How to use

Secure the desk clamp to a stable surface of appropriate thickness and tighten according to the clamp’s instructions. Attach your microphone or shock mount to the arm’s threaded end, ensuring the connection is compatible and tightened correctly. Adjust the arm joints to position the microphone at the desired height and angle, then lock each joint to prevent movement. Route the microphone cable along the arm’s cable path to minimize strain and maintain a tidy setup.

Recommendations

Check the weight and mounting thread compatibility of your microphone before installation. When adjusting the arm, support the microphone with one hand while tightening joints to avoid sudden drops. Periodically inspect fastenings and cable routing for wear and re-tighten if necessary to maintain secure operation.
