Review on Heil Sound PL-2T Overhead Broadcast Boom: Top-Quality Solution for Seamless Audio Broadcasting by Chris Wheeler

Wow. I made the mistake of buying this and some cheap $20 booms. I say "mistake" because while $20 was perfectly fine, it just couldn't handle this healing boom. ABSOLUTELY NO COMPARISON. Let's talk about the cheaper ones, shall we? The cheaper ones are basically copies of each other. All the cheaper ones have external springs, two 15" bar segments, and a cheap table mount. Some come with a microphone holder, others even come with an XLR cable threaded through. Zip ties for routing the cable (because you need a place to route the cable), and of those that offer zip ties, some offer a good solution for routing cables with tape. I bought this and the cheap one just to compare but since they were close I sent the cheaper one back. If I were smart I would only buy the cheap one then I wouldn't know what I'm missing out on. If you're just starting out, the cheaper option is fine. Just don't make the same mistake I did because once you try it you'll fall in love.TL:DR; This boom is perfect for taking the mic off the table so I can focus on my podcast and voiceovers. Hope that helps!
