3. Insert the SM98 or WM98 microphone in the shock mount
holder by slipping the cable through the slot and sliding the
connector back through the opening until the protruding black
cable lock button is in the open slot and the back of the micro-
phone itself stops flush with the front of the holder. Only the sil-
ver metal segment of the connector is held by the holder. See
Figure 3.
GENERAL
The Model A98KCS Horn Mount is a versatile device that securely
attaches Shure SM98 or WM98 microphones to a horn, wind, or
reed instrument in the exact position desired while protecting the
instrument and its finish. The cushioned grip is manually tightened
and securely clamps the rim of the horn. Non-marking neoprene
rubber on the grip prevents marring the bell or its rim.
A short gooseneck (165 mm [6-1/2 in.]) attached to the clamp ter-
minates in a shock-mount adapter for the SM98 or WM98 micro-
phone. The gooseneck length can be adjusted to facilitate locating
the microphone in precisely the desired position in the bell of a
horn. A side screw locks the gooseneck in the chosen position.
MOUNTING
1. Attach the cushioned grip to the desired location on the bell of
the instrument and tighten the knurled top thumbscrew to hold
the clamp in place. See Figure 1.
