DESKTOP MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS Mount Compass to your desktop via the included C-clamp: 1 Unscrew the C-clamp and slide it over the side of your desktop, making sure that both the top of the C-clamp and the underside are resting on flat surfaces. Overly rounded or overhanging desktop edges do not make good mounting surfaces. 2 Fixed mounting with the desk-insert bushing (sold separately, see bluedesigns.com) Screw the lower part of the C-clamp until it is tight and secure.

FINE-TUNING COMPASS Compass comes pre-adjusted for use with most broadcast microphones like Yeti and Yeti Pro; however, there may be situations where you wish to fine-tune the microphone hold Compass features adjustable friction hinges at each of the pivot points: base, mid-point, and near the microphone mount. For a more firm hold, rotate the thumbscrews at the friction hinges clockwise.
