FAQs
What is the maximum weight the STEVE microphone arm can support?
The 3 Legged Thing STEVE Microphone Arm is designed to support microphones weighing up to 2kg.
Does the STEVE arm come with adapters for different microphones?
Yes, it includes adapters for both 3/8” and 5/8” thread sizes, which are common for most microphones.
Can I use this arm with a condenser microphone?
Yes, as long as the condenser microphone does not exceed the 2kg weight limit and has a standard 3/8” or 5/8” thread.
How does the cable management work?
The arm features integrated clips or channels along its length where you can route your microphone cable, keeping it tidy and out of the way.
What are the mounting options for the STEVE arm?
The STEVE arm can be mounted securely using either a desk clamp or a grommet mount, providing flexibility for different desk setups.
Is the extension column permanent?
No, the extension column is removable, allowing for different height configurations depending on your needs.
What is the benefit of the 360° rotation?
The 360° rotation allows you to easily swing the microphone into position, adjust its angle precisely, or move it out of the way when not in use, offering maximum flexibility.
Troubleshooting
Microphone arm feels unstable
Ensure the desk clamp or grommet mount is tightened securely. Verify that the microphone's weight does not exceed the 2kg limit. Adjust the tension on the arm's joints if they feel loose.
Cable management clips are difficult to use
Gently slide the cables into the clips. If resistance is met, ensure the cable is not snagged on anything and try a slightly different angle. Avoid forcing the cables.
Arm doesn't stay in desired position
Check the tension knobs on the arm joints and tighten them as needed to hold the microphone in place. If the arm is overloaded, it may require more tension.
Adapter doesn't fit microphone thread
Confirm the thread size of your microphone. The STEVE arm includes both 3/8” and 5/8” adapters; ensure you are using the correct one. If neither fits, an additional adapter may be required from the microphone manufacturer.
