Auray BA-XE4 Overview

Outfit your home or pro studio with the Auray BA-XE4, a sturdy, two-section broacast boom arm that supports broadcast-style microphones up to 3.5 lb. With its integrated 10' XLR cable and virtually noiseless operation, this boom arm will come in handy for podcasting or radio-style broadcasting.

The BA-XE4 sports a spring design engineered to provide maximal support to microphones. It provides plenty of range for positioning. Use the standard 5/8"-27 mic mount to acommodate most shockmounts and mic clips, and reposition the angle of the mount at will. When you've got it just right, you can lock it in place with the locking knob.

In addition to the included XLR cable, the BA-XE4 ships with two types of clamps. Use the C-clamp for temporary installations, or use the tabletop flange mount for a permanent installation on a broadcast station or podium.

Lightweight Steel Construction
The BA-XE4's steel construction makes it a sturdy, reliable, and durable studio accessory.
Support Mics up to 3.5 lb
This sturdy broadcast arm can support mics up to 3.5 pounds, which is plenty of strength to hold a Rode Podcaster, or the Senal SCM-660 and a shockmount.
Integrated XLR Cable
A 10' XLR mic cable is integrated into the arm to minimize cable clutter, so you don't have to go through the hassle of threading and weaving a cable through the arm. This makes mic setup and attachment fast and easy.
Smooth, Noise-Free Operation
The arm is designed to move noiselessly and minimize handling noise when you're readjusting the mic or swiveling it over to another person. Repositioning the microphone will not interrupt or compromise your audio.
5/8-27 Threaded Microphone Mount
The industry-standard 5/8-27 threaded microphone mount is compatible with most shockmounts and microphone clips.
Wide Range of Motion
An extension of up to 38" and the ability to rotate the arm 360° allow for precise microphone placement. And once you've put your mic in an optimal position, you can be sure it stays there, because the ergonomic locking knobs give you plenty of torque to tighten and fix the mic's position.
Mounting Options
The BA-XE4 broadcast arm comes with options of convenient temporary mounting or more permanent installation. The included C-clamp is for temporary and movable fastening to a desktop or workstation. The flange mount screws into a flat surface for permanent installation on a broadcast station or podium.
Compatible Products
The BA-XE4 will work with nearly any broadcast-style microphone weighing up to 3.5 lb. It is especially compatible with microphones such as the Senal SC-550X Professional Cardioid Condenser Microphone, the UB-440 Professional USB Microphone, and the SCM-660 Large-Diaphragm Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone. You can also use the PCR-65 Cardioid Condenser Microphone, RM-650 Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone, RM-800 Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone, and more.

Auray BA-XE4 Reviews

Great for the price

It feels a little flimsy, but actually does a really decent job. Great overall articulation, and I love having the built-in XLR cable—makes cable management a lot more painless.

Easy to assemble and use

Really fine value for the money. Like most Auray stuff, very intuitive to put together and dummy-proof. Also like most Auray stuff, not the single sturdiest thing in the world-- once we added our Rode mic, pop shield, and housing for it, the arm is a bit over-burdened (I think it is supposed to hold 3.5 lbs, which is not immense). But still, gets the job done, overall a recommend.

I'm sorry, I should have clarified my last question - I was asking if the stud/spigot that mounts to the base clamp is 5/8" in width? I'm planning on using a different clamp with a 5/8" receiver. (BH#SACSGC) Thank you.
Asked by: Kenji
The base stud/spigot is not specified.
