Accessories
Ergotron HX Premium Heavy Duty ArmHeavy-duty arm built for ultrawide and large-format displays with professional-grade ergonomics.
Pros
- Dual USB/XLR connectivity eliminates the need for separate mic purchases when transitioning between streaming and professional recording setups
- Built-in headphone output with independent level control enables zero-latency monitoring during recording or live sessions without routing through software
- All-metal construction and TeamSpeak certification deliver durable, production-tested reliability for extended daily use in professional environments
Cons
- Voice isolation technology is fixed—no granular control to adjust isolation intensity, limiting flexibility when recording in variable acoustic spaces
- USB-only operation requires connection to a computer; no battery or standalone operation limits mobility and on-location recording scenarios
Pros
- Supports displays up to 49 inches and 42 lbs—one of the few arms engineered for true ultrawide monitors like the Samsung Odyssey G9.
- 11.5 inches of vertical lift with 360-degree rotation and 75-degree tilt range enables ergonomic positioning for extended work sessions.
- Dual mounting options (desk clamp for edges 0.4–2.6 inches thick and grommet mount) plus VESA adapter kits provide installation flexibility across various desk setups.
Cons
- Requires a separate accessory (HX Heavy Duty Tilt Pivot, sold separately) to support true curved ultrawides like the Samsung 49-inch Odyssey G9, adding cost and complexity.
- Premium price tier reflects heavy-duty engineering; not a budget option for single-monitor setups under 30 lbs.
