FAQs
Does this boom arm come with a microphone?
No, the PBA-2 is a microphone boom arm mount; the microphone must be purchased separately.
Can I use this with any microphone?
It is compatible with most standard microphones, provided they have a compatible thread size or use the included adapter.
How do I route my cables?
The arm includes integrated channels along the underside where you can press your cables to keep them tidy and hidden.
What is the maximum weight it can support?
The PBA-2 is designed for both light and heavy microphones, with adjustable tension to accommodate various models.
Does it include the mounting adapter?
Yes, a 5/8-inch male to 3/8-inch female adapter is included in the box.
Troubleshooting
The arm drifts or sinks after placing the microphone
Use the adjustment screws at the tension points to increase the resistance until the arm holds the weight of your specific microphone.
The base clamp feels unstable or wobbles
Ensure the clamping surface is flat and the clamp is tightened fully. If the desk edge is too small, consider using a wooden block spacer to provide a more secure surface for the clamp.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely flexible articulation for perfect mic positioning
- Sturdy construction supports a wide range of microphone weights
- Clean aesthetic with built-in cable management
- Compatible with almost all industry-standard mic mounts
Cons
- Requires a desk edge with enough depth for the clamp

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, attach the base clamp to a sturdy flat surface edge and tighten securely. Insert the boom arm into the base. Use the included 3/8-inch adapter if your shock mount does not natively fit the 5/8-inch stud. For care, keep the tension knobs clean of dust and debris. If the arm feels too loose or too stiff, simply adjust the tension screws located at the articulation points using the provided tools. Wipe the matte black finish with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to maintain its appearance.
