Elgato

- Allen key adjusters required for tensioning certain joints - not ideal for minimizing tools in workflow
- Magnetic cable management trays on top of boom arm could be better hidden on underside
- Boom arm design limits height adjustment in certain desk configurations
- May cause minor bouncing with heavier microphones until settled in position

- Desk clamp is quite wide and bulky, may not fit desks with backboards and limited overhang
- Requires Allen key for assembly and tensioning adjustments
- Gets relatively high when fully assembled - top arm is 16cm from desk at flattest configuration, limiting monitor placement options
- Base arm floats 7cm above desk leaving minimal clearance for mouse arm movement
- May not be suitable for desks with significant clutter or for users requiring maximum desk clearance

The Wave Mic Arm LP delivers solid all-metal construction with effective cable management via magnetic channels that route both USB and XLR cables cleanly. The arm holds microphones ranging from light USB models to heavy broadcast mics like the Shure SM7B without creeping or sagging once properly tensioned. The low-profile design maintains sight lines better than standard boom arms, though the 7cm base clearance and 16cm upper arm height create tight spaces that limit monitor placement and mouse movement. The bulky desk clamp struggles with desks that have backboards or minimal overhang. Best for creators who want clean cable routing and stable positioning with ample desk space; skip if your desk has limited clearance or you need tool-free tension adjustments.

Kettner Creative conducted extensive hands-on testing of the Wave Mic Arm LP with three different microphone types to evaluate real-world performance. The reviewer found the arm to be well-designed with effective cable management via magnetic channels that worked smoothly with both USB and XLR cables. Installation took approximately 2 minutes, though the use of an Allen key was noted as a minor inconvenience. The arm successfully supported microphones ranging from the lighter Elgato Wave:3 to heavier options like the Shure SM7B, with the ball joint design proving flexible enough to avoid cable conflicts even with the SM7B's integrated cable management system. The low-profile design and premium appearance were highlighted as standout features, though the reviewer wished the cable management trays were positioned on the underside for better concealment.
