Alternatives to the SUNMON Microphone Boom Arm

Products ranked near it in our research, each better for a slightly different buyer.

Buying advice: microphone accessories

  1. Check the arm's weight range against your mic. Heavy broadcast mics need sturdier springs or the arm will droop.
  2. Shock mounts isolate the mic from desk vibrations. Make sure the mount fits your mic's body diameter.
  3. Mesh pop filters sit in front of the mic. Foam windscreens are more discreet and suit on-camera setups.
  4. Good XLR cables with solid connectors prevent crackling. Keep runs short and away from power cables.
  5. Most mics use 5/8 inch threads; some stands use 3/8 inch. A small adapter solves mismatches.

What is phantom power and do I need it?

Phantom power (48V) provides electrical power to condenser microphones through the XLR cable. Condenser microphones require it to operate, without phantom power, they produce no signal or a very weak signal. Dynamic microphones do not require phantom power and are not damaged by it (when properly designed). Enable 48V phantom power on your audio interface when using a condenser microphone.

How far should a condenser microphone be from my mouth?

6-8 inches is the standard positioning for voice recording. Closer produces a warmer, more bass-heavy sound with more room noise rejection. Further away produces a thinner sound with more room ambience in the recording. Some broadcast-style microphones (Shure SM7B) are designed for very close positioning (2-4 inches), check your microphone's datasheet for the optimal working distance.
