Hi, I am working with a RODE NT1 with the SM1 shockmount. I am having trouble angling the mic into the proper position using a boom stand. I don't have the option of setting up the mic close to the performer, so I have the boom extended. I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions. The SM1 only pivots just a little bit and that's what is making it so difficult to work with.
For now, I telescoped the stand all the way up and then angled the boom down to the performer and attached the shock mount upside down.
Anyone have this problem?
Thanks

I apologize...I meant I am unable to position the base of the mic stand close to the performer. It is a small booth and there is a table right in front of him.

What kind of instrument (or vocal), for live session or recording, etc.
The SM1 will rotate greater than 90 degrees, I'm not sure what the issue is, but try working the SM1 in a couple different ways.
