Let's be honest! You're here because you have a Shure SM7B microphone that's

mounted on a Rode PSA1 boom arm, and you want to know how you

can get the microphone to sit just a little bit lower on the boom arm. Well,

I'm here to tell you how! But first, you might be asking: "why would I want to get

it to fit lower on the boom arm?" Because instead of buying a normal mic like the

Rode Broadcaster, or the Rode Procaster, or the Shure SM57, or the Shure SM58,

where the XLR connection is at the rear, you had to go and get yourself the Shure

SM7B! Ah, I can't blame you. I did the same thing. You know the difference. The

SM7B has the XLR connector at the top and when you try to swivel your mic, well,

look at that, it bangs into the bracket on the boom arm, so you can't completely

swivel your mic. And the solution is, the Shure a26x three inch Extension Tube. Man

that sounds naughty, like really naughty. Well anyways, the a26x is actually

meant to be used with a tabletop mic stand so that it will bring your Shure

SM7B mic higher up, so that it can record what's coming out of your mouth instead

of recording your heartbeat. But, this also works with the Rode PSA1 boom arm.

Ta-da! And there you have it. Look at that! What a beautiful piece of engineering.

Now, you can swivel your mic 360 degrees and you can even have fun configuring it,

like this. Or even like this. It's just, it's just amazing! It's just wow! For a

piece that's eight dollars US, which translates into about nine hundred and

fifty-seven dollars Canadian, you can't go wrong! Alright. Well, you know the drill.
