The PSA1 offers a choice of two desk mounting options, using either the
desk clamp or desk insert.
Mounting via the Desk Clamp
1- Unscrew the clamp so that the opening is large enough to fit over the edge of
your table.
2- Push the clamp all the way onto the table edge for maximum security.
3- Fasten the clamp to the desk by turning the handle so that it is tight against the
underside of the table.
Note: Make sure that the clamp sits flush on both the top and bottom surfaces
of the table. If this can not be achieved, we recommend you mount the studio
arm via the desk insert (refer to ‘Mounting via desk insert’).
4- Test that you have mounted the clamp securely by seeing if you can pull it off
the edge of the table. Tables with round edges provide less security than those
with square edges. If the clamp comes off easily, try reattaching it tighter and
repeat the test. If it still removes easily, we recommend that you mount the
studio arm via the desk insert (refer to ‘Mounting via desk insert’).
5- Insert the arm into the hole at the top of the clamp. You are now ready to attach
your microphone.

therefore will require the tools to do so.
1- Take the time to choose the best location for your new studio arm. Try different
positions using the desk clamp first so you are comfortable with the location you
have chosen. You should also refer to your microphones user manual for details
on the correct relationship between microphone and user.
2- Mark the location you wish to position the desk insert and check that it meets
the minimum and maximum recommended distances (refer to illustration)
3- Use either a 7/8” or 1” hole cutter and drill out a hole in the location you have
marked.
4- Remove the nut from the desk insert and drop it into the hole you have just
made.
5- Replace the nut onto the desk insert from the underside of the table and tighten
it up against the table.
6- Test that you have tighten the desk insert securely to the table so that it does not
move.
7- Insert the arm into the hole in the top of the desk insert. You are now ready to
attach your microphone.
