Congratulations on your purchase of the CrashGuard! This handy device will help
improve your mixes by giving you greater control over the sound of the snare and
toms with less bleed from the cymbals.
The CrashGuard is extremely simple to use. It is designed to fit any standard
boom arm or gooseneck. Begin by taking the mic clip off your mic stand boom
arm. Make sure you leave the knurled ring on that usually comes with most
booms. The CrashGuard comes equipped with a spare ring in case you do not
have one. Push the CrashGuard onto the mic stand boom arm, holding the
CrashGuard in place with one hand. Then, take the mic clip and screw it onto the
boom. Do not over tighten. Rotate the CrashGuard so that the microphone clip is
pointing in the right direction and then slide the mic into the clip. You can now
connect the mic by passing it through the rear access port. Snug the mic clip and
boom so that everything is secure.
The CrashGuard is designed to fit most microphones and allows the mic to be
adjusted forward and backward plus be articulated up and down. Because most
drum mics are cardioid, try to leave some space between the mic head (capsule)
and the inside top of the CrashGuard. This will reduce any effect the shell may
have on the mic's polar pattern.
Y
ou are now ready to beat the drum loudly!
