Specifications subject to change without notice.

The MSM is a plug-in shock mount microphone base for desktop and count­er use. Its contemporary design is a complementing fixture for boardrooms,
conference rooms, pulpits, podiums, or newsrooms. It is ideal for use with
gooseneck microphones and other quick-mount types using XLR (male) type
connectors. The black-finish housing is made of lightweight ABS material. It
supports the XLR (female) type connector and the thick shock-absorbing
rubber cushion.

The MSM is easily screwed onto a flat surface with a maximum thickness of
3/4" providing maximum stability and excellent noise insulation,and vibration
handling for live miking situations.

The MSM allows convenient wiring with its flush-mounted XLR (female) con­nector.The signal appears across pin nos. 2 and 3 while the ground connec­tion is in pin no.

Figure shows typical connections for balanced microphones.
Check instructions for microphone actually being used to confirm
proper connections.

3. Mounting:

a. Remove the nuts and the washers from the shock mount base.

b. Mount the base on the intended surface.

c.Tighten the screws enough to ensure stability. Over tightening will suppress shock

absorbing capability of the rubber cushion.

4. Connecting/Removing a Microphone (shown with GDU150):

• Connecting - The outside diameter of the microphone connector’s housing
should not exceed 3/4", with its length 3/4" or longer.This is to ensure its com­plete and lock-tight connection with the flush-mounted XLR (female) connector
of the shock mount base.

• Removing - Pull out the microphone while pressing the release tab of the XLR
(female) connector of the shock mount base.
