Place the flange on the mounting surface in the desired location for the microphone. 2. Use a pencil to mark the flange holes and the center hole on the mounting surface. 3. Remove the flange, and drill a center hole approximately 1¾ inch (44.5 mm) in diameter through the mounting surface for the XLR connector. 4.
6. From below the surface, partially screw in the locking nut, but don’t tighten it. 7. Insert the base of the microphone into the flange until the bottom extends beyond the bottom of the locking nut. 8. Hold the microphone in place, and tighten the locking nut until secure. 9. Run an XLR cable underneath the surface, and connect the female XLR connector to the gooseneck.
