Microphone Boom Pole Manufacturer
Xingyong manufactures telescoping aluminum microphone boom poles for audio brands and AV distributors — tubes, cam locks and molded grips from one factory.
- Quiet-handling builds — section fit and grip damping specced so handling noise stays out of the take.
- Thread-true ends — 3/8-inch mic thread adapters machined in-house, cable path per program.
- OEM terms that hold — private label, free samples in 25–35 days, quotes in 24 hours.
What a Microphone Boom Pole Must Not Do — and Where Aluminum Sits
A microphone boom pole holds a mic over the action, out of frame — the boom operator’s whole craft hangs on the far end of it.
The product brief is negative space: the pole must not creak, not flex into the frame, not transmit hand noise up the tube. Section fit and grip damping decide that — which is why reviews talk about handling noise before they mention weight.
The market tiers by material: aluminum owns the entry and rental tier — the first boom a filmmaker buys and the dozen a school AV department replaces; carbon owns the feature-set premium. Every audio line needs the aluminum tier priced right.
Jiangsu Xingyong Aluminum Technology Co., Ltd — the factory behind poolpole.com — extrudes and anodizes the aluminum sections, machines the mic-thread ends and molds the grips, shipping boom poles carded and boxed. Mics, shock mounts and cables stay your product — we supply the pole layer and say so.
The production family has siblings on this floor: staging hardware at pipe and drape poles and site masts at telescoping light pole. This page is the audio boom program.
Microphone Boom Pole OEM Options — What You Can Spec, Line by Line
Send reach targets and thread standard first — the sheet fills from there. One factory owns tube, lock, end and grip, so an audio SKU closes in one purchase order.
| Specification | OEM Options | Confirm Before Sampling |
|---|---|---|
| Build | Telescoping sections; reach classes per catalog | Collapsed and extended targets |
| Tube | Extruded 6061, anodized; wall to flex target | Mic and blimp weights carried |
| Locking | Twist cam locks tuned for silent one-hand adjustment | Adjustment feel target |
| Mic end | 3/8-inch thread adapters machined in-house | Thread standard and tip style |
| Cable path | Internal or external routing per program | Connector and coil spec you ship |
| Grip | Molded damping grips per program | Grip length and texture |
| Finish | Anodized — matte black standard, colors per brand | Color codes |
| Packaging | Sleeves, tubes, private label | Counts, barcodes and artwork |
| MOQ & lead time | Per configuration; sampling 25–35 days | Volumes and launch dates |
Microphone Boom Pole Builds for How Your Audio Line Sells
The audio wall sells the pole, the holder and the reach class. Three SKU families below, one extrusion and machining line behind them.
Boom Mic Pole
The core SKU: telescoping sections, silent cam locks and a machined thread end, carded for retail.
Boom Pole Holder
The stand-and-cradle accessory — molded holders that park a rigged boom between takes.
Telescoping Boom Pole
Long-reach classes for stage and field sports — extended range without flex into the frame.
Specs reflect anodized 6061 boom poles from Jiangsu Xingyong (ISO 9001 + IATF 16949, since 2010); confirm thread standard before sampling.
Purpose-Built Boom Poles vs Painter-Pole Rigs vs Carbon Fiber
A boom pole is judged by what the recording does not contain — the honest three-way read:
| Point | Purpose-built aluminum boom | Painter-pole rig | Carbon fiber boom pole |
|---|---|---|---|
| Handling noise | Section fit and grip damping engineered for it | Creaks into every take | Excellent |
| Weight at reach | Workable through interview length | Arm-dead in minutes | Excellent — the long-day premium |
| Mic thread | Machined 3/8-inch end, concentric | Improvised adapters | Excellent |
| Rental abuse | Aluminum dents, keeps working | Fails fast | Can crack at the lock zones |
| Line economics | Entry and rental tier at factory-direct cost | Not a product | Premium tier — your top shelf |
Why Audio Brands and AV Distributors Choose Xingyong for Boom Poles
A boom answers to the operator holding it overhead and the buyer who owns its returns. These four cards cover both. Building an audio accessory line? See how we work with brands and distributors.
Boom Poles That Keep Handling Noise Out of the Take
- Section fit toleranced so the tube does not creak under rotation.
- Molded damping grips isolate hand noise from the mic end.
- For distributors: the noisy-pole review stops writing itself.
Thread Ends, Locks and Grips From One Factory
- 3/8-inch ends machined in-house; cam locks and grips molded beside the press.
- A tip or grip change is a tooling tweak, not a supplier search.
- Building the line? Start at brands & distributors.
The Factory That Extrudes and Assembles Your Boom Poles
- A 2,000-ton extrusion press with machining and assembly in the same plant.
- Program volumes from 120,000 to 1.6 million pieces per order.
- Matte-black anodize held consistent across reorders.
ISO 9001 + IATF 16949 — Send a Thread Spec for Free Sample Booms
- ISO 9001 / 14001 / 45001 / 50001 and IATF 16949; amfori BSCI A-rated.
- Free samples against a confirmed spec in 25–35 days.
- Certificates are public on the compliance page — audit before you commit.

Case Studies From the Same Sectional Platform
AV buyers qualify a pole factory on shipped programs. Three from the same floor:
Frequently Asked Questions
Six answers for the people who own an audio accessory line — brand managers, AV distributors and importers. Booming one short film this weekend? An audio retailer is faster; this desk is for their suppliers.
Do you make the microphones, shock mounts or cables?
No — capsules, mounts and cabling are your side of the SKU. We supply the pole layer: tube, cam locks, machined 3/8-inch ends and molded grips, with the cable path built to accept what you ship. We say so up front so the line plan stays honest.
Can you route internal cables?
Cable paths are configured per program — internal routing depends on section sizes and the connector spec you ship, so it is confirmed at the drawing stage rather than promised as a blanket yes. Send the coil and connector and the answer comes back with the quote.
Our entry booms creak — what actually changes?
Fit tolerance and grip damping: sections are toleranced so rotation does not stick-slip, and grips are molded with damping in mind. Handling noise is treated as a spec line, not a review surprise.
Aluminum or carbon for a boom line?
Both — honestly tiered. Aluminum owns entry, education and rental: it dents instead of cracking and costs what those buyers pay. Carbon owns the long-day premium. A healthy wall carries the tiers instead of pretending one material does everything.
How is an OEM boom pole priced at volume?
By reach class, section count, lock and thread machining, grip tooling, finish and volume. Factory-direct pricing follows aluminum billet. Quotes return within 24 hours.
What is the MOQ for a private-label boom pole line?
Set per configuration — one lock and thread tooling serves the reach classes together, keeping entry volume workable for an audio brand. Free sample booms ship against a confirmed spec.
