6 Installation & Connections
3. INSTALLATION
Your SM ProAudio SM MC03 was carefully packed in the factory and the packaging was
designed to protect the unit from rough handling. Nevertheless, we recommend that you carefully
examine the packaging and its contents for any signs of physical damage, which may have
occurred in transit.
+ If the unit is damaged, please do not return it to us, but notify your dealer and the shipping
company immediately, otherwise claims for damage or replacement may not be granted.
Shipping claims must be made by the consignee.
Your SM MC03 comes bundled with:
• SM MC03 large diaphragm valve/tube condenser microphone.
• Lockable flight case to provide maximum protection for your microphone
• Dedicated power supply.
• 7 pin cable to connect to your SM MC03 to the dedicated power supply.
• Elastic suspension shock-mount to prevent transmission of vibrations through the microphone
stand.
• Spare suspension elastic for shockmount assembly.
3.1 Mounting the microphone into the shockmount and boom stand
The use of the Shock Mount will reduce the risk of floor-borne vibrations being picked up when
critical recordings are being made.
You will notice that there is a small threaded hole on an adjustable mounting clip fixed to the side
of the shockmount assembly. This is where you can connect to any standard boom stand. Screw
the shockmount to the boom stand firmly.
Place the base of the microphone into the shockmounts’ bottom centre hole, and screw in a
clockwise direction to secure. You will see that by screwing the threaded locking nut of the cable
to the threaded base of the microphone, the microphone is now seated firmly in its mount.
