I was wondering if this was really worth the money they were charging for it when you can get a similar product for half the price but it is!
First off, as someone new to stereo recording, it’s tough to position two mic stands properly not only to avoid phasing issues but just getting the correct angles for XY, ORTF, etc.
The guides on the bar are extremely helpful for placing your mics at the right angle for XY, ORTF, spaced pair, and anything else you could think of. It comes with two spacer clips attached to the bar so you can place one mic above the other when recording XY.
Plus it’s just nice not to have to deal with multiple mic stands.
As I mentioned it does come with spacers AND there’s a mic stand adapter that’s already screwed into the stereo bar so if your boom arm or whatever uses a larger threading just unscrew the metal adapter and you’re set to go plus you get a bonus adapter for your mic stands in the future.
One thing I would recommend is getting the pivot adapter because unless you have a really short mic stand or a taller chair then you’ll have a little trouble pointing the bar at the sound source. It’s not impossible but it’s worth spending the extra money. I didn’t know about that when I bought this and I’m going to purchase that now.
