Elgato Wave Mic Arm Low Profile Microphone Boom Arm

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.

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.

I use this arm for voiceovers/streaming, and it’s been a nice upgrade from my old boom arm. The low-profile style keeps everything below eye level, so my camera shot looks cleaner and my screen isn’t blocked. It supports my mic well, doesn’t drift during use, and the clamp grips my desk securely. Installation took me around 10 minutes. Build quality feels good—not premium-premium, but definitely reliable for everyday use. If you’re trying to improve desk space and keep your setup looking neat, this is a good pick.

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!

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.

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.

Arm works well and is easy to rotate out of the way quickly when not on a call. Magnet covers are strong

needed for every streamer! amazing build quality! wont see it on camera! very sleek.

L'Elgato Wave Mic Arm (Low Profile) è semplicemente il miglior braccio snodabile per microfono che abbia mai provato! Il design a profilo basso è geniale: consente di mantenere la scrivania pulita ed evita di ostruire la vista, perfetto per streamer, podcaster o chiunque lavori con un setup minimalista. La qualità costruttiva è eccellente, con materiali robusti e una finitura impeccabile. I movimenti sono fluidi e silenziosi, e le regolazioni sono estremamente semplici grazie ai giunti resistenti ma flessibili. Anche il sistema di gestione dei cavi integrato è una vera chicca, mantenendo tutto ordinato e senza grovigli. Inoltre, il braccio supporta una vasta gamma di microfoni senza problemi di peso o compatibilità. È un prodotto premium, ma vale ogni euro speso per chi cerca praticità, estetica e durata nel tempo. Elgato ha fatto centro! 🎙️💯

Works fine with Shure MV6

This is one of the most hidden finds ever. It's the OP low profile arms and it should be used for most of the situations. Anyone wants my old overhead mic arm?

Clean finish and amazing quality. Love the fact that it has amazing wire management built in it.
