The clutch mechanism utilizes synthetic fiber washers for frictional control and requires no
maintenance or lubrication. Turning the handle clockwise increases the clutching force; turning
the handle counterclockwise relaxes the force. Tighten the mechanism only enough to hold the
microphone firmly in place. Over-tightening is not necessary or recommended
!
The vertical positioning assembly supports the outer frame of the Sling-Shock. The outer frame
supports the tensioning components that are connected to the actual microphone holder. Heavy
duty, non-resonant nylon cords provide the support system for the microphone holder and are
held in place by clamps which are adjustable. Dampened steel springs provide tension for the
cords, which in turn support the microphone holder. The springs require no maintenance.
!
Cord tension is pre-adjusted at the factory and should require no adjustment for years.
Adjustment of the cords should only be carried out for specific reasons, such as accommodating
microphones of heavier-than-normal weight, or to compensate for the natural relaxing of the
nylon cords over time. It should be noted that the overall tension on the cords has a direct effect
on the Sling-Shock’s vibration-dampening performance.
!
Increasing the tension on the support cords (as might be required for a heavier microphone)
reduces dampening effectiveness and vice-versa. See Figure 1 (B).
