As a former radio on-air DJ, I have an appreciation for a well-built microphone boom arm. A humble piece of studio equipment that is nonetheless essential for a lot of reasons. I work in my home studio now as a YouTuber and music producer, and I found this Warm Audio boom to be an excellent value. It's sturdy - it stays where I put it, it doesn't slip out of place, it stays mounted to my desk with only an occasional tightness check. The arm has a trough for the mic cable to tuck into, as well as clips to hold the cable in place. A lot of thought went into this design and I'm so impressed how well it's held up and become an integral part of my day to day productions. I love being able to swing the boom arm out of the way when it's not in use, or to swivel it front of me for voice over applications. Being able to angle the mic itself has given me a position to quickly stand in front of my dynamic mic with an acoustic guitar capitalizing on the mic's ability to isolate a source from the room background for a high quality recording. In summary, you can't beat this boom arm for quality and value.
