Operating the C5

Installing the SM5 Shockmount

The C5MP kit comes with two SM5 shockmounts, which you can use
to greatly reduce any noise transmitted through the mic stand The
shockmounts are especial useful in reducing the problems caused by
a boomy soundstage, for example when miking overhead cymbals, or
even in the studio with talent that likes to move a lot on a floor that
may not be a solid as it should be
• T o use the C5 with their included shockmounts, screw the
shockmount on a standard mic stand If you are using a US standard
5/8-inch mic stand, remove the Euro adapter by unscrewing it from
the shockmount
• O nce the shockmount is mounted to the stand, carefully slide the
C5 through the elastic bands of the shockmount from the front of
the microphone to the back
• L oosen the thumbscrew to set the microphone angle and then
tighten once it's in place
