Today I review the new broadcast boom arm from Blue, the Compass. This is a high quality boom that has 3 articulatable joints, a hidden cable raceway, as well as the ability to hold 2.4lbs of mic. The only issue I have with this is that it limits the movement of the SM7b. Other than that, I really like this boom arm.

Today I review the updated mic from Neat, the King Bee II. This is a revision to the extremely popular budget mic the King Bee. This offers a more tame top end in a less ostentatious design. You get a lot of the same pros but now suffer from a little bit of issue with the shockmount. All around if you want a beefy low end and detailed top end, this mic might be right for you.
