INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION

The DB-100 Desktop Microphone Boom Arm is a versatile mic boom that uses springs to provide support and ideal positioning for microphones up to 2.3 lb/ 1.0 kg. The desk clamp allows the DB-100 to easily attach to most desks and studio furniture. Additionally, the boom arm can rotate a full 360 degrees. Best of all, it makes for an efficient and clutter-free creative space.

Connect the clamp to the desk by hand-tightening.
Insert the boom arm into the clamp and hand-tighten the boom arm safety knob
Connect the microphone and accessories.
Use the included hook-and-loop ties to secure the mic’s cable, leaving a little slack in the cable so the arm can move freely.

ADJUSTING THE SETUP

Loosen the microphone angle adjustment knob. Once in the correct position, hand-tighten to lock.
The boom arm moves the mic higher and lower. Loosen the boom arm angle knob first, adjust the mic to the correct position, then hand-tighten to lock.
Next, hand-tighten the boom arm safety knob to lock the arm rotation.
Once completed, you are ready to record!
The mic may have to be adjusted before you find that perfect “sweet spot”. Simply follow the steps again.
