 After the correct stand is identified, it needs to be assembled. This involves screwing together the components, spreading the legs and raising or lowering the end that the microphone attaches to to the correct height which depends on the instrument being mic'd.

 Screw the clip (or the microphone on the clip) to the microphone stand. Almost all microphone clips use 5/8" female thread; some stands have the corresponding 5/8" male thread on the end but some have 3/8" male thread. In case of the latter, a thread adapter is required; it may be already screwed into the clip, or not. If needed and not present, locate a thread adapter in the microphone suitcase in the thread adapter bag.

 == Orientation / Placement
 
-The final orientation and placement of the microphone can be left up to the musician, but the microphone should be positioned in the ballpark of its proper placement, specifically:
-
-- Vocal microphones should be placed on stands pointing up and toward the soloist area, so that when a soloist standing in their area is reaching for the microphone, the microphone is pointing approximately at their head.
-- Violin and viola microphones should be placed above the shoulders of the musician sitting in the chair, pointing downward.
-- Cello microphone should be horizontal, be located in front of the musician's chair, pointing toward the musician's chair.
-- Flute microphones should be approximately shoulder height of the seated musician, horizontal, pointing toward the chair.
-- Oboe microphone is TBD, however it is normally setup works great.
-- Clarinet microphone should be aproximately shoulder height of the seated musician pointing about 45 degrees downward toward the chair. The microphone should point about 2/3 of the way down the instrument in normal playing position.
+When you are setting up an instrument station, the musician won't be present, therefore you won't be able to position the microphone exactly how it should be during the concert. You should place the microphone in the ballpark of how it is meant to be during the concert, which is described in MicrophonePlacement.
