Operating the CV4

Installing the SMS-1 Shockmount

The CV4 kit comes with a SMS-1 shockmount, 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 CV4 with its included shockmount, screw the shockmount
on a solid 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, line up the bottom
threaded section of the CV4 to the holder and slowly rotate the bottom
thumbscrew clockwise until it screws on hand tight Be careful not to
cross thread the screws
• Y ou can loosen the bottom thumbscrew slightly to make left and
right adjustments to the mic, and then re-tighten it once it's in place
Remember, the front side of the microphone is the same side as the
Miktek logo
• L oosen the thumbscrew to set the microphone angle and then tighten
once it's in place
