The PSA1+features a modern design with completely silent operation and good stability. It features an innovative parallelogram spring design that RØDE claims have been precision-engineered to ensure movement is smooth and steady, even when using very light or heavy microphones.
The internal springs are fully damped and the arm features a neoprene cover for further reduction of noise generated by movement. The PSA1+ is also equipped with rubber contact points for isolation from knocks, bumps and keyboard clicks. If you are a streamer who is using a mechanical keyboard with loud switches, then this is welcome news.
The PSA1+ has been designed to work in any recording scenario, from home gaming setups to professional broadcast studios. It can support a wide microphone weight range, from as little as 94g all the way up to 1.2kgs. The arm has an extended reach and full 360-degree rotation. There is also an integrated cable management system for both XLR and USB cables.
Both end-address and side-address microphones are accommodated by the flexible mounting system and the arm is compatible with all standard shockmounts. A threaded desk mount and desk clamp are included. The arm comes pre-assembled, so you can set it up and start using it right away
