Operating the C7

Installing the SM7 Shockmount

The C7 kit comes with a SM7 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 C7 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 C7 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
• L oosen the thumbscrew to set the microphone angle and then
tighten once it's in place
