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

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.CHAPTER MARKERS00:00 Introduction: The Battle Elgato Wave Mic Pro vs Rode PSA1+00:53 Boom Arm Aesthetics: Elgato vs. Rode03:35 Cable Management Showdown06:10 Noise and Sound Test10:00 Setup and Customization12:50 Branding and Final Thoughts15:41 Conclusion and Personal AnecdoteFull disclosure: Elgato sent me this Wave Mic Pro but all opinions are my own.
