Avid MSM-005 Boom Arm for Streaming

The Avid MSM-005 is a heavy-duty microphone boom arm designed for streamers and content creators. It supports microphones up to 3.3lb, covering popular models like the Blue Yeti, HyperX QuadCast S, and AT2020. The 2026 upgraded design uses thicker steel and a triangular connection structure for improved load-bearing and balanced stress distribution.

Clamp Mount Installation and Adjustment

The desk clamp provides a secure mounting point without permanent modifications. All joints are fully adjustable: the base rotates 360°, the lower arm extends 135° forward and back and tilts 180° up and down, while the metal adapter offers 270° of microphone positioning. A floral twist knob allows effortless rotation and locking. When not in use, the scissor mechanism folds compactly to save desk space.

Check Desk Thickness and Microphone Mount

Verify your desk thickness suits the clamp dimensions of 14.33in W x 12.83in H x 9.06in D before ordering. The included clip holder accepts microphones up to 1.3in (32mm) in diameter and rotates 180°. A 3/8in to 5/8in adapter is included for universal thread compatibility, but shock mounts are not supplied. Ensure your microphone weight without its stand falls within the 3.3lb limit.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the MSM-005 boom arm is holding my microphone securely after clamping it to the desk?

Check that the arm stays in position without sagging when your microphone is mounted; the stand is rated for up to 3.3 lb load capacity and the triangular joint design distributes stress evenly.

What accessories come with the MSM-005 and what must I provide separately?

The package includes a microphone clip holder with a 1.3 inch maximum diameter and a 3/8 inch to 5/8 inch thread adapter; shock mounts are not included and must be purchased separately if required.

Which MSM-005 version should I choose for a Blue Yeti or HyperX QuadCast setup?

The single MSM-005 model supports both microphones — Blue Yeti weighs 1.08 lb and HyperX QuadCast weighs 0.55 lb, both well within the 3.3 lb capacity, and the included 3/8 to 5/8 adapter fits their standard mounts.
