Operating Instructions
Adjusting the Boom Arm
The BOMGE Boom Arm Mic Stand is designed for flexible positioning to optimize your microphone placement for various activities such as podcasting, gaming, or streaming.
- 360° Rotation: The arm can rotate 360 degrees at its base, allowing you to swing the microphone into position or out of the way as needed.
- Multi-Angle Adjustment: The arm features multiple joints that allow for flexible adjustment of height and reach. The joints are tension-adjustable to hold your microphone securely in any desired position.
- Vertical Reach: The arm provides a vertical reach of up to 800 mm (31.5 inches), suitable for extending over most monitors.
- Tension Adjustment: For heavier microphones (up to 3.5 lbs / 1.6 kg), the internal spring system can be adjusted to increase tension, ensuring the arm remains stable and prevents accidental drops.
