CONNECTING A MICROPHONE

Microphones can be connected to Compass via a shock mount, microphone clip or internal threads

(if available on the mic). Compass supports shock mounts and mic clips with 3/8” threading,

or 5/8” via the included adapter. Microphones can be connected facing up,

or suspended upside down from Compass. To connect your microphone:

Screw your microphone’s

shockmount or mic clip

onto Compass so that

it is ﬁrm and secure.

Connect your microphone

cable to the mic, open the

snaps along the top side

of the boom arm tubes

and tuck the microphone

cable into the

hidden channel

Connect the microphone

to the shockmount

or mic clip.

Close the snaps over

the cable inside the

hidden cable channel.

Insert Compass into

the desktop C-Clamp

from step 3 above.

Adjust Compass so that it makes a

90-degree angle at the middle pivot

point. Conﬁrm that the microphone

balances in the 90-degree position and

you can smoothly move it into the desired

position as necessary. If you have the

boom arm fully extended, you may need

to tighten the thumbscrew at the base of

the boom arm near the C-Clamp.
