König & Meyer Microphone bar 23550

Love this brand, they always deliver. I needed something sturdy but compact as an XY configuration for drum overheads and this fit the bill perfectly. Seems pretty solid, doesn't wobble around

Works as intended 👍🏻

Tidy work, in good materials. Price was not too bad for about ten pounds and some pennies.Interestingly a claimed feature is that there are "no parts to lose"; as shipped it had a thin red elastic band to make sure the knobs were not detached from the bar in transit, clearly they are none too sure of that "feature" themselves, that was a tad ironic in my view, and caused me a wry grin. You can't really leave the band in place as it would interfere with the functionality.I've tried a few of these things and this one is the tidiest built one of them all so far.If I need another I'll happily choose this one as a first choice above other types, but only if Amazon have them in stock, and sadly that seems a bit sporadic so far; it's often out of stock and for sometimes a longer period than is strictly helpful.

Good quality and greatly made just not the length it should be

You really rather have to have a stereo bar in your bag (along with a pair of matched condensers to stick on it, of course).A lot of noobs are surprised when they see just how small stereo bars are. Well, only a few inches of separation and a few degrees of angling are necessary for XY or AB work. With a bit of ingenuity, a boom stand and a figure-8, this can also be used to rig a Mid-Side setup, of course.

Solid construction and just the right size for the job I wanted it for. I have a Rode NT2a I use for it's figure 8 sat on top of a AT4033a. Up until I bought this, I was using 2 mic stands, very awkward for a classic M/S setup, and taking up way too much room in my small studio. Highly recommended, can handle a decent weight load.

Pretty good, works.

This is a fairly short 'stereo bar' of 6 3/4" between centres and is fairly robust. There is only the small microphone thread catered for which is sufficient for short microphones in a stereo setup - say, ORTF @ 170 deg.
