Standard Arms

STANDARD ADJUSTABLE ARMS (PAIR) 3-axis adjustment • Ultra leather with memory foam • Removable design • Sold as complete pair ERGONOMIC ARM SUPPORT FOR PROFESSIONAL WORK Arm support isn't optional—it's ergonomic necessity for anyone working at consoles, desks, or control surfaces for extended periods. When your arms are unsupported, your shoulders carry the load. After an hour, you feel tension. After eight hours, you're fighting pain. Proper arm support transfers that load from your shoulders to the armrests, allowing your upper body to maintain neutral alignment while your hands stay active. WHAT THESE ARMS DO: Shoulder Relief: Transfer arm weight from your shoulders to the armrests, preventing tension and fatigue during marathon sessions Height Adjustment (4"-9.5"): Raise or lower arms to match console surface height, desk height, or playing position Width Adjustment: Move arms in/out to match your torso width and console reach requirements Complete Removal: Unthread knobs to remove arms entirely for instrument playing, tight spaces, or personal preference Memory Foam Comfort: Ultra leather covering over memory foam conforms to your forearms for pressure-free support The Standard Arms are professional-grade replacement or upgrade components—not cheap office chair accessories. They feature precision adjustment mechanisms, memory foam padding that maintains its shape through years of use, and ultra leather upholstery that resists wear, spills, and stage abuse. This is the same arm design that ships with new Stealth Chairs—engineered for decades of professional use. WHEN YOU NEED REPLACEMENT ARMS: Worn padding: Years of use compress memory foam or damage upholstery—replace for like-new comfort Damaged mechanisms: Bent adjustment hardware or stripped threads from impact or over-tightening Missing arms: Bought a used chair missing arm assemblies or lost arms during transport Adding arms: Originally configured armless, now want arm support for different work style Upgrading from older models: Retrofit newer arm design to older ErgoLab chairs Preventive replacement: Touring professionals keep spare arm assemblies for field replacement Configuration change: Want Standard arms on a chair currently equipped with Paddle arms (or vice versa) Here's what separates professional arms from office furniture: adjustment range and repeatability. Cheap office chair arms might raise and lower, but the mechanism loosens over time, causing the arms to sag mid-session. Stealth Standard Arms use star knob locking mechanisms that maintain position under dynamic loads. Set your arm height once, and it stays there—for years. That's the difference between fighting your equipment and forgetting about it. 3-AXIS ADJUSTMENT: INFINITE POSITIONING Three independent adjustment axes give you complete control over arm positioning HEIGHT 4" - 9.5" range from top of seat Match any console or desk height WIDTH In/out from chair center Match your torso width ANGLE Rotates on mounting axis Fine-tune forearm angle ERGONOMIC PRINCIPLE: Proper arm support means your forearms rest comfortably at or slightly below elbow height, with shoulders relaxed in neutral position. The 3-axis adjustment lets you dial in this position exactly—not "close enough," but precisely where your body needs it. This is why professional chairs have extensive adjustment ranges while cheap furniture has fixed or limited adjustments. MEMORY FOAM + ULTRA LEATHER: BUILT FOR THE LONG HAUL Armrest padding isn't decorative. It's the interface between your forearms and the chair—and after eight hours of contact, that interface better be comfortable. Cheap foam compresses permanently after a few months. Vinyl covering cracks and peels. The Standard Arms use memory foam core with ultra leather covering specifically engineered for professional use. WHY MEMORY FOAM: Pressure distribution: Conforms to your forearm shape, distributing contact pressure evenly instead of creating hard points Shape retention: Returns to original form after compression—doesn't develop permanent dents or flat spots Temperature sensitivity: Softens slightly with body heat for enhanced conforming without feeling mushy Fatigue resistance: Maintains supportive properties through years of daily 8+ hour sessions Vibration dampening: Absorbs micro-vibrations and movement, creating stable forearm platform WHY ULTRA LEATHER: Abrasion resistance: Resists wear from daily forearm contact—won't pill, crack, or peel like vinyl Spill protection: Resistant to coffee, water, and other studio/stage liquids—wipes clean easily Breathability: Allows airflow to prevent sweaty forearms during long sessions or stage work Professional aesthetic: Maintains clean, professional appearance through years of use Chemical resistance: Won't degrade from skin oils, cleaning products, or environmental factors Easy maintenance: Simple wipe-down with damp cloth keeps arms looking new THE DIFFERENCE: Office chair arms use cheap foam that compresses flat in 6-12 months and vinyl that cracks in 2 years. Professional arms use memory foam that maintains shape for 5-10+ years and ultra leather that ages gracefully instead of failing catastrophically. The materials cost more because they last longer. STANDARD ARMS vs PADDLE ARMS: WHICH DO YOU NEED? Both are professional-grade. The difference is contact surface and use case. STANDARD vs PADDLE ARMS COMPARISON STANDARD ARMS PADDLE ARMS SURFACE AREA: Compact design Standard width profile SURFACE AREA: Extended surface 15" front-to-back, 6" wide BEST FOR: • Standard workstations • Compact spaces • Quick in/out movement • Default configuration BEST FOR: • Marathon sessions • Maximum comfort • Large consoles • Extended forearm support SUPPORT STYLE: Elbow/forearm contact point support SUPPORT STYLE: Full forearm surface contact support ADJUSTABILITY: Full 3-axis adjustment (height, width, angle) ADJUSTABILITY: Full 3-axis adjustment (height, width, angle) CHAIR WIDTH: Smaller overall footprint, easier to maneuver CHAIR WIDTH: Wider overall footprint, more workspace PRICE: Standard pricing (included with chairs) PRICE: Premium upgrade pricing SIMPLE DECISION: If you're working standard console or desk setups with typical session lengths (2-6 hours), Standard Arms provide excellent support. If you're doing marathon sessions (8-12+ hours), working at expansive consoles where you need to reach across large surfaces, or want maximum forearm comfort, upgrade to Paddle Arms. Both use the same adjustment mechanisms and mounting hardware—you can swap between them anytime. REMOVABLE DESIGN: FLEXIBILITY WHEN YOU NEED IT The ability to completely remove arms in seconds isn't a gimmick—it's essential functionality for professionals who work in different configurations. The star knob mounting system lets you unthread both arms, lift them away, and you've got an armless chair. Thread them back on when you need arm support again. WHEN TO REMOVE ARMS: Playing instruments: Guitar, bass, keyboards—arms get in the way of proper playing position Tight control rooms: Compact spaces where arm width interferes with console or desk placement Standing/perching work: Some engineers prefer armless when working from elevated positions Transport configuration: Remove arms to reduce chair footprint for road cases or tight vehicle loading Console overlap: Some large-format boards have armrests built into the console—chair arms would be redundant Personal preference: Some engineers simply prefer armless configuration for unrestricted movement Cleaning/maintenance: Remove arms for deep cleaning or chair servicing access INSTALLATION TIME: Removing or installing both arms takes less than 2 minutes. Loosen star knobs, lift arms away. To reinstall: align arms with mounting brackets, thread knobs back in, tighten. No tools. No permanent modifications. Just instant configuration change. This is how professional equipment should work. INSTALLATION & ADJUSTMENT GUIDE INSTALLING ARMS ON CHAIR 1 Locate the arm mounting brackets On the underside of your chair seat, you'll find two mounting brackets—one on each side. These are the receivers that the arm assemblies slide onto. Clean any debris from the mounting surfaces. 2 Slide arm assembly onto bracket Align the arm assembly's mounting track with the bracket. Slide the arm onto the bracket from the front of the chair toward the back. You'll feel it engage with the adjustment track. 3 Thread and tighten star knob Align the star knob with the threaded receiver under the arm assembly. Thread clockwise (righty-tighty) until hand-tight. The star grip gives you plenty of leverage—no tools needed, just firm finger pressure. 4 Repeat for second arm Install the second arm using the same process. Arms are handed (left/right) but the installation procedure is identical. Both arms should be secure and at similar heights initially—you'll dial in the exact positioning next. ADJUSTING ARMS FOR ERGONOMIC FIT 1 Set arm height Sit in the chair at your normal working position. Loosen the height adjustment mechanism (lever or knob depending on arm model) and raise/lower the arm until it supports your forearm at or slightly below elbow height. Your shoulders should remain relaxed and neutral. Lock the height adjustment. 2 Adjust arm width Loosen the star knob underneath the seat that controls arm width. Slide the arm in (toward chair center) or out (toward edge) until your forearms rest comfortably without forcing your shoulders wide or cramping them inward. Tighten the star knob. 3 Fine-tune angle if needed Some arm assemblies allow subtle rotation adjustment. If available, rotate the arm slightly forward or back to match your natural forearm angle when working. The goal is natural, unstressed positioning—your arms should feel supported, not forced into position. ERGONOMIC CHECK: Proper arm height means your forearms are parallel to the floor (or angled slightly down) when your hands are on the console/keyboard. Your shoulders should feel relaxed, not elevated or hunched. If you feel tension in your shoulders or upper back after adjusting, the arms are likely too high or positioned too wide. PROFESSIONAL USE CASES RECORDING ENGINEERS: Marathon sessions at large-format consoles demand proper arm support. Set Standard Arms at console surface height so your forearms rest naturally on both the armrests and the console's meter bridge. This dual support distributes load and reduces shoulder fatigue during 10+ hour sessions. MIXING ENGINEERS: In-the-box mixing means hours with hands on mouse and keyboard. Position arms slightly below desk height to support your forearms while mousing. Proper arm support prevents the "mousing shoulder"—that chronic tension from hours of unsupported arm movement. SESSION MUSICIANS: Remove arms completely when tracking—guitar, bass, keys all need unrestricted arm movement. Thread arms back on between takes for comfortable listening position. The 2-minute swap time makes this workflow practical instead of frustrating. MASTERING ENGINEERS: Critical listening requires zero physical distraction. Set arms at precise height to support forearms during detailed EQ and dynamics work. The memory foam prevents pressure points that could distract from the work. When you forget about your arms, you know they're positioned correctly. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Height Range: 4" - 9.5" (from seat top) Padding: Memory Foam Core Covering: Ultra Leather Upholstery Adjustment Axes: 3 (Height, Width, Angle) Mounting: Star Knob (Tool-Free) Color: Midnight Black Sold As: Pair (Left + Right) COMPATIBILITY: Compatible with all Stealth and ErgoLab chair models. These are genuine OEM replacement arms featuring the same memory foam padding, ultra leather upholstery, and precision adjustment mechanisms as factory-installed arms. Arms mount to standard Stealth/ErgoLab arm brackets using the included star knob mounting system. Note: Star knobs sold separately—most chairs already have knobs from previous arm installation. ARMS AS PROFESSIONAL EQUIPMENT Most chair manufacturers don't sell replacement arm assemblies. When your arms wear out or get damaged, they tell you to buy a whole new chair. That's absurd. The chair frame, seat mechanism, and ergonomic systems are still perfect—why replace a $750 chair because the $150 arms are worn? We stock replacement arms because professional equipment should be maintainable for decades. When components wear, you replace those components—not the entire chair. This is serviceability by design. These Standard Arms use the same memory foam, ultra leather, and adjustment mechanisms as your original equipment. We don't sell cheap replacements. We sell professional-grade components that match your chair's performance standards and maintain the ergonomic benefits that make Stealth Chairs work. This represents our core philosophy: professional equipment should be built to last, easy to maintain, and impossible to make obsolete. Worn arms after 5-10 years of daily use? Replace the arms. Damaged arms from tour transport? Replace the arms. Want to try Paddle Arms instead of Standard? Swap them. Your chair adapts to your needs instead of forcing you to adapt to its limitations.
