The ProCast Mio can be mounted on the optional SMS-Mio shockmount, which you can use to greatly 
reduce any noise transmitted through the mic stand. The shockmount is especially useful in reducing the 
problems caused by a boomy soundstage, for example when miking overhead cymbals, or even in the 
studio with talent that likes to move a lot on a floor that may not be as solid as it should be..
•   To use the ProCast Mio with its shockmount, screw the 

shockmount on a solid mic stand. If you are using a US 
standard 5/8-inch mic stand, remove the Euro adapter 
by unscrewing it from the shockmount.

•   Once the shockmount is mounted to the stand, line 

up the bottom threaded section of the ProCast Mio to 
the holder and slowly rotate the bottom thumbscrew 
clockwise until it screws on hand tight. Be careful not 
to cross thread the screws.  

•   You can loosen the bottom thumbscrew slightly to 

make left and right adjustments to the mic, and then 
re-tighten it once it’s in place.

•   Loosen the thumbscrew to set the microphone angle 

and then tighten once it’s in place.
