2. Attaching the Microphone Clip/Mount

The stand features a 5/8-27 threaded adapter at the top. If your microphone clip or shock mount uses a 5/8-inch thread, screw it directly onto the top of the stand. If your microphone clip requires a 3/8-inch thread, remove the included 5/8-27 adapter by unscrewing it counter-clockwise, then attach your 3/8-inch compatible clip.
