Mounting the QSNARE and QTOM
Installing the QSNARE and QTOM to your
drums with the integral DMC100 mic clip is
easy. Follow the simple steps below to
install the DMC100 mic clips to your drum
kit.
• First, get the DMC100 ready for instal-
lation. Release the tension on the
upper and lower thumbscrews by turn-
ing them counter-clockwise.
•Next, place the bottom claw the under
the bottom edge of the upper drum rim,
then push the DMC100 forward until
you hear and feel it click into place.
•Now, tighten the lower thumbscrew to
secure the DMC100 firmly to the rim.
• Adjust the height and tighten the upper
thumbscrew in place.
• Once the DMC100 clip is fixed in place
and the height is set, you can adjust
the angle.
Note: While adjusting the angle, you will
want to place the mic in a position that is
least likely to interfere with your playing
style. Because of the QSNARE and QTOM’s
pick-up pattern, and due to a phenomenon
called proximity effect, slight adjustments of
the microphone position and angle can
make a big difference in sound. For further
information on positioning your micro-
phone see the section “Microphone
Placement and Tone Quality” on page 6 of
this manual.
• Connect the QTOM using a standard
XLR mic cable and dress the wire away
from your drum using the cable strain
relief.
Note: For more information on wiring and
mic cables, see page 10 in this manual.
