MODE OF OPERATION

The microphone arm works perfectly as result of the 
interaction between 3 factors. 
1. Microphone weight - 2. Spring tension - 3. Tight fit of the wing nuts 

4

- Without the microphone and when the wing nuts are not tightened the arm

-

returns to its original position through the tension of the spring (vertical position).

- The weight of the microphone acts as a counterweight to the spring, such that 

-

the arm can be placed in the desired position.

- To ensure that the microphone stays in the desired position, the wing nuts 

4

are tightened (do 

-

not over-tighten) - tighten only to the point that the arm does not move by itself. 

- Correctly set, the microphone arm can be pulled and pushed to any possible position -

-

without having to constantly reset the wing nuts.

1. Clamp the table clamp 

1

onto the table (max. 52 mm)

2. Place the microphone arm pin 

3

into the

opening of the table clamp and

3. Select the connector threading
