Introduction

The Rockville Rogan Stand Pro is a versatile boom arm mic stand designed for podcasting, streaming, recording, and live performances. This guide will walk you through assembly, microphone setup (dynamic and condenser), cable management, and additional accessories.

Step 1: Assembling the Stand

Option 1: Using the C-Clamp

1. Take the stand and attach the C-clamp:
   • Press the button on the clamp.
   • Slide it into the silver piece at the base of the stand.
   • Release the button to lock it in place.
2. Mount the stand onto your desk:
   • Loosen the clamp knob to create an opening.
   • Position it on your desk or table.
   • Tighten the knob to secure the stand.
3. Adjust the arm positioning:
   • Use the bottom knob to adjust the lower arm.
   • Use the top knob to adjust the upper arm.
   • Tighten the knobs once you find the perfect position.

Option 2: Permanently Mounting to a Desk

1. Use the included bolts:
   • Choose either the long or short bolt, depending on your desk thickness.
   • Remove the nut and washer.
   • Drill a hole in the desk (if necessary).
   • Insert the bolt through the hole.
   • Secure it with the washer and nut underneath the desk.
2. Detach the clamp from the stand:
   • Use the Allen key to loosen the screws inside the clamp.
   • Remove the mounting plate.
3. Secure the stand to the bolt:
   • Line up the hole in the stand’s base with the mounted bolt.
   • Screw the mount onto the bolt.

Step 2: Installing a Microphone

Option 1: Using a Dynamic Microphone

1. Attach the included mic clip:
   • Screw the mic clip onto the threading at the top of the stand.
2. Insert your dynamic microphone into the clip.
3. Connect the microphone cable:
   • Plug the female XLR end into the microphone.
   • Use the grooves in the stand to run the cable neatly:
     • Open the clips on the arms.
     • Feed the cable through the grooves.
     • Close the clips to keep the cable in place.
4. Plug the other end into your interface and start recording.

Option 2: Using a Condenser Microphone

1. Attach a shock mount:
   • If needed, use the mic clip adapter to secure the shock mount onto the threading.
   • Screw the shock mount onto the stand.
   • Pinch the sides of the shock mount to insert the microphone.
2. Position the microphone:
   • Choose whether to have the mic facing upright or upside down.
3. Connect and route the microphone cable.
4. Plug the mic into an interface and start recording.

Step 3: Attaching a Pop Filter

1. Loosen the knob on the pop filter’s clamp.
2. Attach the clamp to the stand:
   • Align the hook part of the clamp to the middle groove.
   • Tighten the knob to secure the filter.
3. Position the filter:
   • Adjust the arm of the filter to position it in front of the mic.

📌 Why use a pop filter?

• It reduces plosive sounds (like "p" and "b" sounds).
• Improves recording clarity.

Step 4: Adding a Smartphone or Tablet Holder

1. Screw the holder onto the threading at the top of the stand.
2. Insert your smartphone or tablet into the holder.
3. Route the charging cable through the stand’s grooves for a clean setup.

Step 5: Adjusting the Stand

• Use the top and bottom knobs to set your preferred height and angle.
• Adjust the microphone tilt with the small knob on the mic clip.
