Maono BA92 Microphone Arm Review - Best Low Profile Mic Arm

SEE PINNED COMMENT FOR LINKS #maono BA92 low profile microphone boom arm review. If you're in the market for a microphone boom arm that's got all the bells and whistles of the big brands, but at a cheaper price, check out the Maono BA92.

This microphone boom arm gives you plenty of articulation options allowing you to swivel both arms 360 degrees and position the ball head and lock it in place. This may be the best Elgato Wave Mic Arm LP alternative. At just $79.99 USD the BA92 is an excellent value.

The Maono BA92 extends approximately 28". Having that much reach is perfect for a wide desk like the one I use (24" wide). The BA92 can support microphones weighing 4.4 pounds (2kg)! The desk clamp can fit desks up to 2.2 inches thick.

What's the best microphone boom arm? That's up for debate. Although the Maono BA92 deserves to be added to the conversation. I will use the microphone boom arm for the next several months and report back with how it's going including any issues.

It's a great time to be a podcaster! Equipment is more affordable than ever before!

Nice overview, Hank, and I love that you used the King Bee II as a reference for its sturdiness. The obvious comparison would be to the Elgato low profile boom arm, which is what I use. Have you tried that? I’ve also noticed that Fifine has their own version of the Elgato boom, and it’s priced significantly lower.

Just remember that the weight supported isn't just the mic, but the shock mount, pop filter and any other attachments.

I just before christmas purchased the Rode PSA1+ which is a really great arm and strong. Im using the Maono PDX400 mic which is also quite heavy. At first i wasnt sure about a low profile arm and the Rode simply has a very good reputation but as im looking more into it im kinda thinking of returning the PSA1+ and replacing it with a low profile one. Just not sure if I want to go with the Maono or the Elgato Wave LP. Both arms seem to be pretty equal while the Maono is $20 cheaper. Only difference is the Elgato is a 1 piece design vs the Maono a 2 piece design. So im not sure how much of a difference that makes. I know way more folks have the Elgato. I hate making decisions😂

I've got an aging PSA-1 I may replace soon. This could be a contender.
