I just put in the 2nd mic. Let's leave it under the internet CPU's monitor. So the mic in the stand is mic 2 (the one we've always used), but I put in mic 1 (no stand). FYI there is an on/off switch on the new mic installed, so if it's not working make sure it's "on" or in the up position. Thanks and let me know if you have any questions!!! Mike
