Horn Mount for SM98 or WM98 Microphone
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 terminates in a shock-mount adapter for the SM98 or WM98 microphone. 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. 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 microphone itself stops flush with the front of the holder. Only the silver metal segment of the connector is held by the holder. See Figure 3.

MOUNTING
