The Auray BAI-2X is a two-section broadcast arm with internal springs and an integrated XLR cable. This versatile and sturdy broadcast arm is great for studio as well as home use. It's ideal for broadcast, voiceover, and podcasts.
The BAI-2X broadcast arm is designed with internal springs that provide a clean and sleek look. The internal balance springs are precision engineered to support and hold in place microphones of up to 5 lb / 2.27kg. The design also minimizes handling noise when re-positioning the arm. The broadcast arm features a standard 5/8"-27 microphone stud mount that is compatible with most shockmounts and microphone clips. The angle of the microphone stud mount can be adjusted and secured with the locking knob, and the angle is maintained when re-positioning the arm. This eliminates the need to readjust it every time the arm is moved. With an extension of up to 40 inches, and the ability to rotate the arm 360°, the BAI-2X allows for precise microphone placement.
The BAI-2X also features a heavy-duty combo mount that consists of a sturdy C-clamp and a heavy-metal desktop mount. The C-clamp is capable of fastening onto desktops up to 2.3" thick. The C-clamp's slim design minimizes the clearance needed to mount it between a desk and wall. The desktop mount detaches from the C-clamp and provides the option of permanent installation to a desktop with the mounting screws (included). A 14" riser is included for adding height to the broadcast arm in order to extend over computer or studio monitors.
A valuable tool for any audio professional who requires critical monitoring, the Senal SMH-1000-MK2 Professional Studio Monitor Headphones are designed for high-quality audio in a variety of settings including studios, the field, and on sets. They offer accurate sound reproduction, making them ideal for checking audio for clarity, monitoring dialog, or quickly checking levels.
The headphones feature a closed-back over-the-ear design that blocks out ambient noise, so you can focus on your audio.

The interchangeable cable design with twist-locking jack prevents accidental disconnects, and the collapsible construction makes them easy to store and transport.
- The closed-back over-the-ear design and padded ear cushions are ideal for recording and field applications because they provide superb isolation from external noise. The SMH-1000-MK2's design helps to reduce bleed, preserve bass response, and minimize unwanted sounds of a noisy studio, set, or ambient noise.
- The large 40mm neodymium drivers deliver a wide frequency response with minimal distortion for natural sound reproduction.
- The SMH-1000-MK2 headphones have a tailored frequency curve that makes them ideal for monitoring vocals, dialog, news, and podcasts. A small peak in the high frequencies ensures dialog cuts through clearly and naturally without coloration or unnatural highs or lows.
- The earcups swivel ±90°, great for quick over-the-shoulder monitoring, while you’re checking audio levels or cueing up the next track.
- Senal’s unique locking jack makes it easy to swap and replace cables, and it provides a secure connection that doesn't detach from an accidental tug or pull.
- The included coiled cable stretches to 10' and is ideal for studio use, so you can move freely while you’re singing, narrating, or monitoring.
- The included 3' straight cable is perfect for boom pole operators who need to plug into a field mixer or receiver and don’t want to trail lots of extra cable behind them.
- Both cables terminate with a 3.5mm mini plug that’s compatible with computer and mobile devices. The included 1/4" adapter lets you connect the headphones to professional gear such as headphone amplifiers, video switchers, audio interfaces, and mixing consoles.
- The SMH-1000-MK2 features earcups and a headband with thick padding for comfortable long wearing. But don't mistake the lightweight build. The headphones are durable and rugged, and made for extended use in exacting professional environments.
- The SMH-1000-MK2 is carefully designed with embedded, unexposed cables to help prevent snags, crimps, and breaks that can bring your session to a halt.
The black Auray WBF-BDM foam windscreen is tailored to fit most broadcast dynamic microphones with a 2" diameter such as the Rode PodMic and the Shure SM7B. It's a practical and simple solution that minimizes vocal plosive sounds of announcers and singers who work up close to the microphone.
In recording or podcast studios, it will also reduce noise from moving air produced by air conditioning, fans, or ventilation systems, up to 8 dB with only minimal high-frequency loss. The hypoallergenic and washable foam also shields your microphone from dust, debris, and moisture that can damage your microphone's capsule.
