves attaching a bracket to a suitable surface. Adjust the ratcheting arm (which is designed for tight areas) by relaxing its grip to match your desk or table thickness, and then tighten it firmly for a stable position.
For a discreet microphone stand, there’s approximately 2 inches of space beneath the arm. However, Elgato provides an additional riser to increase this clearance to around 4 inches, which is helpful for those who might need the mic arm to extend over desk items such as a gaming keyboard or speaker.
The connecting arm (suspension arm) links with the main arm (base arm) and has the ability to rotate separately. It can tilt to rest flat on top of the main arm, extending straight out or tilting up to position itself in front of a seated user. However, it won’t go fully vertical; it can come close though. If you don’t need to extend the arm as far from where the Mic Arm Pro is fixed, you can fold it back towards itself. When fully extended, the Elgato Mic Arm Pro reaches approximately 29 inches.
As a discerning movie critic, I’ve had the pleasure of testing the Elgato Wave Mic Arm Pro, a versatile microphone stand that caters to a variety of popular models in the market. With its threaded attachment and an array of adapters, you can effortlessly mount any Elgato Wave Mic, or even opt for a Shure MV6 or SM7B. For those concerned with cable organization, this sturdy stand comes equipped with a channel along the underside of both the suspension arm and base, complete with magnetic covers to discreetly hide USB or XLR cables from view.
In essence, the ideal Elgato mic arm choice depends on your specific desk setup. However, for those who wish to position the mic arm outside a webcam’s field of view and route it beneath a monitor, I highly recommend the Mic Arm Pro. It complements Corsair’s Platform:6 desk particularly well, maintaining the sleek, premium aesthetic of my workspace.
The build quality of the Mic Arm Pro is exceptional, boasting a sleek brushed metal design and adjustable tension on its suspension arm. While the Elgato Wave Mic Arm served me well for years, I find myself drawn to the slimmer model due to its ease in swiveling out of sight. Additionally, the Elgato Wave Mic Arm Pro allows for personalization with magnetic hinge covers, adding a pop of color to the otherwise monochromatic arms.
Elgato is known for creating high-end technology with a lot of bells and whistles, but the Elgato Wave Mic Arm Pro stands out as something simple yet effective, performing exceptionally well and adding a touch of elegance to any environment. This device makes an excellent addition to any microphone setup and is definitely a worthwhile investment.
The Elgato Mic Arm Pro is available now for $179.99. Game Rant was provided a unit for this review.
