KC Stereo Mounts enable owners to accurately set up a stereo pair of
microphones while only having to use one shockmount:

NOS 30cm 90 degrees
DIN 20cm 90 degrees
DINa 17cm 90 degrees
ORTF 17cm 110 degrees
ORTFw (wide) 25cm 110 degrees
Vertical address with both 17cm and 20cm at 0 degrees
MidSide at 0 degrees
Omni with three openings: 20", 17", and 14" at 0 degrees


If you are intersted, please email me at Louie.Liokis @ gmail.com
make
sure you state KC Mount in the subject line


The hardest mount to make is the omni bar, so it went first to see if
it was even possible. Looks like you can run 2 pairs of mics with no
problem. I am going to sell them with a bag of washers to ensure a
snug fit The V bar is going to look the same but just shorter and
with
holes drilled at 17 and 20

Update 2/4/09
The Vertical Address and M/S mounts are completed.

with mics in


MidSide - which does require rubber seals to make it tight.

I think this is a terrific idea. I am actively recording both large
classical music concerts as well as winos on the NYC subway.

My preferred setup is two SM-58's Can you make me a mount for these? How
about a decca tree? I need both, urgently.

And they need to be very light weight and fold up for a backpack.

Let me know.

I'd recommend ORTF. With a measurement ruler & protractor, it should be
very easy to set up. ORTF is the best of both worlds, close to binaural
w/headphones & combines to stereo speakers well. An adjustable stereo
bar should work fine for this.

I forgot to mention that the 17cm applies to the distance between mic
diaphragms. The distance is important, but it is also individual. People
with fat heads need more than 17cm, & people with small heads need less;
17cm is the average human. Your mileage may vary.

Not quite... The 17cm spacing of an ORTF pair is often thought to
relate to the human interaural distance, but this is only coincidence.

If you change the distance or you change the angle, it's no longer ORTF
but some other near-coincident method. That's not a bad thing, mind you,
and in most rooms you will benefit a little bit from altering the
configuration a little bit. It depends more on the room than on the
listener, but of course everything involved in the recording and
reproduction chain has something to do with personal tastes.
