The ‪@NZXTglobal‬ Boom Mic arm is a great choice for anyone looking for a heavy duty mic arm. After using the Blue Compass for some time now I can safely say I would take the NZXT over it after only using it for a couple days. Add to that the new NZXT Capsule microphone and you have a great setup in terms of both aesthetics and performance. I'll have my review for the capsule up soon so check back for that.

Just fyi: The Blue Compass has a screw next to the base connector pin you can use to loosen or tighten the arm. I have a small 500 grams pencil condenser attached to mine at the moment, and it holds it fine after adjusting the screw

Hello, very good video, you have a new subscriber. I wanted to know if the NZXT arm has the same problem as the BLUE with lightweight microphones?

@1UpNerdcore 2 жыл бұрын

It didn’t :) the ROCCAT Torch is a light microphone, I should’ve mentioned that. So on the blue yeti it was popping up and it didn’t at all on this

Do you think this is one of the best arms for the SM7B? Your vid is one of the only ones I can find using the Shure with the boom.

@triplezap2061 2 жыл бұрын

I have the Blue Compass already but I found that my current mic is too light and it just bounces up like you mentioned. Does the Nzxt Capsule work with the Blue Compass, or does it just bounce up like other lighter mics?

@1UpNerdcore 2 жыл бұрын

This won’t bounce up like the blue compass which is great because it will work for any light mic unlike that mic arm.

Great video! I have been looking for a good quality boom arm. Do you think it would work well with a Blue Yeti Nano? Just wanna make sure before I order it! :)

definitely should unless there is a different kind of thread but most of them are universal

@lispyredhead Жыл бұрын

at 6:57 you had the boom arm set up without a microphone and it stayed in place, was that only for a few seconds or can you actually have it set up either without a mic or with a very light mic and it still says in place thanks to the tension? i just purchased a blue compass today and had to return it because the tension would not hold my mic which is very light and barely held my 700g dslr in place! i’m interesting in buying this one as it was my second option but i really don’t want to get it just to find out that it has the same problem.

@1UpNerdcore Жыл бұрын

You should be able to adjust the tension springs to allow it to hold a light mic. It’s a fine balancing act with it from what I’ve noticed though but it holds lighter mics slightly better than the blue compass

@1UpNerdcore 2 жыл бұрын

There’s a screw plate on the threading that the mic attaches to. Spine it to the right position and the that plate spins up to tighten it in place

It’s just the raw audio from the nzxt mic. I didn’t adjust in post so this is what it would sound like for game chat basically.
