FAQs

What is the maximum weight the PSA1 can support?

The PSA1 is designed to support most microphones weighing between 700g and 1.1kg (1.5lb and 2.4lb) when combined with a shock mount.

Does the PSA1 come with a shock mount?

No, the PSA1 does not include a shock mount. The PSM1 shock mount is sold separately.

What is the reach of the PSA1?

The PSA1 offers an 820mm horizontal reach and an 840mm vertical reach.

Can I use the PSA1 with any microphone?

The PSA1 is compatible with most microphones within the specified weight range. It is ideally suited for RØDE Procaster and Podcaster microphones.

How do I adjust the spring tension?

Use the adjustment screw located on the arm to adjust the spring tension. This helps to balance the weight of your microphone.

How do I clean the PSA1?

Wipe the arm with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents.

What if the clamp doesn't fit my desk?

The PSA1 comes with both a desk clamp and a desk insert. If neither fits, you may need to consider an alternative mounting solution. Check that your desk is within the supported range (up to 55mm for clamp, 70mm for insert).

Troubleshooting

Microphone sags or doesn't stay in position.

Adjust the spring tension using the adjustment screw on the arm. Ensure your microphone (with a shock mount if used) is within the recommended weight range.

Arm makes noise during movement.

Ensure the springs are properly damped. Check for any loose parts and tighten them. Verify the neoprene cover is in place and not damaged.

Mounting clamp doesn't fit my desk.

Check the thickness of your desk to ensure it is within the supported range (up to 55mm for clamp, 70mm for insert). Consider an alternative mounting solution if necessary.

Cables are tangled or messy.

Use the included velcro cable wraps to neatly manage and secure your microphone cable along the arm.
