The MSM is a plug-in shock mount microphone base for desktop and count-
er use. Its contemporarydesign is a complementing fixturefor boardrooms,
conference rooms, pulpits, podiums, or newsrooms. It is ideal for use with
gooseneck microphones and other quick-mount types using XLR (male) type
connectors. The black-finish housing is made of lightweight ABS material. It
supports the XLR (female) type connector and the thick shock-absorbing
rubber cushion.
The MSM is easily screwed onto a flat surface with a maximum thickness of
3/4" providing maximum stability and excellent noise insulation, and vibration
handling for live miking situations.
The MSM allows convenient wiring with its flush-mounted XLR (female) con-
nector.The signal appears across pin nos. 2 and 3 while the ground connec-
tion is in pin no. 1.

•Connecting - The outside diameter of the microphone connector’s housing
should not exceed 3/4", with its length 3/4" or longer.This is to ensure its com-
plete and lock-tight connection with the flush-mounted XLR (female) connector
of the shock mount base.

(female) connector of the shock mount base.
