@sarahsloan2675:  Have you seen the yellowtec Mika table stand?

@AudioMasterclass replies to @sarahsloan2675: Sure - https://shop.yellowtec.com/products/mika-table-stand-mic-arm - €195 + VAT

@serenitybase9888:  12 minutes talkiing to himself. not showing us the boom mic arm. crazy dude.

@AudioMasterclass replies to @serenitybase9888: You watched 12 minutes? Sounds as though you like me talking just as much as I do.

@ModPhreak replies to @serenitybase9888: Nope, glad I saw the comment ... bye

@mavic6155:  There is a price curve, and the M!ka is at the higher end. Why? It’s not just because of its looks, the materials used or available range of accessories, but also because of the following reason: In a radio studio, stations often apply a significant amount of audio processing. This means barely audible sounds, such as a slight 'twang' or noises from repositioning the mic arm, are amplified dramatically. A high-quality mic arm helps to minimize these unwanted low-volume noises the most effectively.

@cruisingfanatic:  Beautiful choice, I have the Yellowtec M!ka with indicator light and use it on my TikTok radio lives, bit over the top but I don't care it looks beautiful mounting the Neumann TLM102... Great video

@adotopp1865:  Stop using Amazon .

@Godisgood137:  Waves dereverb sort you out

@reer3192:  I've heard of horror stories of the spring on cheap arms flying off in high speeds and going through walls, like would cause a blunt bullet wound type of damage. One user said it flew right beside their heads and said that they probably would've died. Can't say how true this might be I doubt the spring is on that much tension but they did have a picture of a damaged wall.

@yellowtecgermany replies to @reer3192: Will never happen with a m!ka Mic Arm thanks to all springs and cables being integrated!!

@reer3192 replies to @reer3192: @yellowtecgermanyyour products look amazing, will definitely keep that in mind.

@yellowtecgermany replies to @reer3192: @reer3192 Thanks for your feedback!!

@officialWWM:  Yeah, I’m not paying that much to hold my mic up off the ground.

@marxman00:  lovin the boingcore music ! (was it inspired by the spring in your old mic arm?)

@AudioMasterclass replies to @marxman00: I have a feeling that the boing might feature in an upcoming irritating unboxing music.

@marxman00 replies to @marxman00: @AudioMasterclass I got it ...Its Boingwerk !

@michaeldeloatch7461:  @ 3:30 - Someone out there is going to fire up Swami and turn your spring into a virtuoso MIDI instrument! (Inner nudge, nudge.) It has a certain majestic timbre like an orchestral tympanum.

@AudioMasterclass replies to @michaeldeloatch7461: I accept your challenge. I shall use it in my next irritating unboxing music.

@michaeldeloatch7461:  I am glad I haven't got my morning beverage yet so I didn't do an actual spit-take when you wiggled the XLR's ;-)

@AudioMasterclass replies to @michaeldeloatch7461: I often feel that I need wiggle anything that in itself isn't all that interesting. So far, it hasn't crossed over into real life.

@Douglas_Blake_579:  You mean my re-purposed Luxo Lamp arm isn't good enough?

@AudioMasterclass replies to @Douglas_Blake_579: M!ka says no.

@Douglas_Blake_579 replies to @Douglas_Blake_579: @AudioMasterclass
Daymn ... I knew it would say that! (LOL)

@rienpost:  Over 300 GBP for a mic stand? Whoa. What kind of tripod (or stand) is your camera on? And how much was that?

@AudioMasterclass replies to @rienpost: Just a telescopic pole that clamps to my table. It isn’t all I could wish for and I’d pay maybe £100 for one that does all I want. Snag is it doesn’t exist.

@rienpost replies to @rienpost: @AudioMasterclass Not much of a videophile, are you? 😉

@thexfile.:  It comes down to personal preference. 🎙

@EricIolo:  Well as long as you are happy. We need to keep things simple at our age. Enjoy it while you can, we could be dead soon!
