Setup Instructions

1. Install the Table Mounting Clamp:

2. Attach the Boom Arm:

   Insert the base of the microphone boom arm into the hole on the table mounting clamp. Tighten the screw on the clamp to secure the arm in place.
3. Mount Your Microphone:

   Depending on your microphone, you may need to use the included 3/8" to 5/8" metal screw adapter. Screw the microphone directly onto the boom arm's thread, or attach the shock mount first.

4. Install the Shock Mount:

   If using the shock mount, screw it onto the boom arm's thread. Then, carefully place your microphone into the shock mount. Note: The included shock mount is designed for microphones with an outer diameter of 40-53mm and is NOT compatible with Blue Yeti or Blue Snowball microphones.

5. Attach the Pop Filter:

   The pop filter can be clamped directly onto the boom arm or your desk. Position it in front of your microphone to reduce plosive sounds.

Operating Instructions

Adjusting the Boom Arm

The InnoGear boom arm is designed for flexible positioning. It features multiple adjustable joints:

• The base rotates 360° for full horizontal movement.
• The arm segments can be extended 135° back and forth.
• The microphone attachment point can be adjusted 180° up and down.

Loosen the adjustment knobs at each joint to reposition the arm, then tighten them to secure the desired angle and height. The arm's strong springs provide stability and prevent accidental dropping, supporting microphones up to 3.3 lbs (1.5 kg).

Load Capacity Adjustment

The boom arm features two positioning screw options to adjust load-bearing capacity. If your microphone is heavier, you can switch the spring's attachment point to the second hole to increase stability and support.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the boom arm and accessories with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Joints: Periodically check the tightness of all screws and knobs. Tighten if necessary to maintain stability.
• Storage: When not in use, the boom arm can be folded for compact storage.

Troubleshooting

Problem: Boom arm is unstable or sags.

Solution: Ensure the desk clamp is securely tightened. Verify that your microphone's weight does not exceed the 3.3 lbs (1.5 kg) capacity. Adjust the spring tension by moving the positioning screw to the second hole if applicable.

Problem: Microphone does not fit the shock mount.

Solution: The shock mount is designed for microphones with an outer diameter of 40-53mm. It is not compatible with Blue Yeti or Blue Snowball microphones. If your microphone falls outside this range or is one of the incompatible models, you will need a different shock mount or microphone clip.

Problem: Microphone does not screw onto the boom arm.

Solution: Ensure you are using the correct 3/8" to 5/8" screw adapter if your microphone requires it. Check the threading on both the microphone and the arm for any damage.

Problem: Pop filter is not effective.

Solution: Ensure the pop filter is positioned correctly, approximately 2-3 inches in front of the microphone, and that the microphone is speaking into the side of the pop filter facing the user.
