The long arm of the VESA mount

It's interesting how so many pieces of studio technology pass you by, until one day you discover, buy and install them, and thereafter wonder how you ever did without them.

May we introduce you to the VESA Desk Mount Arm Monitor Stand Bracket with Tilt & Swivel .. ! ?

You've probably heard of VESA mounts, your 50" TV may even be mounted to a wall with one, but have you thought how having your DAW monitor on an extendable arm that allows you to reposition it at will, may be the most liberating bit of tech you ever by?

We're going to break cover here and evangelise the incredibly affordable, robust and downright brilliant range of VESA mounts manufactured by Duronic (go search Amazon).

Now that a hi-def 27" 2560 x 1440 monitor can be had for under £350, you may find that your screen interferes with the optimum placing of your monitor speakers. But with a VESA arm you can simply push the screen out of the way for critical listening tasks such as mixing, and pull it forward when recording and editing. You can even turn it on it's side and use it in portrait mode.

We have this one .. Duronic DM351X3 ..  but if you have a multi-monitor setup check out the Duronic DM453.

Perhaps you have some recommendations too? Let us know.
