Hello! A quick question for you 416 fans out there...I have got a Sontronics Saturn on the Rode PSA-1 studio arm in my booth...without having to do a pitstop switching mics on the arm, I was looking for an alternative option to mount the 416... what are some of the best options?...i'm limited in space, so was thinking of a desktop stand instead of a secondary arm...any specific recommendations for a desktop stand/mount?

Thanks!

This Heil stand is a nice clean look that would help in a crammed space. It's a bit pricey but all the stuff (Springs, mic cable) us hidden.
Yellowtec makes some really good stuff but you're gonna pay for their quality for sure.
Looks like a desktop mic boom is gonna start at about $100.
Otherwise, I don't have a 416 yet but waiting for it on my desk is something like this.

Why don't you get a mic mount bar? I haven't yet tried the one that I ordered (it's going in the new studio when it's finished), but I plan on mounting the 416 on the same arm (have both the Heil and the RODE) as the TLM103.

Of course I could be delusional thinking it's going work?

The mount bar cost me about $10 and can fit up to 3 mics on it.

I purchased a Rode SM4 shockmount for my 416 which works well. A price search will find one as low as $45.




Strangely I inherited an AKG H 85 Universal Shock Mount from a fellow voice talent and I like it even a titch better. They're going for $120 new however.
