If you want to reduce background noise and improve sound isolation when recording with a condenser microphone, attaching an ISO box to your Rockville RVMIC1 V2 stand is a great option. This guide will show you two different methods for securely mounting the ISO box to your mic stand for optimal recording quality.

What You’ll Need

✔ Rockville RVMIC1 V2 Stand

Method 1: Attaching the ISO Box to the Boom Arm

1. Align the ISO Box – Locate the threading hole at the bottom of the ISO box.
2. Screw It Onto the Boom Arm – Attach the ISO box to the top of the boom arm and use the included threaded adapter to secure it tightly.
3. Adjust the Angle – With the ISO box attached, you can tilt and position the boom arm to achieve the best microphone placement.
4. Insert Your Microphone – Mount your condenser microphone inside the ISO box using a shock mount if needed.

Method 2: Attaching the ISO Box Directly to the Mic Stand

1. Remove the Boom Arm
   • Loosen the boom arm adjustment knob at its base.
   • Pull the boom arm up and detach it completely.
2. Transfer the Threaded Adapter

   • Use the included threaded adapter to secure it in place.
4. Attach the Microphone

Which Setup Should You Use?

• Use Method 1 (Boom Arm) if you want adjustable positioning and the ability to angle the ISO box.
