PKS40: How To Set Up w/ A Gooseneck

Introduction

The Rockville PKS40 keyboard stand is designed to support additional accessories, including a gooseneck microphone stand for added versatility. Whether you're a vocalist, musician, or content creator, attaching a mic stand to your PKS40 allows for hands-free operation while keeping your workspace organized.

Step 1: Selecting a Mounting Location

You can attach the gooseneck mic stand in several places:

• Inside the frame of the stand
• On either side of the stand
• At the corners for a balanced setup

For this guide, we'll attach it to one of the corners for optimal positioning.

Step 2: Attaching the Gooseneck Mic Stand

1. Loosen the clamp on the gooseneck mic stand.
2. Slide the clamp onto the selected mounting location on the stand.
3. Tighten the clamp securely to ensure a stable connection.
4. Adjust the gooseneck to your preferred position.

Step 3: Attaching a Dynamic Microphone

1. Insert the included mic clip onto the gooseneck stand.
2. Slide your dynamic microphone into the mic clip.
3. Connect the microphone cable and route it through the built-in cable management holes on the stand.
4. Plug the mic into a mixer, audio interface, or powered speaker.

Step 4: Using a Condenser Microphone

If you're using a condenser microphone, follow these steps:

1. Attach a shock mount by screwing it onto the top of the gooseneck mic stand.
2. Pinch the shock mount and insert the condenser microphone.
3. Secure the mic cable through the cable holes to maintain a clean setup.

Step 5: Adding a Pop Filter (Optional)

Because condenser microphones are more sensitive, a pop filter can help reduce plosive sounds.

1. Loosen the clamp on the pop filter.
2. Attach it to the gooseneck mic stand near the microphone.
3. Position the pop filter in front of the mic for optimal sound quality.

Conclusion

Attaching a gooseneck mic stand to your Rockville PKS40 is quick and easy, offering flexibility for vocals, streaming, and recording setups. With cable management options and an adjustable gooseneck, your setup remains organized and efficient.
