    • 3.5 Stars - Good but smallish, needs weight, no 3/8-1/4 adapter, loose shaft, limited swing.
Style: Desktop Stands
After perusing countless reviews, I settled on the PSA1 boom arm for the SM7b mic that's on its merry way to me. All the booms I researched in the $100-180 range each had several problems. Overall, most reviewers found the PSA1 to be among the simplest, quietest, and cheapest, so I added it to my studio mic kit order. Don't let my detailed enumeration of several issues dissuade you from this product until you have judged all the issues presented here in the light of your own scenario. === OOBE (Out of box experience): The box is a typical keyboard-sized cardboard box within a slicker thin cardboard slip sleeve printed with the usual blurbs. It contained only 4 items: (1) fully assembled boom, (2) C-clamp style desk mount, (3) alternative bushing mount for a drilled hole in a desk, and (4) a small, odd-looking female-male mic thread size expander (not the expected reducer). Removing the goods was a little tricky but not rocket science. There are no markings or instructions as to how to open the inner cardboard box or how to remove the inserts so you just start pulling it apart. It was easy but needlessly confusing. Put some arrows on it or add some "Pull Here" or "Open Here" labels. Ends up dropping the desk hole base and thread adapter since the way I guessed to open it let those items fall out. === Set Up This was dead easy and very fast - only 2 minutes. You just clamp the desk mount to the edge of a table's top surface that can be up to several inches thick. Twist the screw till tight and drop in the boom's shaft. Done! The C-clamp obviously cannot work desks that have a solid side that rises right up to the top surface without any "under area" to clamp to. For those, you might try the back or front top surface edges that may have clearance under them. Otherwise, you could drill a hole in the desk and use the included desk hole mount. Another alternative is to get a small square of hardwood and screw it onto the top side edge of the desk so that half of it is on the desk and the other half hangs outwards in free space. You could then clamp the base to that or drill a hole in it for the desk hole clamp. You need only install the clamp on a desk's edge surface, if you have one that sticks out like most then drop the boom's male shaft into the female mount's hole. Done. Well, almost, untill I tried to mount my LS-11 with 1/4-20 thread. === Limited Swing: It also suffers the same back swing issue as do some of its competitors. That is, the lower boom leg, from the base to the elbow, only swings backward from vertical a scant 20 degrees. It doesn't go back further because the two arms that comprise the leg are already pressed together at that point. Rode would need only increase the size of the elbow joints and add more space between the arms of each leg. That would allow significantly more back movement. The limited back swing also means you CANNOT place the base of the arm near you, e.g., on the edge of a desk to your left. That is because, to clear the mic from your face, you would have to either lift the mic arm way high or to rotate the whole shebang to the side. What most would want is to simply push the arms directly backwards away from you. So, it's not a showstopper – just another disappointment. It’s a problem you just have to live with unless you go for one of the more monstrous arms you see in studios – and at studio prices! === Unexpectedly Smallish: This is NOT a studio arm with lots of movement options. It is a simple but stable swing arm about the size of the arms you may have seen as part of the Luxo lamp line used for art, hobbies or precision work. I'd say it is “just” large enough for a hefty mic like the SM7b. The size of the PSA1, much like the Heil boom, is more like the base of a swing lamp where each arm of the boom is only 18-20 inches. While waiting for the SM7b, I planned to use the arm with my Olympus LS-11 hand held audio recorder which compares well to $300-$500 condenser mics and is an excellent USB mic - apart from the expected terrible live-monitor latency which is normal for any unit without a specialized USB driver. === Poorly described "3/8 adapter": In today's world with ever shrinking component sizes, if you see a smallish boom with a 3/8 thread size and the box says it includes a “3/8 adapter”, I'd wager a good many non-pro users would assume that to be a 3/8 to 1/4 adapter and not the 3/8 to 5/8 adapter that it is. As a pro, I still did a quick head scratch since several of my current recording devices now have 1/4-20 threads. I grant that 5/8 is the standard size of mic stand threads and the mics that screw onto them, but Rode should include a 3/8-1/4 reducing adapter, as well, for use with the ever-increasing number of devices that have 1/4-20 threads such as cameras, recorders, small mics, go pros, web cams, and smartphones. Hey, Rode, why not just make a really GREAT unit by adding a small cheap ball head with 1/4, 3/8, and 5/8 threads. Voila, you’ll have a hands-down winner. === Spring-Balance Issue: A significant problem occurred while I tested the arm with my smaller mics, like the Olympus LS-11 handheld USB recorder and on-location mic. This arm barely works for them. The problem is that the elbow units are spring-loaded to counteract the weight of larger mics. With small mics or no mics at all, the arm swings upwards on its own when the mic arm is less than about 30 degrees downward from horizontal. Without adding weights, the arm has to be pulled down to about -40 degrees below horizontal where the elbow spring increases their torques and the arm refrains from rising on its own. You should plan on needing at least 1-2 pounds of weight on the end of the arm to keep it from swinging upwards on its own. Without the weight and when the mic arm is anywhere above -30 degrees horizontal, it swings upwards to about 10-20 degrees above horizontal. In such low weight cases, you’ll have to pull the mic arm down to about -30 to -40 degrees from horizontal before the knee joints decide to hold the arm there. That effectively disallows movement from -30 to +10 of horizontal. To be fair, this is a low cost boom and the matter is moot with pro mics that typically weigh 1-4 pounds. === Loose desk mount shaft hole: The C-clamp desk mount hole that receives the boom’s mounting shaft seems rather large for the size of the shaft so it loose. However, as others have noted, since the arm is almost always swung out to the side to some degree, the cantilevered weight pulls the shaft sideways making the mounting feel solid. Another potential issue with a loose mounting pivot shaft is that if the desk mount is not absolutely level, the entire boom could rotate in the direction of the tilted mount. This is not a common case and should not occur for most people when mounting to a level desk surface. === Bottom Line: I gave the PSA1 3.5 stars because, despite its flaws, it is low cost, very easy to install, is relatively quiet, and most mics above $100 weigh at least a pond or two so it just works. Of the other booms I’ve seen reviewed, they seem to have their own issues such as the Heil’s less mounting sturdy base. I recommend this arm if you understand all of the issues I presented and you have deemed them to be of little consequence for your needs. ... show more

Por su precio que no lo veo caro, si tienes un micrófono liviano creo que deberias ahorrarte dinero comprando otro, si tienes mas o menos un rode popmic vale la pena su compra.
