What is Certified Open Box Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call "Certified Open Box" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

Certified Open Box (also known as a demo) means we’ve had it out of the box for our YouTube channel, displayed at events, tested in our studio, or maybe it was in a customer’s hands for a few days and isn’t ‘factory fresh’ as a result. Every Certified Open Box item we sell has Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty and has been tested and verified up to ‘new’ specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it’s in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Certified Open Box item at Sweetwater, you get:

2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!

It's just a desk mount boom stand, but it's exactly what I needed with limited work space. Also, what great customer service! A follow up call for a $... product? Who does that?!!! I will be back for future needs.

The broadcast boom arm works like a glove. Absolutely perfect durability. I will be doing a review on my Instagram page... And I will definitely give it 10 Stars. Looking forward to being sponsored soon by Sweetwater hopefully

Purchased the Rode PSA 1 to use with my Blue Yeti Mic. I use it for zoom meetings with my Ukulele Group. It works well and is just fun to use. I also use it to record on my computer. It gets the mic off my desk and provides better placement for mic use. Bottom line the Rode PSA1 is helping me get through this crazy pandemic. Sweetwater is a pleasure to do business with. Very personal and friendly, helpful people. Thank You Sweetwater.

The Rode PSA1 arm is very sturdy and the springs hold a Blue Yeti X in any position I desire. I have a few minor nits: (1) Range of Lowering: The boom arm assembly will not go lower than about four inches (10 cm) above desk level, so the mic is sometimes in the view of the webcam. This happens because the primary and secondary boom arms of the PSA1 are the same length. If the primary boom arm was shorter than the secondary boom arm, the mic could drop below desk level. I experimented with an upside down arrangement whereby the Yeti mic is held upside down from over my head, which had the added benefit of the PSA1 assembly of not obstructing the view of my dual monitors, but which placed the mic more squarely in the view of the webcam (not desirable). To lower the boom arm, I would have to purchase some parts that hook between the PSA1 and my shock mount to lower the mic by the desired amount. Time for a trip to the hardware store? (2) Rotation Lock: The small chrome disk that tightens at the tip of the mount to prevent rotation comes loose every time you adjust the rotation of the mic and it comes loose and must be tightened, seemingly, every time I touch it - every time a move my mic around, the rotation lock comes loose again, which is inconvenient. The rotation lock does not stay locked. The use of such coarse threads (fine threads would hold better) on the rotation lock appears to be a minor design flaw of the PSA1. Overall, this is a very good mount, assuming you can find the geometry you desire with your desk arrangement. I recommend this boom arm, which is great but not perfect.
