USING THE FLEXWAND™ AT MAXIMUM HEIGHT
When using the FlexWand™ for large choirs or vocal groups,
you would probably want to have the FlexWand at its maxi-
mum height of 7 feet.
This is easily achieved by pointing the wand straight up and
then loosen the clutch and slide the sleeve up until it mates
into the "sleeve mating coupler." Make sure it is all the way
up and firmly seated over the mating coupler (see Figure 17).
This will insure that the FlexWand is perfectly straight up and
down from all directions. Then position the microphone head

USING THE FLEXWAND™ AS A BOOM
In the "boom mode" the FlexWand™ can mike anything just like a conven-
tional microphone on a boom stand. This can be used when you want the
FlexWand microphone lower for such applications as small vocal groups or
vocal solos. (see Figures 20 & 21).

to any position that
you desire with the
mini-flex at the end
of the wand (see Fig-
ure 18).

When using the "boom mode," the clutch should be loosened and the
sleeve should be slid down so it only covers about half of the large flex,
then tighten the clutch. By doing this, the flex section will be much more
rigid than if the sleeve were slid all the way down.
You might want to experience this for yourself by first loosening the clutch
and sliding the sleeve all the way down (tighten the clutch) and then posi-
tion the wand at a 45 degree angle (see Figure 22a). Now position the
wand at several angles greater and less than 45 degrees and see how it
feels.
