• 3-pin XLR-type connector for microphone input and output

Description
The AT8666 desk stand is designed to enable the user to reverse the
direction of the XLR chassis connector and push tab on the top of the
desk stand. (This is a useful feature if you are using a microphone whose
switch would be oriented away from the user without reversing the
direction of the XLR-type connector.)
To reverse the direction of the XLR-type connector on top of the AT8666
desk stand:
1.Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screws (2) at the corners of
the XLR chassis connector on the top of the desk stand.
2.Grasp the “push” lever, lift it slightly, and turn the connector 180°,
so the push lever is near the front of the desk stand.
3.Replace and tighten the corner screws on the XLR chassis connector.
Note: Placing any object on a surface (such as a conference table)
before its finish is fully cured may result in damage to the finish.
