Broadcast microphone stand RØDE PSA-1+ desk-mounted arm, white, includes 3/8"–5/8" adaptor

The RØDE PSA-1+ desk-mounted boom arm in white is a broadcast-style microphone stand designed for podcasters, streamers and broadcasters. It features a parallelogram spring system and fully damped internal springs for smooth, silent movement, plus integrated cable management and a 360-degree rotation range. The arm supports a wide range of microphones and includes both a padded desk clamp and a threaded desk mount for secure attachment to most desks.

Advantages

The PSA-1+ combines stable mounting with near-silent operation thanks to fully damped springs and rubber contact points that isolate keyboard and desk noise. Its parallelogram spring design keeps microphone placement consistent while allowing easy height adjustments, and the integrated cable management keeps USB and XLR cables neatly routed. Extended reach, precise adjustment points and included mounting options make it simple to position and secure a microphone for streaming, podcasting or broadcasting.

Suitable for

• Home and professional podcasting
• Live streaming and content creation
• Broadcast and voiceover work
• Desktop recording setups using dynamic or condenser microphones

When it may not be suitable

The PSA-1+ is designed for desk mounting and may not be suitable if you need a floor stand or permanently mounted studio boom. Although it supports many microphones, extremely heavy or unusually shaped microphones outside the supported weight range and standard thread sizes may require alternative mounting solutions.

How to use

Attach the padded clamp or the threaded desk mount to a stable desk surface, secure the boom arm and fit the included thread adaptor if required. Mount your microphone or shockmount to the arm using the standard thread, route the USB or XLR cable through the integrated cable channels and adjust the arm angle, rotation and height using the locking nuts and spring mechanism until the microphone sits in the desired position. Make fine adjustments to balance and angle to avoid drift during use.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify your microphone weight and thread type to ensure compatibility with the arm
• Confirm desk thickness and clamp suitability for your workspace
• Decide if a desk-mounted boom arm fits your studio layout versus a floor or ceiling mount

Usage recommendations

For quiet, professional recordings, route cables fully inside the integrated management channels and check that locking nuts are snug after positioning; balance heavier microphones by adjusting the spring tension and use the padded clamp on solid desk surfaces to minimize vibration transfer.
