The Elgato Wave Mic Arm Pro brings professional-grade suspension technology to your desk. Its gas spring mechanism allows ultra-smooth, silent adjustments without any screws or knobs. With a low-profile, foldaway design, it keeps your workspace clear and your view unobstructed. The arm supports microphones up to 3 kg (6.6 lbs), including popular models from Sennheiser, Audio-Technica, HyperX, Rode, Shure, Neumann, and more. Hidden cable channels with strong magnetic covers keep wires out of sight, and the padded clamp fits desks up to 60 mm (2.4") thick. All-metal construction ensures durability and longevity.
Elgato Wave Mic Arm Pro: Setup and Compatibility
The Wave Mic Arm Pro mounts to your desk with a robust clamp that spreads weight evenly. It's compatible with most microphones that use a standard 3/8" or 5/8" thread adapter. The included mounting adapter covers both sizes. For optimal stability, ensure the clamp is tightened on a flat surface. The arm's low-profile design means you can push it aside when not in use, and swing it back when you go live.
How to Adjust Tension on the Wave Mic Arm Pro
The Wave Mic Arm Pro features an adjustable gas spring system. If your arm sags or rises unexpectedly, you can adjust the tension. Locate the hex key inside the head of the arm (or included) and tighten or loosen the tension screw near the gas spring. Turning the screw clockwise increases tension, counterclockwise decreases it. The goal is to achieve a balanced position where the arm stays where you set it without drifting. If it's too stiff, loosen slightly; if it sags, tighten. After adjustment, test the movement to ensure smooth, silent operation.
Troubleshooting: Wave Mic Arm Pro Sagging or Tension Issues
If your arm won't hold position, first check that the clamp is secure and the arm is not overloaded. Reduce the weight or remove accessories. Then, adjust the tension as described above. If the arm still drifts, the gas spring may need replacement—contact Elgato support. For silent operation, ensure all moving parts are clean and free from obstruction.
