Steps to assemble stand and microphone:

2. Position the clip vertically and screw onto the stand, tighten;
3. Connect the USB microphone cable to the microphone;
4. Slide the microphone into the clip and point microphone straight up
(see section ‘Positioning the Microphone’ for more information).
How does PBK do what it does?
The process starts when a test signal is sent from your computer
to the subwoofer and the signal is picked up by the individually
calibrated microphone. The system puts the subwoofer through a
frequency sweep to highlight problem areas and determine
necessary adjustments. It asks you to position the microphone in
at least 5 different locations. Configurations are then saved on
the connected PC. The optimized solutions are calculated, then
uploaded to the subwoofer and the calculated room corrections
are put in place.
