INSTALLATION

OPERATING MODE

TECHNICAL DATA

1

 Screw the clamp to the panel 

2

 Insert the rod of the microphone arm into the opening  

2

 of the clamp and adjust the direction of the arm 

2.a

 Secure this position by tightening the knurled screw 

3

 Select threaded connection (3/8", 5/8") and attach microphone  

4

 Set the microphone arm as described in OPERATING MODE

The proper functioning of the microphone arm is based on the 
interaction of three factors.  
A. MICROPHONE WEIGHT 
B. SPRING TENSION   
C. STRENGTH OF KNURLED NUTS 

6

 

5

 Without microphone and loosen knurled nuts the arms point  

5

 towards the ceiling - this is due to the spring preload.  

5

 - The load of the microphone counteracts the spring preload,   

5

 

-

 so that the arm more or less exactly meets the desired  

5

 

-

 position. 

5

 - This mechanism works best with microphones with the nominal  

5

 

-

 load of nearly 0.8 kg. This load acts on the spring preload, so  

5

 

-

 that almost any possible position can be reached. 

6

 In order for the microphone to maintain the intended position,  

6

 tighten slightly the three knurled nuts - only to much so as to  

6

 prevent the arms from moving independently.  

7

 If the balance is correct, the microphone arm can be moved in  

7

 several desired positions - avoiding the screwing and unscrewing  

7

 of the knurled nuts

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

- Ensure a suitable support in terms of size (panels 10-51 mm,  

-

 tube ø 15-51 mm), texture and surface.   

- The table clamp 

1

 must be firmly fixed.

BEWARE OF UNCONTROLLED MOVEMENTS

 

- In an unloaded condition, the springs pulls up 

5

 the arms of  

-

 the Microphone holder (= starting position). 

- In order to avoid this uncontrolled movement, the following  

-

 measures must be taken before removing the microphone  

-

 respectively before loosening the knurled nuts 

6

 hold the  

-

 microphone arm 

4

 with your hand or bring in initial position.  

- The tightening of the three knurled nuts 

6

 at the joints of the  

-

 Microphone is NOT sufficient to avoid this uncontrolled  

-

 movement since the spring force is too strong.
