PADDED PADDLE ARMS (PAIR)

Extended surface design • 15" × 6" paddle shape • Premium black leather • Memory foam core • Marathon session comfort

MAXIMUM FOREARM SUPPORT FOR EXTENDED SESSIONS

The Padded Paddle Arms represent the ultimate arm support upgrade for professionals who live at the console. While standard arms provide excellent point support at the elbow, Paddle Arms deliver something entirely different: continuous forearm contact across a 15-inch surface. This isn't just more padding—it's a fundamentally different support philosophy designed for the reality of 10, 12, 15-hour sessions where your arms never leave the work surface.

WHAT PADDLE ARMS DELIVER:

15" Front-to-Back Surface: Full forearm contact from elbow to wrist—not just elbow support, but continuous pressure distribution across your entire forearm

Paddle Shape Design (6" Wide): Tapers from 6" at the elbow to 3" at the front—matches your natural forearm taper for optimal contact

Premium Memory Foam Core: Thicker padding than Standard Arms, distributed across the extended surface for pressure-free marathon sessions

Black Leather Upholstery: Professional-grade leather that resists spills, wear, and the abuse of daily studio/stage work

Full 3-Axis Adjustment: Same precision height (4"-9.5"), width, and angle adjustment as Standard Arms—but with dramatically increased support surface

Tool-Free Removal: Unthread star knobs to remove arms completely for instrument work or tight spaces, then reinstall in under 2 minutes

Here's the reality of long-format work: when you're 8 hours into a marathon mix, your forearms are carrying serious fatigue load. Standard arms support your elbows brilliantly—but when you're reaching across a large-format console, moving between fader groups, riding automation for hours, your forearms need continuous support from elbow to wrist. That's exactly what Paddle Arms provide. The extended 15" surface means your entire forearm stays supported regardless of your hand position or reach distance.

WHEN YOU NEED PADDLE ARMS:

Marathon sessions (8-15+ hours): Extended surface prevents forearm fatigue during all-day/all-night work
Large-format consoles: Reaching across expansive control surfaces benefits from full forearm support
Maximum comfort priority: When arm support is mission-critical and you want the absolute best
Chronic arm/shoulder issues: Distributing load across entire forearm reduces strain on problem areas
Computer workstation marathons: Extended mousing/keyboard work with arms constantly reaching forward
Multiple work positions: Wide surface supports your arms regardless of lean angle or console reach distance
Premium upgrade: You want the best possible arm support money can buy for your Stealth Chair

The Paddle Arms are genuine OEM premium upgrades—not aftermarket accessories. This is the same arm design we install on high-end custom orders for major studios and touring professionals. They feature precision adjustment mechanisms, extended memory foam cores that maintain shape through years of abuse, and professional-grade leather that ages gracefully instead of cracking or peeling. This is what separates professional equipment from office furniture.

THE PADDLE ADVANTAGE: SURFACE AREA COMPARISON

More surface area means better pressure distribution and reduced fatigue over marathon sessions

STANDARD ARM

Compact design
Point support at elbow

PADDLE ARM

Extended paddle design
Full forearm contact

THE PHYSICS: Pressure equals force divided by area. When you rest your arm on a standard armrest, the contact force concentrates at your elbow point. When you rest your arm on a Paddle Arm's 15" × 6" surface, that same force distributes across nearly 3× the surface area. The result? Significantly reduced pressure per square inch, which translates directly to reduced fatigue and discomfort during marathon sessions. This isn't marketing—it's basic biomechanics.

WHY THE PADDLE SHAPE? BIOMECHANICS + REALITY

The paddle shape isn't aesthetic—it's engineered to match your forearm's natural taper and the reality of console work. Your forearm is widest at the elbow and narrows toward the wrist. A rectangular armrest either overshoots at the wrist (wasted material) or undershoots at the elbow (inadequate support). The paddle design addresses both: 6 inches wide at the elbow for maximum elbow support, tapering to 3 inches at the front for wrist clearance.

PADDLE SHAPE ADVANTAGES:

Wide elbow support (6"): Maximum contact area where your arm carries the most weight—prevents elbow pressure points
Tapered front (3"): Narrows at the wrist for unrestricted hand movement and console access
15" length: Continuous support from elbow to wrist regardless of forearm angle or console reach
Natural forearm contour: Matches your arm's biological taper instead of fighting it with a rectangular shape
Console clearance: Wide back, narrow front means your arms clear faders, knobs, and meters without interference
Reach versatility: Extended surface supports your arm whether reaching near or far across the work surface

REAL-WORLD TESTING:
The paddle shape was developed through thousands of hours of field testing with recording engineers, mix engineers, and FOH professionals working on SSL, Neve, API, and other large-format consoles. The 15" × 6" → 3" taper emerged as the optimal compromise between maximum support, console clearance, and natural biomechanics. This isn't theory. This is what actually works after years of professional use.

PREMIUM MATERIALS: THICKER FOAM, BETTER LEATHER

Extended surface demands premium materials—we don't cut corners on comfort

MEMORY FOAM CORE

Thicker than Standard Arms for extended surface comfort
Shape memory technology returns to original form after compression
Temperature-reactive softens with body heat for custom contouring
Pressure distribution eliminates hard contact points
5-10 year life span under professional daily use

BLACK LEATHER

Professional-grade leather resists cracking and peeling
Spill resistant wipes clean from coffee, water, beverages
Breathable construction prevents sweaty forearms
Abrasion resistant withstands daily forearm contact
Ages gracefully develops character instead of failing

MATERIAL COST VS. LONGEVITY: Cheap office chair arms use low-density foam that compresses flat in 6-12 months and vinyl covering that cracks after 18-24 months. Paddle Arms use high-density memory foam rated for 5-10+ years and premium leather that lasts decades. Yes, the materials cost significantly more. But when you calculate cost per hour of use over 5-10 years, premium materials are actually cheaper than replacing cheap components every year. This is how professionals think about equipment investment.

PADDLE vs STANDARD ARMS: MAKING THE RIGHT CHOICE

Both are professional-grade. The difference is surface area, session length, and budget.

THE SIMPLE DECISION FRAMEWORK:
If you regularly work 8+ hour sessions, operate large-format consoles, or simply want the absolute best arm support available, choose Paddle Arms. If you work standard sessions at compact workstations and want excellent ergonomic support at default pricing, Standard Arms are outstanding. Both use identical adjustment mechanisms and can be swapped anytime—you're not locked into your choice forever.

UPGRADE PATH: Many professionals start with Standard Arms and upgrade to Paddle Arms later when they realize how much time they spend at the console. That's completely valid. The arms use the same mounting system—swapping takes 5 minutes. Start with Standard, upgrade to Paddle when your work demands it. Or if you know you're doing marathon sessions, skip Standard entirely and go straight to Paddle. Either approach works.

INSTALLATION & ERGONOMIC ADJUSTMENT

Paddle Arms install identically to Standard Arms—same mounting system, same adjustment procedure

INSTALLATION STEPS (TOOL-FREE)

1

Locate arm mounting brackets under seat

Flip your chair or look under the seat edge—you'll see two metal mounting brackets (one left, one right). Clean any dust or debris from the mounting surfaces.

2

Align and slide arm assembly onto bracket

Match the arm's mounting track with the bracket rail. Slide the Paddle Arm onto the bracket from front to back until it seats fully. You'll feel it engage with the adjustment mechanism.

3

Thread star knob to secure arm

Locate the star knob under the arm assembly. Thread it clockwise (righty-tighty) into the threaded receiver until hand-tight. The star grip provides excellent leverage—no tools required, just firm finger pressure.

4

Install second arm and proceed to adjustment

Repeat the process for the second Paddle Arm. Arms are handed (left/right) so install the correct arm on each side. Total installation time: under 2 minutes for both arms.

ERGONOMIC ADJUSTMENT FOR PADDLE ARMS

1

Set arm height for forearm support

Sit in your normal working position at the console. Loosen the height adjustment mechanism and raise/lower the Paddle Arm until your entire forearm rests comfortably on the padded surface from elbow to wrist. Your shoulders should remain relaxed and neutral—not elevated or hunched. Lock the height adjustment when positioned correctly.

2

Adjust arm width for natural spacing

Loosen the star knob underneath that controls width adjustment. Slide the Paddle Arm in (toward center) or out (toward edge) until your forearms rest naturally without forcing your shoulders wide or cramping them inward. With Paddle Arms, width adjustment is especially critical since the extended surface needs proper positioning to support your full forearm length. Tighten star knob when positioned.

3

Fine-tune angle for console reach

If your arm assembly allows rotation adjustment, angle the Paddle Arm slightly forward or back to match your natural forearm angle when reaching across the console. The 15" paddle surface should support your forearm regardless of whether you're reaching near faders or far meters. The goal: continuous support across all working positions.

PADDLE ARM ERGONOMIC CHECK:
Proper adjustment means your entire forearm—from elbow to wrist—contacts the padded surface when your hands are working at the console. You should feel continuous support along your forearm's length, not just at the elbow. If you only feel elbow contact, the arms may be positioned too low or too far from your torso. If your wrists feel unsupported, the arms may be too high or angled incorrectly. Perfect fit = forget the arms exist and focus on the work.

REAL-WORLD PROFESSIONAL APPLICATIONS

MARATHON MIXING SESSIONS:

You're 10 hours into a mix that needs to be finished by morning. Your Standard Arms supported your elbows brilliantly for the first 6 hours, but now your forearms are fatigued from constantly reaching across the SSL. Paddle Arms would have distributed that load across your entire forearm, preventing the fatigue accumulation. When sessions regularly run 10-15+ hours, the extended surface makes the difference between finishing strong and fighting pain for the last 4 hours.

LARGE-FORMAT CONSOLE WORK:

Recording on an SSL 9000 or Neve 88RS means your arms are constantly reaching across 4-6 feet of control surface. Standard arms support your elbows, but as you reach toward far channel strips, your forearms lose support and your shoulders carry the load. Paddle Arms' 15" surface supports your forearms regardless of reach distance—whether you're riding faders at the near edge or tweaking EQ on far channels. The extended surface stays with you across the entire working range.

IN-THE-BOX MIXING MARATHONS:

Mouse work is brutal on forearms—you're making hundreds of micro-movements per hour, and your mousing arm never fully rests. Paddle Arms turn your armrest into a forearm platform that supports your entire arm from elbow to wrist while your hand works the mouse. Instead of your shoulder supporting your arm weight plus movement forces, the paddle surface carries the load. After 8 hours of automation riding and plugin tweaking, this makes a massive difference.

FOH & MONITOR ENGINEERING:

Festival FOH positions mean 8-12 hour days at digital consoles, often in less-than-ideal seating conditions. Paddle Arms give you a stable forearm platform regardless of stage height, console height, or ground conditions. When you're mixing in a tent on uneven ground or at varying heights across a festival run, having extended forearm support creates consistency and reduces the cumulative fatigue of adapting to different environments night after night.

MASTERING & CRITICAL LISTENING:

Mastering demands absolute physical comfort so you can focus 100% on critical listening decisions. Any forearm pressure, arm fatigue, or shoulder tension becomes a distraction from the subtle EQ and dynamics moves you're making. Paddle Arms eliminate forearm awareness entirely—the extended surface distributes pressure so evenly that you forget about your arms and sink completely into the listening. When you're making decisions that will define how the record sounds forever, eliminating physical distraction isn't luxury—it's necessity.

Note: Star knobs typically included with your chair from previous arm installation. Additional knobs available separately if needed.

THE PREMIUM UPGRADE: WORTH THE INVESTMENT?

Let's be direct: Paddle Arms cost more than Standard Arms. The extended surface requires more memory foam, more leather, and more manufacturing precision. The question isn't "do they cost more"—it's "are they worth more to your specific work reality?"

VALUE CALCULATION FOR MARATHON SESSIONS:

If you work 10+ hour sessions even twice a week, the cumulative fatigue reduction over a year is massive. Reduced shoulder tension, less forearm fatigue, better focus in hour 12 when critical decisions happen—these aren't small improvements. They're the difference between finishing strong and fighting through pain. Over 5-10 years of professional use, the cost-per-session of premium arm support is negligible compared to the performance benefits.

Here's another way to think about it: Most engineers spend $300-500 on premium headphones for critical listening. You use those headphones maybe 20-40% of your session time. Your arms are in contact with armrests 100% of your session time. If premium headphones are worth the investment for better listening, premium arm support is worth the investment for better ergonomics. The math isn't complicated.

THE SIMPLE TRUTH: If you work standard 4-6 hour sessions at compact desks, Standard Arms are excellent and the Paddle upgrade isn't necessary. If you work marathon sessions, large consoles, or have chronic arm/shoulder issues, Paddle Arms aren't a luxury—they're professional equipment that directly improves your ability to do great work without physical limitations. Choose based on your actual work demands, not arbitrary budget constraints.

SEE THE DIFFERENCE IN ACTION

Watch how ZenWave™ motion technology supports your body in real working positions

CRITICAL SPECS & WHY THEY MATTER

MIDNIGHT BLACK NON-REFLECTIVE

Powder-coated finish

Why it matters: Stage lights, camera rigs, and console monitors won't catch reflections from your chair. Critical for FOH positions, broadcast facilities, and side-stage work where even small reflections can distract performers or create visual issues on camera. This isn't about aesthetics—it's about professional invisibility.

HIGH-STRENGTH FIBER-REINFORCED FRAME

Aerospace-grade materials

Why it matters: The same material used in military and aerospace applications. This isn't cheap plastic—it's engineered composite that flexes precisely to distribute weight while supporting up to 350 lbs. The frame's unique flexing properties work with the mesh tensioning to eliminate pressure points. This technology is what makes the ZenWave™ motion possible.

VARIABLE TENSION MESH SYSTEM

Zone-specific engineering

Why it matters: Not all mesh is created equal. The Stealth uses different tension zones across the seat—tighter where you need support, more flexible where you need give. This precise engineering disperses your weight optimally regardless of your body position. Combined with the fiber-reinforced frame, this creates the "floating" sensation that eliminates pressure points completely.

ACTIVE TILT™ SEAT PLATE

Patented pivot mechanism

Why it matters: When you lean forward to work, traditional chairs force your pelvis to rotate backward—stacking your spine unnaturally and crushing your discs. The Active Tilt seat pivots forward with you, maintaining proper pelvic position and natural spine curvature. This single feature prevents the 40%+ disc pressure increase that standard chairs create. You can lean into marathon sessions without cumulative damage.

PATENTED ZENWAVE™ MOTION TECHNOLOGY

The patented ZenWave™ motion provides unbinding, stress-free support as you lean forward naturally, protecting your lower back from further injury. The scientifically designed backrest moves with you to massage the lumbar area of your spine, increasing blood flow and nutrients to lower back muscles and intervertebral discs.

LIKE FLOATING ON WATER

The patented ZenWave™ motion technology allows you to float forward and backward without harmful pressure. Your body's natural movements are supported, not restricted.

ALIGN YOUR SPINE

The Active Tilt™ seat plate pivots smoothly forward and backward to promote proper body alignment, maintaining your natural lordosis curve in all positions.

FEEL SUPPORTED

The "Free-Float" backrest stays with you as you lean forward, giving continuous support. Unlike static backrests that abandon you when you work.

EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT

Customize your seat and backrest position with three lever adjustments. Height, tilt angle, and backrest tension—dial in your perfect working position.

BREATHE EASY

Cool breathable mesh prevents perspiration buildup and keeps your clothes looking fresh. No more sweat-soaked shirts during marathon sessions.

MASSAGE & HEALING

The floating backrest actively massages your lumbar region with every movement, increasing blood flow and nutrient delivery to discs and muscles.

THE CONVEX-SHAPED FLOATING BACKREST

Most backrests are concave—curved inward. This creates pressure points and forces unnatural posture. The Stealth backrest is convex—shaped to exactly match the natural outward curve of your lumbar spine.

Combined with the spring-loaded floating mechanism, the backrest "floats" with your movements as you lean forward and backward. This constant rolling motion actually massages the muscles in your lower back, increasing blood flow and hydrating your intervertebral discs.

The result? Your back muscles stay refreshed even during extended work sessions. Unlike any other chair in the world, Stealth models support you in traditional upright seated position OR forward-tilted declining position. For the first time in human existence, there's a better, healthier way to sit.

The convex shape matches your spine's natural curve, eliminating pressure points and providing continuous massage with every movement

ABOUT STEALTH

ABOUT STEALTH CHAIRS

Almost 40 years of engineering excellence • Trusted by the world's top studios, tours, and venues

THE PROBLEM EVERY ENGINEER FACES

Here's something they don't teach you in audio school: the wrong chair will end your career faster than bad monitoring.

Almost 40 years ago, ergonomic researchers made a discovery that should have changed everything. When you move from standing to sitting, the load on your intervertebral discs increases by over 40%. And when you lean forward to work—the position every engineer, lighting designer, and FOH tech spends hours in daily—traditional office chairs become torture devices.

"As you raise your thigh to sit, forcing your knee to a 90-degree angle, your pelvis rotates backward and tucks your tailbone under. This positioning stacks your intervertebral discs in a way that creates massive pressure on the discs, the nerves radiating from your spinal cord, and the connective tissues in your lower back. This isn't discomfort—it's cumulative trauma disorder. The kind of chronic back pain that ends careers."

— Ergonomic Research, 1985

Standard office chairs are designed for people who lean back and rest. You don't rest. You work. You lean forward over consoles. You reach for faders. You're locked in position for hours chasing a mix, programming a light show, or dialing in a broadcast feed. Every minute in the wrong chair compounds the damage.

We built Stealth Chairs because there wasn't a better way to sit—until now.

WHO WE ARE

ErgoLab has been an industry leader in ergonomically correct chair design and manufacturing for nearly four decades. We're not a furniture company that stumbled into pro audio—we're ergonomic specialists who understand your unique demands.

People are different. Not profound, but most chair manufacturers overlook this. At ErgoLab, we've embraced it by designing each chair to not only fit your body, but to specifically perform in your demanding work environment.

WHY WE EXIST

Sit in a Stealth Chair for any length of time and you'll realize it's like nothing you've sat in before. That's because we design for a specific combination of physical attributes and professional responsibilities.

Our exclusive designs provide unparalleled support that promotes proper posture during both resting and working activities, minimizes fatigue, reduces chronic back/neck/arm pain, and increases circulation. All of which help you perform at your best.

THE SCIENCE: PATENTED ZENWAVE™ TECHNOLOGY

Using patented technology, we designed a chair that allows you to maintain the natural lordosis curve in your lower back while leaning forward—something impossible with traditional chairs.

The secret? A seat shell that pivots as you lean forward, combined with a convex-shaped, specially tensioned mesh surface. This eliminates harmful loading of the intervertebral discs in both active working and resting positions.

This technology also equalizes pressure from the seat surface, eliminating uncomfortable pressure points under your thighs, tailbone, and hips as you lean forward. You'll feel like you're floating.

THE FLOATING BACKREST THAT WORKS WITH YOU

While most backrests are designed with a concave shape (which creates pressure points), our backrest is shaped to exactly match the convex lumbar curve of your lower back. Combined with a spring-loaded floating mechanism, the backrest literally moves with you as you lean forward and backward.

Here's what makes this revolutionary:

The floating motion constantly rolls up and down your back, actually massaging the muscles to increase blood flow and hydration of the intervertebral discs. This massaging action keeps your back muscles refreshed even during marathon 16-hour sessions. Your back gets better as the day goes on, not worse.

Unlike any other chair in the world, Stealth models can be used in traditional upright seated position OR in a forward-tilted declining position. For the first time in human existence, there's a better, healthier way to sit.

For shipping, we commonly use UPS and have a standard rate of $99 to cover all costs of shipping in the USA. This allows us to ship daily from our facility to you in a timely manner and update your order accordingly.

On some larger orders, it may require custom freight or pallet-based shipping. We will work with our vendors to find the best available rate on shipping and or split an order to get it to you in a timely fashion and or reduce cost.
