Setting up the Podcaster

Using the PSM-1 mount (optional)

For additional vibration isolation, the Podcaster

can be fitted to the optional PSM-1 ‘spider’

shock mount. The PSM-1 is a recommended

and useful addition to any recording facility

as it significantly reduces unwanted noise

transmission to the microphone.

• First screw the PSM-1 shock mount onto

your mic stand, boom arm or ‘Anlgepoise®

style’ arm. If you’re using a US 5/8” mic

stand or boom, remove the 3/8” insert.

• Remove the locking collar from the base

of the Podcaster and store it away in a safe

place where it will not get lost.

• Install the Podcaster into the PSM1 by fitting

the microphone into the center of the web

and onto the bottom mounting plate.

There is a captive locking collar in the centre

of the shock mount which will screw onto the

thread on the bottom of the Podcaster.

• Rotate the captive locking collar to secure

the Podcaster firmly in the shock mount.

• Loosen the thumb screw on the PSM1 shock

mount to adjust the angle of the Podcaster

and position it to the desired location.

Once set, tighten the thumbscrew to secure

the Podcaster in place.

Note: Be careful not to over tighten the

thumbscrew as this could cause cross threading

and the mount will not maintain the correct

angle if this occurs.
