Manufacturer description

The Aokeo AK-55 is a low-profile desk boom arm built for creators who want their mic where they need it without an arm cutting across their monitor. Its low center of gravity keeps a mounted microphone planted, so handling bumps during a stream or podcast take don't translate into shifting position or a wobbling capsule. Both arm sections rotate a full 360 degrees, and the mic-bearing arm swings 180 degrees up and down, letting you park a Blue Yeti, Snowball iCE, HyperX QuadCast or SoloCast, or Elgato Wave exactly where your voice needs it. The desk clamp fits any surface under 7cm thick…

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored Aokeo Microphone Arm using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the streaming gear category. Aokeo's streaming gear lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.

Common buyer scenarios for streaming gear of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase. Prices and stock are set by the retailer and may have moved since this page was last updated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this hold a Blue Yeti?

Yes. Aokeo lists the AK-55 as suitable for the Blue Yeti, Snowball iCE, HyperX QuadCast and SoloCast, and Elgato Wave. Its maximum load capacity is 2kg, which covers the Yeti on its own; confirm total weight if you are adding a heavy shock mount.

What thickness of desk does the clamp fit?

The clamp fits tables less than 7cm thick. Measure your desktop at the clamping edge before ordering, since thicker butcher-block or layered gaming desks can exceed that limit.

Does it come with a shock mount or microphone?

No. The microphone is not included, and the package lists a 3/8-inch to 1/4-inch adapter and a 3/8-inch to 5/8-inch adapter. Those adapters make it compatible with most microphones and shock mounts sold separately.

How far can the arm move?

Both arms rotate 360 degrees, and the arm holding the microphone also swings 180 degrees up and down. That range lets you position the mic regardless of where the base clamps to your desk.

Is there a warranty?

Aokeo states the product includes one year of after-sales service and invites buyers to contact them with questions. Check the current Amazon listing for the exact warranty terms that apply to your order.
