Adjustment Instructions

The TONOR T20 Microphone Suspension Scissor Arm Stand offers 700mm horizontal/vertical distance and 360° full rotation. To adjust the position of the microphone, simply move the boom arm and rotate the joints as needed. Be sure not to exceed the maximum load capacity of 4lbs/1.8kg or the maximum horizontal/vertical length of 27.6"/700mm.

Troubleshooting Tips

• Boom arm not staying in position: Make sure the joints and screws are tightened properly. If the problem persists, check if the microphone's weight exceeds the maximum load capacity of 4lbs/1.8kg.
• Microphone not fitting in the mic clip: Ensure that you are using the correct thread size (3/8" or 5/8") for your microphone or shock mount. Use the included adapter if necessary.
• Pop filter not staying in place: Check that the clamp is securely fastened to the boom arm and that the filter is positioned correctly in front of the microphone.
• Vibration noise during use: Ensure that the desk clamp is tightened securely and that the microphone cable is secured with the cable ties to prevent it from touching the boom arm or desk.

Product FAQ:

Q: What are the differences between this suspension stand and Innogear's stand?
A: The TONOR T20 suspension stand has a maximum load capacity of 1800g, while the Innogear stand can support up to 1000g. Additionally, the desk clamp area of the TONOR T20 is 38c㎡, compared to Innogear's 9c㎡. The TONOR T20 can also support desk thicknesses up to 6cm, while the Innogear stand can only support up to 4.5cm. Finally, the TONOR T20 comes with three support frames, while the Innogear stand only has two.

Q: Can the stand be adjusted freely?
A: Yes, the port of the desk clamp has a sleek design that allows the arm stand to rotate 360 degrees. Additionally, with a maximum adjustable angle of 180 degrees, you can conveniently set it to your desired height and angle.

Q: Does this work with the Blue Snowball Ice?
A: Yes, with the included 3/8" to 5/8" adapter, you can easily mount your Blue Snowball Ice onto the arm stand. For more information on compatibility and how to connect your specific model of Blue Snowball Ice to the arm stand, please refer to this page: https://www.tonormic.com/pages/t20

Q: How wide does the clamp open? I have a relatively thick desk that is about 2 & 3/8", so I'm already pushing it based off of the product specifications.
A: The desk clamp can be adjusted and clipped onto desks with a maximum thickness of up to 6cm.

Q: How does this compare to the Rode PSA1 Swivel Mount Studio?
A: The TONOR T20 suspension stand is made of durable steel and allows for 360-degree rotation, with a maximum load capacity of 1800g. The Rode PSA1 has a similar design and also allows for 360-degree rotation, but has a maximum load capacity of approximately 1700g. Additionally, the Rode PSA1 is heavier than the TONOR T20 by about 200-300g. Finally, while the Rode PSA1 is designed for heavy microphones, its arm stand spring may be too strong for lighter microphones, causing the arm stand to pop up. The TONOR T20 is designed to support both light and heavy microphones.

Q: Should I keep the arm fully extended vertically when I'm not using it to keep tension off the springs? Does it matter?
A: While it may be smart to do so in the long run, keeping the arm fully extended vertically when not in use should not significantly affect the springs.

Q: It is flipped looking the wrong way. I can't get it into place.
A: You can flip the part that holds the microphone up or down to use it in your preferred orientation.

Q: Does this work with SM7B?
A: While we have not tested it with the SM7B, we believe that it may be too heavy for this boom as it comes. You may be able to replace the springs with stronger ones to make it work, but we recommend purchasing a heavy-duty boom rated to hold heavier microphones instead.

Q: Do you have an update on when this will become available again?
A: The product is currently available.

Q: To clip the arm stand's desk clamp onto my desk, what should be the maximum thickness of the desk?
A: The desk clamp of the stand can be freely adjusted and clipped onto desks with a maximum thickness of up to 6cm.
