I was wondering if anyone makes such an adapter as this:

It would enable one to mount two mics on a single mic stand. Preferably with
two sets of threads up to 10" apart on a rail.

Alternately, I would ask for a source of the threaded mic mount adapters,
both male and female.

I'm trying to lighten my load by ganging mics together on stands so I can
carry half as many stands to a gig. Normally, I put two stands as close
together as I can get them, but that requires a lot of extra stands and when
you're traveling and doubling as engineer and roadie, every pound counts!

This is called a "stereo bar." AKG makes some good cheap ones, as do most
mike stand manufacturers.

Black Audio Devices is right now shutting down and they probably have some
they are getting rid of. They definitely have taps and dies so you can make
your own which they have on sale.

Why do you do this? Are the mikes pointed at different things?

If you're looking for two mics for separate pickup, like a voice and
acoustic guitar, Atlas has an adapter that clamps to the vertical
shaft of a mic stand. Put a gooseneck on that and it's almost like
another boom.
ONe caveat from a longtime user of these devices. IF you're planning
on hanging a heavy microphone from this attachment use one of those
stands with the supporting legs instead of the solid metal base. I've
used these for many aplications, such as a mic for my LEslie cabinet
and a mic for an amp sitting atop said Leslie, vocal and acoustic
guitar, etc. etc.

Btw I've even used this clamp mount on vertical comkponents of
drum/cymbal hardware to get a mic in close to toms or something.
Handy little devices to have in one's kit.
