I’ve said this everywhere so far; Elgato got so tired of people asking what mic arm was being used in promotional images and decided to just make one themselves.
A friend of mine just linked me this, and I instantly pulled the trigger. My friend immediately recognized this as a Go-to product. Running a 45" ultrawide on a Secret Labs Magnus makes mic mounting a HUGE pain. I feel smarter now :) Thank you.
Thanks for the video! I was having a rough time figuring out how to make the LP work with my Shure SM7B smoothly, but having the visual demos of it up and running in this video helped a lot.
This, 100%. I was considering getting the OC White Proboom Ultima, but Elgato comes and drops the mic with this. I already purchased Wave Arm LP, and can't wait.
My Wave Mic Arm LP arrived today, I'm super impressed. A second hole on the underside of the arm to connect the XLR cable to the microphone (the XLR connector on my microphone is under the arm) would have been nice to route the cable more neatly. But otherwise a very nice arm. Cleans up the setup extremely.
yeah they are currently backordered. i placed my order on the 16th of July and after two weeks of waiting , mine finally shipped yesterday, but the website is still out of stock because the ones being made are for those who have intially ordered the product, but yeah its a good arm
I bought an arm basically just like this a year ago, and there is one thing I'd ask you to consider. If you could make a height extension pole accessory to raise the height of the base of the arm which allows clearance, and also allows you to position the arm pretty much horizontally to your mouth. I wanted an arm style exactly like this but they were low profile so I went out of my way to find an arm of this design where the entire arm was higher off the table. I specifically didn't want the other style of arm. I was looking more in depth at both arms and noticed you have a detachable riser for your other mic arm, this looks compatible for the low profile arm but might not be. If you made the detachable riser compatible for both arms then this would be amazing. You don't seem sell the riser separately so to find out you'd have to buy both.
@@cyberneticwarmachine It's not an extension pole, its a metal riser bar that slots into the clamp on the table, then the mic arm slots into the riser bar. They already make them for the other mic arm. An extension pole wouldn't hold the torsion of a mic arm when you move it. It has to be rock solid
My funny on going story. I ordered this from Amazon and it had to be shipped from the UK, waited weeks and was given a delivery date for January 28th. The last scan was on the 21st of January, and they still can’t find it. Went to our local Best Buy and to my surprise they had one in stock. Now I’m debating if I want two or a refund, that is if they can actually find it 😊
I just ordered mine yesterday and this sh*t is comin' straight from Taiwan!!! I imagine it's gonna take a month or so. Stock your sh*t in the United States yo!!!!
I had to come back and say my Elgato arm came in today and although it does get my arm mostly below my shot I do not recommend it as it has no up and down pivot without adjusting the plastic thumb screw that barely tightens enough after straining to secure it. Also because this piece is plastic I can see it breaking with much use. Elgato failed with the LP. We need an up and down movement to be free with some type of tensioning like on a monitor arm. PLEASE UPDATE this product.
I litterly ordered the O.C. White Ultima Gen2 LP from B&H in the US for $505 (€427). Luckly a mate pointed towards the release of this mic arm. Ordered it right away and canceled the Ultima 👍🏻 Thx Elgato for saving me €327!
Yep just brought that same mic arm so I have mixed feelings. On one hand I wish I could have saved that money but the reason I got the OC in the 1st place over the Vivio was the build quality of the OC and the ability for customization. At the end of the day I'm shoot happy with my OC White and I'm not looking back. With that being said if I need a second arm this Elgato LP is the way ill probably will go
@@BryceCherrytree thanks for replying. One reviewer said the magnetic plates hiding the cables pop off easily when moving the arm around as the XLR cable flexes and pops them out. Have you found that to be the case?!
@@137dylan I got the Wave:3 and not XLRs, so I can't judge on that part, but for the Wave:3s I have had no issues with cabling or the magnetic plates what so ever.
This looks amazing but the clamp it too small for my desk. For my master mount system I just got the heavy base. Can you guys make a clamp that’s a hair bit bigger than 3 inches? Or is this compatible with a heavy base system??
From my understanding, the heavy base is made for multi mount and flex arms, the amount of weight you can place on the end depends on how far out the extensions of the arms are as well as the total weight on the end of the arm, as far as I know, the mic arm cannot be attached to the multi mount system and most certainly would be too heavy for the 10 lb weighted base, how thick is your desk? Hope this helps.
Yep that's what brought me here! And the OC White is mostly plastic (this one's metal), and doesn't include the desk clamp (this one does). No brainer!
For years now, I've had to lower my monitors so that my mic arm could come over them. Seriously, why did nobody ever make an arm like this before? LOL Time to buy more gear...
I have a VIVO arm like this but I will definitely be switching to the LP. My only concern is the ball clamp head, I have issues with the Master Mount and extensions using the ball clamps really needing to be hulked tight in order to support the weight of each piece plus whatever gear is mounted on them. Even my Keylight Air's can cause them to droop if I don't absolutely tighten the bejeezus out of them... Which makes me not have faith that after a handful of adjustments of my SM7B that the LP's ball head would continue to work....
Now is the time when I wish I could post pictures for comments. I literally fabricated this exact arm from a spare monitor stand arm, but the catch is I was able to attach it to the current monitor stand pole. I actually posted a video on it back in Feb, it now has the Elgato Wave 3 on it instead of the AT2005USB. But depending on the price of this I might have to pick it up because I'm thinking about a different monitor setup.
It’s interesting in the thumbnail the monitor looks pretty high up since it appears to clear both pieces of the mic arm but the tallest factory stands available don’t usually crack more than 5 inches off the surface of the desk. I’m confused as it’s supposed to be somewhat low profile
@@prophet6722 I purchased the arm and using it to go under the monitor on a deep desk doesn’t work well. The mount the arm goes in is higher then needed and higher than needed.
Is the low volume on this a bug? The arm looks very nice! I have the Blue Compass, which I love, but this seems like a great alternative if you don't want it high up like normal arms. The cable routing seems excellent. I will definitely check this one out.
I got mine today and I have a wave 3 with a shock mount and pop filter and even though that's still lighter than the limit it seems to just weigh it down too much, and I dont want to sacrifice either :C
Waiting for a version 2 of this. This model has a big flaw, the magnetic top cover keep popping off, I had to use a tap and a cable tie to prevent it from popping off. They should have a better implementation. I don't think magnet is a good idea even if they made it stronger. The cable channel should be from the bottom so it will look neater than from the top.
Looking at your comments did you get a black one and then a white one and they’re fundamentally the same, apart from stronger magnets on the white? Have you thought about putting something like a small piece of rubber inside the ball socket so it grips a bit better?
$99 is actually such a disgustingly cheap price. I almost wish it had been more expensive so it didn't sell out so fast, ElGato / Corsair unfortunately don't have the best track record with restocking things :( I'm so happy this exists, I can't stand how a mic arm looks and maybe I won't even like how this looks although it looks very promising in the promo material.
Hello @ Elgato! I've been looking into getting a Mic+Arm, and I've found your product - The Wave Mic Arm LP. I can see on your website that the Wave Mic Arm LP has a reach of 740mm(74cm) horizontal. My question is this: My desk has 900mm(90cm) depth - and the arm is gonna be placed behind the monitors and towards me, I'm gonna pair it with the Shure MV7-K. Is the horizontal reach of 740mm arm (74cm) enough for my 900mm(90cm) desk? Will the Shure MV7-K be close enough to me?
Why is this arm hardly anywhere available beginning of 2022? Is it already retired? Were there only a few of them made? Is elgato prepping a new one or whats going on, besides Chinas factories being overwhelmed. I hope to see it back soon
El gato! Pls reply. I really want u guys to work on a low profile boom arm BUT. That it’s a full 360°, like the first Joint. I know it goes sideways but not up & down. If u guys made one of these . I would buy it,
3:11 Yeah but with other mic arms, you can screw it even if you screw it close to a drawer, not yours. Had so much trouble to screw my Key Light bc your screwing system sucks.
I would love to use it but I just bought a new mic arm like two weeks ago and feel like I have to get at least a few months out of it before switching to something else
which mic arm do you have? I have the blue compass. I love it but for my desk setup it just doesn't fit how I like. I am considering making the switch.
I bought a mic arm two days ago but as soon as this came out, I immediately returned my other one, the other one was a much cheaper build and quality construction, I returned mine unopened and in original packaging. The wave arm LP willl be a bestseller on Elgato’s website.
I literally just got back from Best Buy with a Compass boom arm, but now want to return it for the Wave. Unfortunately, it's "Out of Stock". Any idea when it will be available again? I can't seem to even do a pre-order on the website.
We currently don’t have an ETA, but we’re working on getting more in stock as soon as possible. Be sure to opt-in on Corsair’s website to be notified once it’s back in stock! corsair.com/Categories/Products/Elgato-Gaming/Audio/Wave-Mic-Arm/p/10AAN9901
Mic Arm LP can be connect to Heavy Base, however please keep in mind that if too much weight is added to Wave Mic Arm LP and it is mounted on a Heavy Base, and it can tip over.
How did i get here? New headphones, no mic on them Buys new blue yeti x mic New mic covers mosr of my screen I need a mic arm Is it worth it when im just using this to talk woth frineds?
Hey elgato I need to know where is the best placement for this low profile mic arm in the back of the desk or in the front left or right side cause I have this mic arm
I'd buy this so fast if it wasn't too short. I don't like baby desks. Anything under 6' wide is too small. 29" is too short to be used on a 6-foot wide desk. Many people cant come from the back of their desk like you show. The side is almost always open. Also...I have to use a hex key to tighten a joint? I mean..a 13 cent knob couldn't be placed there? it's close..but...just close..
Hey ppl. Can someone share the maximum height from the desk that this mic arm can reach. I would like to occasionally use it standing up and want to make sure that the mic will get high enough with this arm....
