Auray STBAR-9 Microphone Stereo Bar with Angle Adjustment

The Auray STBAR-9 Microphone Stereo Bar with Angle Adjustment is the ideal accessory for capturing stereo sound with two microphones on one mic stand. Recording an orchestra, choir, or acoustic piano requires careful placement of two mics in a stereo configuration. Diagrams engraved into the center of the bar indicate the precise microphone angles for rapidly setting up A-B, X-Y, and ORTF stereo configurations.

Markings on each side of the bar allow you to measure the distance between the capsules from 9 to 20cm apart. The STBAR-9 also offers pan, swivel, and tilt adjustment for fine-tuning your microphone placement. And two spacers are also included to keep the microphones separated for stacked arrays.

• Mounts two microphones on one stand
• Ideal for AB, XY, and ORTF stereo mic configurations
• 180° swivel and tilt adjustment
• 360° panning
• 9 to 20cm microphone spread
• Angle and spacing indicators for accurate repeat setups
• Dual 3/8"-16 threads for mounting mics
• 5/8"-27 thread for mounting bar on mic stand
• Ratchet locking handle for operating in tight spaces
• Rugged metal and ABS construction

• The STBAR-9 makes it easy to quickly create accurate, two-microphone setups when you’re capturing stereo sound with a single mic stand in the field or studio.
• It is also designed for advanced stereo-microphone arrays including A-B, X-Y, and ORTF stereo configurations.
• The stereo bar features dual, 3/18"-16 mic-mounting threads and a 5/8"-27 threaded socket that’s compatible with most microphone stands.

• Angle and spacing indicators are there to help you accurately set up your microphone array each time you record.
• Use the measured, 9 to 20cm microphone spreads and angles engraved into the bar to precisely reproduce your X-Y, A-B, and ORTF configurations with the same spacing, angles, and distance between capsules each time you set up your microphones.

• The STBAR-9 offers 180° adjustable swivel and tilt, and 360° pan, so you can aim your microphones exactly where you need them.

• Some engineers like to configure an X-Y microphone array by stacking the two microphones, so one capsule is directly above the other.
• The spacers on the stereo bar make it simple to position your mic capsules right on top of each other, so you can avoid problems with phasing.

• The stereo bar is built for travel, with metal and ABS plastic construction that can withstand the shakes and bumps of the road.
