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.
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.

RODE X Streamer X Reviews
Works for HDMI video, but flaky for XLR Mic
I had to send the first unit back under warranty because the audio channel for the XLR mic input would not show up on my G4 MacBook Pro. First, it would show up sometimes, but not always, then less frequently, then not at all. I tried with and without external power, and connected directly to the MacBook instead of the hub in the Studio Display. The replacement unit worked well for a few months, but now is showing the same problems. Neither unit's XLR audio channel ever worked when connected to the Studio Display. The HDMI Video channel does still work, so I'm getting half the value out of it. Would not recommend.
I'm impressed so far
I've been impressed with this item so far! I wanted a simple solution for an XLR microphone and my mirrorless camera. I got it up and running quickly, and the stream from my Nikon z30 is sharp and clear. I was also quickly able to set up this up in OBS for audio and video. Perfect product for my needs.
