Setting up the Podcaster
Using the PSM-1 mount (optional)
For additional vibration isolation, the Podcaster
can be fitted to the optional PSM-1 ‘spider’
shock mount. The PSM-1 is a recommended
and useful addition to any recording facility
as it significantly reduces unwanted noise
transmission to the microphone.
• First screw the PSM-1 shock mount onto
your mic stand, boom arm or ‘Anlgepoise®
style’ arm. If you’re using a US 5/8” mic
stand or boom, remove the 3/8” insert.
• Remove the locking collar from the base
of the Podcaster and store it away in a safe
place where it will not get lost.
• Install the Podcaster into the PSM1 by fitting
the microphone into the center of the web
and onto the bottom mounting plate.
There is a captive locking collar in the centre
of the shock mount which will screw onto the
thread on the bottom of the Podcaster.
• Rotate the captive locking collar to secure
the Podcaster firmly in the shock mount.
• Loosen the thumb screw on the PSM1 shock
mount to adjust the angle of the Podcaster
and position it to the desired location.
Once set, tighten the thumbscrew to secure
the Podcaster in place.
Note: Be careful not to over tighten the
thumbscrew as this could cause cross threading
and the mount will not maintain the correct
angle if this occurs.
