US Patent #9992569
Assembly & Care
Assembly Instructions:
•
Screw the two threaded rods into the aluminum frame. The end of the rod with the hex should be flush
with the face of the frame that has the countersunk holes at the bottom. Tighten the two jam nuts
against the aluminum frame.
•
Thread an omnidirectional lavaliere microphone through the center hole of the aluminum plate, place
the microphone cable on the lower support arm, and then rotate the upper support arm down against
the lower arm, capturing the cable within the center hole that is created.
•
Push the microphone into the support arms until it is seated against the two support arms.
•
Move the support arms until the center of the pickup pattern is
1-1/8” behind the face of the yoke plate
that faces the dish
. Tighten the plastic jam nuts against the support arms to lock them in place. (Use the
square flange on the bottom of the dish, which is 1-1/8” wide, as a focusing aide.)
•
Optional Setup - If a stronger signal is desired, a second microphone can be installed, face to face with
the first one, using a second set of mounting arms. (Using two microphones provides a fuller sound with
a pseudo stereo effect.) There should be a small (~ 1/8”) gap between the two microphone elements and
their position should be adjusted so the center of the gap between the two microphones is 1-1/8” behind
the face of the aluminum plate.
•
Place the dish on the frame over the microphone and mount with three thumb screws. (Zip tie the
microphone cable to the frame along an appropriate path.)
•
Install the mounting adapter.
o
Flash Shoe Adapter (Optional) - Thread the cold shoe adapter into the adapter mount (aluminum
block), align the adapter so the frame is perpendicular to the cold shoe foot (and the camera) and
tighten the locking ring.
o
Shotgun Adapter - The cold shoe adapter mount (aluminum block) can be replaced with the
cylindrical plastic rod in order to mount the KM-09 where a shotgun microphone would normally be
mounted.
