What’s in the box?

Install microphone stand on table

1. Screw the lower part of the C-clamp until it is tight and secure.
2. Insert the desktop boom arm into the hole
3. Fasten the screw
4. Fix shock mount with desktop boom arm

Note: DON’T rotates the boom arm when the screw on the C- clamp is tightened. Loose the screw first, adjust the position of the arm, and then tighten it.
Mount to your desktop via the included C-clamp accurately: Unscrew the C-clamp and slide it over the side of your desktop, making sure that both the top of the C-clamp and the underside are resting on flat surfaces. Overly rounded or overhanging desktop edges do not make good mounting surfaces.

Installation Quick Guide

1. Connect the microphone to the shock mount.
2. The side of the shock mount with the rubber pad should be up.
3. Using the included pop filter could filter out the harsh “p”, “t”, and “b” sounds and improve the sound quality.
4. Tightly plug the provided USB cable into the USB output at the bottom of the microphone. Plug the USB A connector OR USB C connector into the USB port of your computer. It depends on what kind of available USB ports there are on your computer.
5. Always keep the front of the mic (the side with “ ” logo) facing the sound source. Do not speak or sing facing the rear of the mic (the side with the headphone jack).
6. Keep the volume all the way down when plugging the mic into the USB port, and gradually turn the volume up for the perfect effect during use.
