Maneuver with just a touch in complete quiet

Sleek Design

Wave Mic Arm MK.2 looks as good as it performs. Its minimalist, logo-free design blends seamlessly into any setup from professional to personal. The matte finish reduces reflections on camera, while the all-metal build adds a sense of durability and refinement. Every surface, joint, and cap is thoughtfully engineered for clean aesthetics and long-term reliability.

Keep cables out of sight and out of the way

Nothing ruins a clean setup faster than loose cables. MK.2 keeps them hidden with built-in cable channels that route neatly along the arm. Magnetic covers snap into place, allowing quick access for adjustments while maintaining a polished look. The result: a workspace that’s organized, clutter-free, and ready for close-ups.

Mount virtually any mic up to 2.6 lbs / 1.2 kg

Its reinforced metal joints and improved weight distribution support heavier microphones without requiring counterweights. With included 1/4", 3/8", and 5/8" adapters, compatibility is never a question; just connect and go.

Not all desks are built the same, and Wave Mic Arm MK.2’s compact, padded clamp ensures it fits nearly all of them. The soft interior lining prevents scratches while maintaining a firm grip, even on glass or irregular surfaces. Its low-profile design saves precious desk space and stays out of your way, whether you’re gaming, editing, or streaming.

Riser Included

Sometimes you need a little more height, especially with multi-monitor setups or deep desks. Wave Mic Arm MK.2 includes a detachable riser that adds up to 150 mm of lift, giving you extra clearance where you need it most. It’s easy to install and just as solid as the arm itself, providing a stable base for your setup.
