Widget arrives assembled and mounted on an

adjustable desktop stand that accommodates

a variety of recording situations. The included,

detachable USB cable not only delivers premium

quality sound transfer, but also integrates

aesthetically with your Widget’s appearance.

To adjust your Widget, ﬁrst loosen the thumbscrew

on the back of the Widget’s head. Once the

thumbscrew is loose, simply slide the head up or

down the boom to the desired placement, then

tighten the thumbscrew to secure the Widget’s

head in place.

Caution: Do not move the head without ﬁrst

loosening the placement thumbscrew. The

warranty does not cover Widget damage

incurred by forced head movement.
