What separates it from the longer arms in the range is simply how far it reaches, and that single number decides whether it is the right one for your desk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat 18 inches actually changes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA maximum horizontal or vertical reach of 18 inches is enough to bring a microphone from the edge of a desk to just in front of your mouth. It is not enough to swing a mic across a wide desk to a guest on the other side, and that is deliberate. A short arm stays out of the way of monitors, keyboard and notes, and it does not need a counterweight fight to hold position. For a fixed one-person recording position, short is easier to live with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTelescoping design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MBA18 uses a telescoping design rather than a folding articulated one. Extending and retracting is a single straightforward movement, with fewer joints to loosen over time. In combination with its steel and plastic construction, the arm stays light on a desk that is already carrying an interface, a monitor and a laptop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMounting and what it will hold\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe arm attaches to a table or desk through its C-clamp mount, which offers a maximum grip of 2 inches. Measure the thickness of your desktop before ordering, as that figure is the limit. On top, the MBA18 offers 5\/8 inch to 27 mic clip threading, the standard thread that mic clips and shockmounts use, and it accommodates any microphone weighing up to five pounds. That comfortably covers USB condensers, large diaphragm studio condensers and broadcast dynamics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSamson lists the MBA18 for work from home, content creation, audio for video and education. It is the arm for a desk that has to be a workstation for the rest of the day. If you need to cover a wider surface, reach a second seat, or mount permanently through a flange, the 48-inch MBA48 is the one to compare it against.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Samson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49101143212288,"sku":"MBA18","price":50.46,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/0871\/5776\/files\/samson-mba18-01.jpg?v=1785434675","url":"https:\/\/musicshop.sg\/products\/samson-mba18-18-inch-telescoping-microphone-boom-arm-with-c-clamp-desk-mount","provider":"Musicshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
