Looking for a microphone boom arm, but how do they work? (lemmy.world)

I've got an AT2020, so far I've been using it fine on its tripod but I want an arm.

Those basketball-hoop-looking things that the microphone goes in though, are they a one-size-fits-all? I'd hate to get the wrong thing..

I think you're referring to shock mounts. These aren't generally one size fits all, you'd need to find one that supports your mic. The screw connection from the shock mount to the boom arm is pretty universal though (and if not universal, usually adaptable)

For the AT2020, you may want to consider something like the AT8458a.
