1. Remove center column from
the shipping carton and place
as shipped (speakers face
down) on the floor or on a suit-
able sturdy table. If assembling on
floor, raise bottom end of lectern to
make fastening base to lectern
easier.
2. Remove and unpack the base
from the shipping carton.
3. Position base with the two locking
wheels facing the back of the lec-
tern. Assemble the base to the
column by using four of the 2 inch
long knurl knob screws supplied
with the lectern.
TIP: Do not completely tighten
each screw as you place it through
the base and into the column. Wait
until all four screws have been put
into the proper position and then
tighten them up.
4. Turn the base and column assem-
bly upright. If assembled on a ta-
ble, place the unit upright on the
floor.
NO TOOL ASSEMBLY OF LECTERN
READING TABLE ASSEMBLY

reading table.
2. Attach the table to the top of the
column. This is accomplished by
placing the table top on the col-
umn base and lining up the cor-
ners.
TIP: the corners need to be lined
up in order to get the screws in the
table top.
3. Fasten the reading table to the
column with the 4 - 1 inch long
knurl knob screws supplied. The
knob screw goes up into the read-
ing table through the 4 holes in the
column

the lectern by pushing the plastic posts in
each corner of the grille into the 4 cups.
ASSEMBLY OF FLEXIBLE GOOSENEC MICROPHONE:
The MIC CORD comes pre-wired to the am-
plifier but needs to be assembled into the
MOUNTING FLANGE located in the far left
corner of the READING TABLE.
Take the plug end of the microphone cable
and insert into the rubber boot of the
MOUNTING FLANGE from underneath.
Push plug end all the way through the
rubber boot.
Now take GOOSENECK MICRO-
PHONE and connect to the plug end of
the cable. Notice that the microphone
connector has three small (3) pins in-
side of the connector. These pins can
bend if you are not careful. Align these
pins with the three (3) holes in the plug
end of the cable and push together until
microphone is completely seated onto the
plug.
Now carefully take excess cable and push
back through rubber booth first, then insert
the microphone only far enough that it is
able to stand upright without falling over.
Please read all instructions first and then follow the steps below.
Your lectern may not contain all of these features. MOUNTING FLANGE
