Mounting The Qsnare - Samson Q snare Owner's Manual

Mounting the QSNARE

Installing the QSNARE to your snare drum
with the integral DMC100 mic clip is easy.
Follow the simple steps below to install the
DMC100 mic clips to your drum kit.
• First, get the DMC100 ready for instal-
lation. Release the tension on the
upper and lower thumbscrews by turn-
ing them counter-clockwise.
• Next, place the bottom claw the under
the bottom edge of the upper drum rim,
then push the DMC100 forward until
you hear and feel it click into place.
• Now, tighten the lower thumbscrew to
secure the DMC100 firmly to the rim.
• Adjust the height and tighten the upper
thumbscrew in place.
• Once the DMC100 clip is fixed in place
and the height is set, you can adjust
the angle.
Note: While adjusting the angle, you will
want to place the mic in a position that is
least likely to interfere with your playing
style. Because of the QSNARE's pick-up pat-
tern, and due to a phenomenon called prox-
imity effect, slight adjustments of the micro-
phone position and angle can make a big
difference in sound. For further information
on positioning your microphone see the sec-
tion "Microphone Placement and Tone
Quality" on page 5 of this manual.
• Connect the QSNARE using a stan-
dard XLR mic cable and dress the wire
away from your drum using the cable
strain relief.
Note: For more information on wiring and
mic cables, see page 7 in this manual.
