Definition

A boom mic arm (also called a microphone arm or desk arm) is an adjustable, spring-loaded arm that mounts to a desk or surface and positions a microphone at the optimal recording position. It keeps the microphone off the desk to reduce vibration noise and allows flexible positioning without a traditional mic stand. Boom arms are standard equipment for podcasters, streamers, and video creators.
