Elgato Wave Mic Arm Pro vs Rode PSA1+ Boom Arm Battle

Want to learn how to edit your own content using Descript? https://www.bambyacademy.com/learndes... I’ve tested and used a lot of podcasting equipment at this point in my career. Before I was a podcast producer, I was a musician, so the love of gear runs deep. Anything that I can get my hands on that is going to improve the sound or the functionality of my setup is something I get very excited about. I also feel like at this point I’ve learned the difference between good and great and I’m quite partial to a gear battle. So here we are. We’ve got two microphone boom arms in the arena that I have rigorously tested. The Elgato Wave Mic Pro and Rode PSA1+. They’ve both been tested in the studio here at Bamby Media HQ, and out on location in various recording environments. I’ve narrowed the battle down to a few key areas that are worth taking into consideration. Ladies and gentlemen, let’s begin.
