Blue Microphones Compass Desk Microphone Stand
Compass is a premium broadcast boom arm with internal springs and built-in cable management, ideal for broadcast applications like game streaming, podcasting, voice-over and more. With smooth, quiet operation and sophisticated on-camera looks, Compass is the perfect microphone boom arm for mics weighing up to 2.4 pounds, including Yeti and Blackout Spark SL.
All friction hinges are hand-tightening—no need for any tools—and a full 360 - degree rotation means you’re covered for any application. Effortless and quiet, Compass stays in place after being adjusted, and the robust C-clamp creates a solid connection with your desktop. Pair Compass with Yeti and the Radius III shockmount for a professional broadcast setup.
Being nimble and sleek, Compass lets you put your mic where you want it, when you want it. Whether you adjust the boom to disappear on camera or feature it front and center with the mic, Compass fits perfectly into your game streaming or podcasting setup and will impress your audience.

AI summary of reviews
Based on the number of reviews: 37
Strengths
- Robust build: Customers frequently praise the arm's sturdy construction and high-quality materials, noting it feels premium and well-made.
- Weight capacity: The arm effectively supports heavier microphones like the Blue Yeti Blackout and Rode Podmic without issues, maintaining position reliably.
- Cable management: The integrated cable routing system is a clever feature that keeps microphone cables neatly hidden within the arm.
- Ease of setup: Many users find the arm easy and quick to install, allowing for a hassle-free setup process.
Weaknesses
- Joint stiffness: The central joint can be overly stiff, causing the arm to self-elevate with lighter microphones, and requiring a break-in period for the strong spring.
- Limited articulation: Some users report that the arm's movement is restricted, not allowing for desired positioning, and the base joint lacks a locking mechanism, causing it to rotate unintentionally.
- Manufacturing defects: A few customers received units with factory defects or experienced parts breaking under normal use, with some critical components being plastic instead of metal.
