MTRAY: How To Set Up & Use

Introduction:
In this guide, we'll show you how to easily set up your MTRAY clamp on a variety of stands, including microphone stands, desktop stands, laptop stands, and even drum hardware like a hi-hat stand. This setup is quick and requires no technical expertise. Whether you're organizing your studio equipment or setting up for a live performance, this article will ensure your MTRAY is securely mounted and ready to use.

Requirements:

• MTRAY
• Microphone stand
• Desktop stand
• Laptop stand
• Drum hardware (e.g., hi-hat stand)
• Items to place on the tray (mixers, interfaces, etc.)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Setting Up the MTRAY on a Microphone or Desktop Stand

• Loosen the Knob: Start by loosening the knob on the MTRAY to open the clamp. This allows the tray to adjust and fit onto your stand.
• Check for Enough Space: As you loosen the knob, check if the clamp can fit onto the stand. If not, continue loosening the knob until there is enough room.
• Adjust the Clamp: Move the clamp in and out to adjust its width and fit the stand.
• Align the Clamp: Once you have enough space, position the clamp onto the microphone or desktop stand. Ensure the circular ridges align with the stand for a secure fit.
• Tighten the Knob: Tighten the knob all the way to ensure the tray is firmly secured to the stand.
• Add Your Items: Place your equipment, such as mixers or interfaces, onto the tray.
• Removing the Tray: To remove the tray, loosen the knob to release the clamp, then slide the tray off the stand.

2. Attaching the MTRAY to a Laptop Stand

• Loosen the Knob: Loosen the knob to open the clamp for the laptop stand.
• Check Fit: Ensure the clamp has enough space to fit onto the stand. If needed, loosen the knob further.
• Align the Clamp: Line the clamp up with the desired spot on the stand. If you are attaching it to a thicker part, ensure the clamp fits securely in place.
• Tighten the Knob: Once positioned correctly, tighten the knob to secure the tray onto the stand.
• Add Your Equipment: Place your items like mixers or MIDI controllers onto the tray.
• Removing the Tray: Loosen the knob to release the clamp, and remove the tray from the stand.

3. Setting Up the MTRAY on Drum Hardware (Hi-Hat Stand)

• Loosen the Knob: Begin by loosening the knob to open the clamp for your hi-hat stand or any other drum hardware.
• Check for Fit: Move the clamp in and out to adjust it to the appropriate size for the stand. If necessary, loosen the knob further to create more space.
• Position the Clamp: Line the clamp up with the desired spot on the drum hardware (either the top or bottom of the stand).
• Tighten the Knob: Once the clamp is properly aligned, tighten the knob to secure the tray to the stand.
• Add Your Items: Place your equipment onto the tray, such as mixers or interfaces.
• Removing the Tray: To remove the tray from the stand, loosen the knob to open the clamp and slide the tray off.

4. Attaching to Other Drum Hardware

• Follow the Same Steps: For other pieces of drum hardware, like tom stands or other mounts, simply follow the same steps as with the hi-hat stand. Adjust the clamp, align it, tighten the knob, and secure the tray.

Conclusion:
Setting up the MTRAY on various stands, whether microphone, desktop, laptop, or drum hardware, is simple and straightforward. With just a few easy steps, you can securely attach the tray to any stand and place your gear on it.
