Using the Behringer MC1000 microphone clamp is easy. First, attach the clamp to your microphone stand. You can use the 3/8' to 5/8' adapter if needed to fit your stand. Then, place your handheld microphone with a diameter between 0.1 - 1.4' (24 - 35 mm) into the clamp. You can adjust the angle tension according to your needs. For live performances, recording studios, podcasting, or gaming, this clamp will hold your mic firmly. When it comes to maintenance, simply wipe it with a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the break-resistant hard plastic construction. Also, don't apply excessive force when adjusting the angle tension to prevent any breakage.
