STEP ONE: INSTALL THE MOUNT ON A DRUM

1. Place the lower jaw of the mount under the drum rim as

shown in the following diagram.

STEP TWO: ATTACH A MICROPHONE TO THE MOUNT

After installing the mount onto the drum rim, follow these

instructions to attach a microphone:

1. Insert the thread adapter , slot side out, into the bottom of
the mic clip.

NOTE: The adapter also works with microphones that

have an integrated mic clip, such as the PG56 (pictured
below).

2. Screw the adapter clockwise until it is flush with the
bottom of the mic clip.

3. Position the mic clip over the mount’s thumbscrew. Turn
the thumbscrew clockwise until the mic clip is firmly
attached to the mount. NOTE: Do not over tighten.

4. Place a microphone in the clip.

5. To adjust the distance between the microphone and the
drum head, loosen the thumbscrew slightly and slide the
microphone up or down along the mount.

INSTALLING THE MOUNT

2. After securing the mount’s lower jaw, lift the mount up
until the groove in its upper lip clicks into place over the
top of the drum rim. Make sure the mount is clamped
securely over the top edge of the drum and under the
bottom flange of the drum rim.
