K&M 23850 – Adjustable Microphone Desk Arm

The K&M 23850 adjustable microphone desk arm is a smooth-running, internally wired boom with clamp, XLR cable and 0.8 kg load capacity for studio, podcast and broadcast microphones.

The K&M 23850 microphone desk arm is a professional table-mounted boom designed for studios, radio stations, podcasts and multimedia workstations that need flexible microphone positioning with a clean, uncluttered desktop. Its slim steel construction, smooth joints and integrated cable management make it easy to bring a microphone into the ideal position for voice work and move it away again when not required.

The K&M 23850 microphone desk arm uses a robust internal spring and precision hinges so the arm stays exactly where it is placed, even with frequent adjustment during live broadcasts or recording sessions. An integrated 5 m microphone cable with 3‑pin XLR connectors is routed inside the arm, keeping wiring tidy and reducing snags around keyboards, control surfaces and monitors. A standard 3/8″ threaded connector with 5/8″ adapter provides compatibility with most studio and broadcast microphone clips and shockmounts.

A stable table clamp is supplied with the K&M 23850 microphone desk arm, covering typical desktop thicknesses so the arm can be mounted quickly on studio furniture, podcast desks and workbenches. The boom length is adjustable from approximately 460 mm to 960 mm, giving generous reach across the work area while remaining compact enough for tight spaces. With a load capacity of up to 0.8 kg, the arm comfortably supports common broadcast dynamics, side‑address condensers and many shockmounted podcast microphones.

For semi-permanent or fixed installations, the arm can also be mounted using the optional K&M 23855 table flange, providing a neat through‑desk solution in on‑air studios or production rooms. Finished in black, it blends with most studio hardware and helps maintain a professional appearance on camera for video and streaming setups.
