1.Welcome to the Big Show!

Thank you for purchasing your very own SingThing! We’ve packed a lot of creative potential into this Thing, and we’re confident that you’ll enjoy exploring its many capabilities. SingThing is the definitive singer’s toolbox, loaded with effects, instrument inputs, and a premium lightweight powered speaker system that’s just as happy on your bedroom floor as the lighted stage. Your SingThing can help you to explore your creative voice, experiment with great sounding effects, and most importantly, have fun. Keep reading to find out how!

2. Line up the mic stand pole with the indents in the brackets.

3.Twist the speaker so the top rotates toward you and the bottom rotates toward the mic stand. This will lock the speaker into place and give the brackets a firm grip on the stand.

Quick Start Guide

If you haven’t read the Quick Start Guide that came in the box, please check it out now. It’ll show you how to get up and running with all the basic connections.

All set? Ok! Moving on…

2. Set Up – where should my SingThing live?

Step one: figure out where you’re going to put the SingThing. You’ve got a few options, depending on your situation.

Option 1: Mic Stand Mount

This is our preferred location. It’s nice and close-at-hand for adjustments and creates a great angle for crystal clear sound.

To mount SingThing to your mic stand:

1. Slide the mic stand pole in between the brackets on the back of the speaker.

4.That’s it! SingThing is now securely mounted to your mic stand and ready to rock!

Some mic stands have a thinner top post that’s too narrow for the brackets. If this is the case for you, the ideal mounting location for your

SingThing is directly on top of the “chuck”, or tightening mechanism, between your lower and upper mic stand sections.
