The Auray BAE-2X is a sturdy two-section broadcast arm with external springs. It's a versatile and practical accessory for professional and home studios, and is ideal for broadcasts, voiceovers or podcasts. The arm features an integrated 15' XLR cable.

The BAE-2X is designed with a wide range of motion for precise microphone placement and minimal noise when repositioning the microphone. The external balance-spring design is precision-engineered to support microphones of up to 3.6 lb (1.6kg), and hold them in place. This broadcast arm features a standard 5/8"-27 microphone stud mount that's compatible with most shockmounts and microphone clips. The angle of the stud mount can be adjusted and secured with the locking knob, and the angle is maintained when repositioning the arm - eliminating the need to readjust it every time the arm is moved.

The heavy-duty combo mount, consisting of a sturdy C-clamp and a heavy metal desktop mount, offers options for fastening the broadcast arm onto a desktop or permanent installation with the included mounting screws. The 14-inch riser is included to add height to the arm so that it extends over computer or studio monitors.

The BAE-2X is a durable and reliable accessory for any studio or recording setup that provides secure support for your microphone along with excellent signal transfer, and won't disrupt your audio when being repositioned.
