Heil Sound SB-2 Compact Extendable Microphone Boom Arm C-Clamp

Heil Sound SB-2: Compact Microphone Boom for Tight Spaces

The Heil Sound SB-2 is a small, extendable microphone boom designed to position a mic where larger arms will not fit. A microphone boom is an adjustable arm that holds a mic off a desk or stand so it can be aimed at the source, and the SB-2 shrinks that concept for confined setups. Podcasters and remote broadcasters value the SB-2 because it delivers proper mic placement on a crowded desk, in a booth, or in a travel bag.

Extendable Reach up to 17 Inches

The SB-2 extends to a maximum length of 17 inches, giving useful reach in a deliberately compact package. That span is enough to bring a microphone from the edge of a table into position in front of the talent without a sprawling studio arm. For a home podcaster short on desk space, the modest extension keeps the mic exactly where it is needed while leaving room for the rest of the rig.

Included C-Clamp for Instant Mounting

Every SB-2 ships with a Heil C-Clamp that opens to a maximum of 1.5 inches to grip a desk or tabletop edge. A clamp mount fixes the boom firmly to a surface so the microphone stays stable during a session without a floor stand. This makes setup fast in temporary or travel locations, where clamping to whatever table is available is far more practical than hauling a stand.

Removable Stem for Stand Mounting

The stem of the SB-2 is removable, which lets the boom detach from its clamp and thread onto any standard microphone stand. This flexibility means the same boom works clamped to a desk today and mounted on a stand tomorrow as the setup changes. An operator who moves between a home studio and remote gigs gains one boom that adapts to either mounting method.

Standard Threading and Mount Compatibility

The SB-2 uses the industry-standard 5/8 inch to 27 thread and accepts common Heil microphone clips and shock mounts. It also fits all Heil brass-lined mounts, including the DT-1, FL-2, RS-1, and WM-1, so it integrates cleanly with an existing Heil accessory kit. That broad compatibility lets a user pair the boom with the exact clip or shock mount their microphone requires.

Built for Travel and Remote Recording

Because it is compact and pairs with the included clamp, the SB-2 is a natural choice for travel and remote podcast recording. The small arm tucks into a bag and clamps to a hotel desk or field table for a quick, stable recording position anywhere. For a creator who records on the road, the SB-2 provides studio-style mic placement without the bulk of a full boom stand.
