Jinglemaster Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Search google for 'MIC ARM' and you will find 2 main ones. RODE and Beyerdynamic. I have the Beyerdynamic and it is for sale. Brand new spare one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjkoning Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 http://www.bswusa.com is the best source for items like that. Here is their selection of mic booms: http://www.bswusa.com/searchresult.asp?searchType=category&subcat=mics-booms I picked up the OC White brand one for around $100, and it works as expected. If you want perfect balance and no spring sounds, you'l lstart paying more, but since I don't move the mic when I'm on air, the cheap one works great for me.

nitnitr Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Heil makes one too, which I use. I got it from Musicians Friend. http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/product/Heil-Sound-PL2T-Overhead-Broadcast-Boom?sku=451040 I just noticed from the above post from kjkoning that BSW has it too. Regardless, It has served it's purpose for me, and I'm happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spot Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Those mic arms that people suggest in the previous posts, are great, beautiful, look very proffetional ... but they are a bit expensive for people who run a webradio as a hobby. What we did? We bought a desk lamp from IKEA (the one with the 2 metal arms and coils, that you can move around), it cost less than 7 euros. We took out the lamp, and screwd the mic there. PERFECT ! I have a foto somewhere, if I find it today I will post it later. For the 3 months that we are using it, it doesn't make noise when you move it, even when you are onair. Also, the mic we have screwd to it, is a AT2020 (condenser mic, I think around 450gr weight). Dimitris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spot Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I couldn't find the foto, so I took a frame from a video (my daughter is pretending that she is having a live show). It is not the best foto, but I am uploading it in order to show you at least half of the IKEA lamp, and also to show you that it is possible to do it, very easily - if I could attache the mic to the arm, anybody can do it, believe me.

Aeolus Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 i will use one also like that for my 2nd microphone. For the first one i have a nice Yellowtec M!ka, but that's a bit too expensive for using on a mic that will almost never be used :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurtisMachek Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I use the Q-Mic in the RadioKick Studio, and im in love. It broke once (used too much), but I was able to fix it with a misc. screw. The cable built in is a nice feature, and is great quality. http://q-mic.com/qm-50.html Marty's a great guy to deal with, and if you're an ebayer, he sells them there! http://shop.ebay.com/cdpeddler/m.html -Curtis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
