Q: 4. The screw at the top of my boom pole has broken off in the shock mount. Is it possible to buy a replacement top screw for this boom pole?

Q: 5. How loud is the fan in db? Does it have variable speeds? Does the fan slow down when the speaker is in standby mode?

A: The QSC K8.2 Two-Way 8" 2000W Powered Portable PA Speaker with DSP Processor (BH # QSK82) features a very quiet, low-noise fan. Once the amplifier reaches a certain temperature, the fan engages at very a low speed, and as the amplifier heats up, a clever algorithm in the DSP will instruct the fan to speed up accordingly. There are no published specifications for the dB level but it is not audible while content is playing.

Q: 6. Will this mount the Auray DUSM-1 shockmount?

A: The Auray DUSM1 shock mount features a 3/8 female threading compatible with the K-Tek boom poles.

Q: 7. what c-stand and clamps do I need with the K-Tek KE-89CC?

A: For the C-stand, you can use any model, just be sure to select one that accommodates the height you require. Any standard C-stand and boompole holder can be used. For a stand that extends 10 feet, you may like the Impact Turtle Base C-Stand - 10.75' - Chrome (B&H# IMLSCT40M). The same stand is available in different heights. For an easy to use boompole holder, consider the Auray Boompole Holder and Grip Head Kit (B&H# GBBPHK) or BoomMate Boompole Holder and Grip Head Kit (B&H# BOBPHK).

Q: 8. Is this compatible with the Rode VideoMic Pro Compact Shotgun Mic?

A: The rode video mic pro is a shotgun mic designed for dslr shooters. It has a mini jack for hooking into the mic jack of a dslr type camera and a cold shoe for fitting into the top of a dslr. You wouldn't want to use it on this boom pole. What you want is the rode NTG series shotgun mics. These are the video professional grade shotgun microphones, the NTG-1, NTG-2, NTG-3, NTG-4, and NTG-8. I personally use the NTG-1, and it has served me well for almost 8years. It requires phantom power from whatever recording device you are connecting it to but it is a great mic. You'll need a shock mount though to fit it onto the boom pole. I would suggest the Rode SM4 shock mount. Or if you want protection from wind look no further than the rode blimp and windscreen system. With this kit you are good to go for all indoor and outdoor shooting. Hope this helps!
