Rode PSA1+ Blue: Silent Performance With Personality on Camera

The Rode PSA1+ in Blue is a premium professional studio boom arm with a parallelogram spring design, fully damped springs, 37 in (940 mm) of horizontal reach, and completely silent operation. The bold blue finish turns a functional mic arm into part of your on-camera identity, standing out in a stream, a video podcast, or a personalized creator space where the gear is part of the brand. Sound professional, stay silent, and show a little personality doing it.

What Makes the PSA1+ Completely Silent

Where the original PSA1 uses internal springs for quiet operation, the PSA1+ goes further to eliminate mechanical noise entirely. Its internal springs are fully damped so they cannot twang or creak, a neoprene cover wraps the arm to muffle any residual sound, and rubber contact points at the joints isolate the microphone from the knocks, bumps, and keyboard and mouse clicks that travel through a desk. The result is an arm you can raise, lower, and swing during a live stream or a take without a single sound reaching the microphone.

Reach, Rotation, and Effortless Positioning

The PSA1+ keeps the parallelogram design that holds a microphone's angle constant as you change its height, so your aim never drifts. It extends farther than the original, with 37 in (940 mm) of horizontal reach and 34 in (860 mm) of vertical reach, plus full 360-degree rotation to place the mic anywhere or swing it away. High-quality locking nuts on the mounting system make angle adjustments quick and secure, and both a threaded desk mount and a padded desk clamp are included for a solid fit on desks up to 2.75 in (70 mm) thick.

Built for Light and Heavy Mics Alike

A key upgrade is how much wider the PSA1+ opens its weight range: it balances microphones and shockmounts from just 94 g (0.2 lb) all the way to 1.2 kg (2.7 lb). That means it holds featherweight USB mics like the NT-USB Mini as confidently as heavier broadcast dynamics like the PodMic, Procaster, Podcaster, and Broadcaster. Integrated cable management routes both USB and XLR cables through the arm, so even a bold, eye-catching setup stays clean and free of dangling leads.

Who the Rode PSA1+ Blue Is For

The PSA1+ Blue is for the streamer, video podcaster, and creator who treats their setup as part of their brand and wants a mic arm with color and character to match. Pair it with a Rode microphone and a shockmount for a silent, stable, camera-ready rig that expresses your style while it performs.
