For mounting the VR88 to a mic stand you

can use the included swivel adapter or for

additional isolation the VR88 can be fitted

on the included SP88 “Spider” shock mount.

Follow the steps below to install the swivel or

SP88 shockmount.

•

First, screw the swivel mount or shock

mount onto your mic stand or boom

arm. If you’re using a US 5/8” mic stand

or boom, remove the Euro adapter.

•

Install the VR88 into the swivel or

shockmount by fitting the microphone

into the center of the holder, positioning

the VR88 all the way to the bottom

mounting plate. (Figure 1)

•

Secure the swivel or shockmount by

reinstalling the threaded collar, rotating

clockwise until tight. (Figure 2)

•

Now, loosen the thumb screw to

adjust the angle of the microphone

and position the VR88 to the desired

location. Once set, tighten the

thumbscrew to secure the microphone

in place.

Note: Be careful not to cross thread

or over tighten the threaded collar or

thumb screw.
