    Installation

    Mount the microphone using a flange or shock mount.

    Important: The dot on the microphone and TQG connector indicates which cartridge is connected to which connector. The included RK100PK phantom-powered preamps converts the TQG connector to an XLR output.

    A13HDB Flange:

    1. Mark and drill 3 starter holes for the screws using the flange as a template.
    2. Secure the flange to the mounting surface with screws.
    3. Thread the microphone clip to the flange, then mount the microphone to the clip.

      Note: Use the extension tube with the microphone clip and flange if desired.

    RPM640 Flange:

    1. Drill a 22 mm (7/8 in.) diameter hole in the mounting surface.
    2. Mark and drill 3 starter holes for the screws using the flange as a template.
    3. Insert the TQG connectors through the mounting flange.
    4. Slide the retaining ring over the bottom of the gooseneck base until is flush to the bottom of the flange, then press the ring firmly into place.
    5. Secure the flange to the mounting surface with screws.

    A400SM Shock Mount:

    1. Drill a 44 mm (1-3/4 in.) diameter hole in the mounting surface.
    2. Mark and drill 3 starter holes for the screws using the shock mount as a template.
    3. Secure the shock mount to the mounting surface with screws.
    4. Insert the TQG connectors through the hole, then insert the microphone base.
