The DB-100 Desktop Microphone Boom Arm is a versatile mic boom that uses springs to provide support and ideal positioning for microphones up to 2.3 lb/ 1.0 kg. The desk clamp allows the DB-100 to easily attach to most desks and studio furniture. Additionally, the boom arm can rotate a full 360 degrees. Best of all, it makes for an efficient and clutter-free creative space.

-
Insert the boom arm into the clamp and hand-tighten the boom arm safety knob
