## Summary

This video provides an unboxing and step-by-step assembly guide for the Elgato Wave Desk Stand, a microphone stand designed for streamers and content creators. The reviewer demonstrates how to attach the heavy base plate, mount the arm, and connect various microphones or accessories like the Elgato Wave Neo, highlighting cable management features.

### Key Points

- **Unboxing and First Impressions** [00:18] — The box contains a manual, heavy plate, arm, screws, and rubber bands for cable management. The packaging is plastic-free, which is appreciated.
- **Assembly Difficulty** [01:09] — Screwing the arm to the heavy plate is doable but difficult alone; it's easier with someone holding the plate. The plate needs to be heavy for counterweight.
- **First Screw Secured** [02:28] — One screw is fully inserted, attaching the arm to the plate. Additional screws are for cable management wraps.
- **Microphone Mount Screws** [03:25] — The universal end comes with different screws: 1/4 inch, 3/8 inch, and 5/8 inch. The reviewer uses the thick one for the Elgato Wave Neo. The Elgato foam grip can use the standard thread.
- **Attaching Microphone to Stand** [04:36] — The microphone screw is tightened onto the stand arm. The stand elevates the mic to eye level for steady TikTok recording without holding the phone.
- **Attaching Elgato Wave Neo** [05:24] — To attach the Elgato Wave Neo, remove an existing part, pull out the middle spin by turning (not pulling), insert a small screw with a thicker flat side into the mic, then screw the mic onto the stand.
- **Cable Management** [06:46] — The stand includes rubber bands for routing cables. The reviewer runs the mic cable through these to keep a clean setup.

### Conclusion

The Elgato Wave Desk Stand is a versatile and well-designed accessory for streamers, with easy cable management and compatibility across microphones. Assembly may require assistance, but the result is a professional, clutter-free desk setup.

vve desk stand this is a new desk stand from
go we have a manual here a the box is empty so I'm just going to put that aside we're going to see what's
put that aside we're going to see what's in the box in the
absolutely no Plastics in here which I do appreciate
you know what we do have a manual so what we need to do is we basically need to screw this thing on that really heavy plate so we push the screws TR
the the big heavy plate we have the sting in the in h I'm going
doable but it's difficult it's easier if somebody's holding that plate or holding somebody's holding that plate or holding something else the arm
then I'm doing the second screw so I don't have to hold it as much heavy because it needs to be counterweight so it needs to be
heavy okay I got one of the screws all the way in
in now this is attached the the screws in the these just for cable management so we can wrap them around
are basically to mount your microphone because now we have this end and this end is a universal end and it doesn't fit on all microphones in the menual says it's a 1
microphones in the menual says it's a 1 14 in a 38 in and a 58 in I don't know Americans so I don't know inches that much but I do recognize these shapes and the thick one is usually for bigger
usually for bigger microphones so my X microphone does have the the thick one so just screw this on here and then you can screw your basically because otherwise your microphone doesn't attach to this screw
right here if you want to attach something else this might screw on this screw they basically wanted to make it versatile by giving you different option screws for example if you have the Elgato foam grip this one needs the
normal tread that is already on it so you can just trat this on it there's two trats on it actually but let me just use this one
I'm not good at doing this but here we go that's on the strp make sure it's secure I don't want to lose my
basically I can start recording a Tik Tok video because now it's on eye level and I don't have to like I can just talk into my my camera lens and now I don't have to hold my phone and it will be a steady shot you can also look at the
back of the camera like this and look at these lenses however it's a little harder to see yourself like that if you're recording a Tik Tok because then you don't know if you're in the frame or not and how how the frame is looking
guess then you can see it because then you can look at the mirror but then anymore next up I'm going to show you how to put on there is the aato wave Mar Neo first of all you need to get this part off then there's this spin in the
middle which you need to pull out uh by turning not by pulling by turning and then if you look inside there's already a tread in
here and I'm wondering if that's already treading on and if you try you don't tread that on so what we need to do is we grab the little Trad so you have two little one we grab the little one it has like
the ticker flat side and the screw side the screw side goes inside the wave
Neo and now we can screw it on top of the stand
go and that's how you attach the elato wave Neo to the elato wave desk stand how to do it and then we have cable management right we could plug this back
in because we need to when we we're going to use it and then we can run it through all these Cable Management things run it through all the rubber bands right here so it looks clean and not cluttered at all which I totally do
with everything I run every cable through a nice River Band and I totally do not have any cable mess at all underneath my PC if you want to buy The aato bave Descent the Elgato wave Neo or the Elgato phone clamp I'll leave the
