Clamp Method
Compatible with 0.4” to 3.7” thick desktops
To attach the microphone arm along the edge
of your desktop, follow the Clamp Method
instructions (Step 2.A). Clamping the arm on the
edge of a desk or table is the simplest method,
but the Clamp can also t into grommet holes 
3.15” diameter or larger. 
Step 1 - Determine Your Mounting Method
There are two ways to attach the Clamp-On Microphone Arm to your desktop or table:
Step 2.A - Clamp Method
Base Attachment
A. Fit the Clamp Base Assembly onto the edge of the desk.
Round Base

Clamp Plate
Wing Nut
Bolt-Through Assembly

Wing Nut
B. Using the wing nut, tighten the Clamp Screw until the
Bottom Plate clamps rmly against the bottom of the 
desktop.
C. Skip the Bolt-Through Method steps and proceed with
Step 3.
1.75”
.4”
Bolt-Through Method
Compatible with 0.4” to 1.9” thick desktops
To attach the microphone arm through
your desktop, skip Step 2.A and follow the
Bolt-Through Method instructions (Step
2.B). The bolt-through mount can t into a 
hole between 0.4” - 1.75” in diameter located 
anywhere on the desktop.
Step 2B - Bolt-Through Method
Bolt-Through Hole Fit
A. The desktop must be between 0.4” and 1.9” 
thick and have a hole between 0.4” and 
1.75” in diameter to use this option. Using 
a grommet hole already in your desktop
is acceptable, or drill a hole anywhere on
the desktop, taking care to avoid frame
hardware underneath.
Clamp Assembly Removal
B. Remove the Clamp Assembly from
the Round Base. Using a Phillips head
screwdriver, remove the screw and
nut from inside the Round Base to
separate it from the Clamp Assembly
as shown.

Clamp Assembly
C. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, remove the
screw and washer to separate the Clamp Plate
from Clamp Screw assembly.
Creating a Hole (if needed)
D. If you need to create a hole in your desktop:

Assembly
1. Determine the location you would like to mount
the Microphone Arm, and ensure it is located at
least 2 ½” from the edge of the desktop.
2. Make sure there is not any interference with
the desk frame or other accessories below the
desktop where you intend to drill your hole.
3. Use a drill and drill bit to create the hole in the
desktop. We recommend using a ⅜” drill bit, 
but any hole between 0.38” and 1.75” in diameter 
will work.

Step 3 - Arm Attachment
A. Place the Bushing onto the Round Base as shown,
aligning the three posts of the Bushing with three of
the six holes on top of the Round Base.
B. Make sure the black plastic sleeve is in place over
the post at the end of the Microphone Arm.
C. Insert the Microphone Arm post and plastic sleeve
into the large hole in the top of the Round Base.
Assembling the Base
E. Insert the Base Plate into the slot at the bottom of the
Round Base.
F. Insert the Bolt-Through Clamp Screw through the top of
the Round Base and through the hole in the Base Plate.
G. Insert the Bolt-Through Clamp Screw through the hole in
the desktop.
H. From beneath the desktop, slide the Clamp Plate onto the
Bolt-Through Clamp Screw in the orientation shown and
then thread the included Wing Nut onto the end of the
Clamp Screw.
I. Clamp the base to the desktop by tightening the Wing
Nut and Clamp Plate securely.
Step 4 - Microphone Attachment with
Optional Ball Joint Adapter
The included Ball Joint Adapter allows for additional
adjustment for the microphone when attached. If
you prefer to attach the optional Ball Joint Adapter,
follow these instructions to attach your microphone.
Otherwise, skip to Step 6.
A. If not already installed, thread the Knurled Lock Nut
all the way onto the ⅜” threaded stem at the end of 
the Microphone Arm until it stops.

Step 5 - Ball Joint Adapter Adjustment
A. Once your microphone is installed on the Ball Joint
Adapter, hold it in your preferred position with one
hand and tighten the wing nut on the Ball Joint
Adapter to keep the microphone in place.
B. Use the Allen Wrench to tighten the set screw to
further lock the microphone position in place. If
you plan to regularly adjust the position of the
microphone on the Ball Joint Adapter, do not tighten
the set screw.
1. If your microphone requires a ⅜” threaded stem 
for mounting, thread the microphone onto the ⅜” 
threaded stem at the end of the Ball Joint Adapter.
B. Thread the Ball Joint Adapter onto the ⅜” threaded 
stem at the end of the Microphone Arm until there
is a gap of approximately 1/16” between the Knurled 
Lock Nut and the Ball Joint Adapter.

C. Adjust the Knurled Lock Nut so it is tight against
the Ball Joint Adapter to keep it from moving.
D. Determine if your microphone requires a ⅜” or ⅝” 
threaded stem for attachment.
E. Ensure the microphone is tight on the ⅜” threaded 
stem.
2. If your microphone requires a ⅝” threaded stem, 
rst thread the ⅝” Thread Adapter securely into 
your microphone. We recommend using a coin
such as a nickel or quarter to tighten the adapter
by inserting it into the slot on the large end of the
adapter and twisting clockwise. Next, thread the
microphone with ⅝” Thread Adapter onto the ⅜” 
threaded stem on the Ball Joint Adapter.

C. If a ⅝” threaded stem is required, install the ⅝” 
Threaded Adapter into the microphone and tighten.
D. We recommend using a coin such as a nickel or
quarter to tighten the adapter by inserting it into
the slot on the large end of the adapter and twisting
clockwise.
E. Thread the microphone onto the ⅜” threaded stem 
at the end of the Microphone Arm until there is a gap
of about 1/16” between the Knurled Lock Nut and the 
microphone or the ⅝” Threaded Adapter.
F. Ensure the microphone controls are facing the way
you prefer them for access and turn the Knurled
Lock Nut so it is tight against the microphone,
locking it in place.

Step 7 - Wire Management
Tuck your microphone cable into the integrated, soft
rubber channel guides along the back side of the
Microphone Arm. Keep slack in the cable to allow for
any repositioning of the arm.
Step 8 - Arm Adjustments
A. To balance your microphone and arm, adjust
the spring tension screw found below
the base as shown with a Phillips head
screwdriver.
B. To adjust the angles of the arm segments,
turn the knobs located at each joint
counter-clockwise to loosen the joint. Move
the arm segment to the desired position
and then turn the knob clockwise to tighten
and lock it in place.
1. If the arm rises on its own with the
microphone attached, turn the screw
counter-clockwise until the arm stays in
place after it is positioned.
2. If the arm drops on its own with the
microphone attached, turn the screw
clockwise until the arm stays in place
after it is positioned.
