Mic-stand-mount for Schoeps capsules?
« on: December 19, 2011, 08:37:24 AM »
Anyone know of a small, pre-fab x/y mount that'll accomodate a pair of MK4 caps? I currently use a small vark bar for x/y, but would really prefer a mount similar to the Schoeps/NOLA BARs ORTF, Wide-ORTF, etc mounts.  I know Neumann & DPA make x/y mounts for their respective capsules, but I'm pretty sure those units won't work w/ Schoeps caps...

TIA

schoeps made one; the UMSC, but unless the photos are deceiving, it's designed for use without windscreens or atleast specialized windscreens.

The Vark is prob the easiest way to do XY w/ Schoeps
Schoeps MK 4V & MK 41V ->
Schoeps 250|0 KCY's (x2) ->
Naiant +60v|Low Noise PFA's (x2) ->
DarkTrain Right Angle Stubby XLR's (x3) ->

Can you show me some pictures?
I'm currently mired in the "research & development" part of the next to impossible Schoeps XY mounting solution, and short of building my own UMSC, I'm in a pickle.

Thanks!

Hey JB... I'll take some pics of the Vark and a Grace Spacebar with XY mounted Schoeps later tonight. The Vark is something everyone should have in their gear bag.

Well I tried... but completely forgot I no longer own SGC clips! XY with the Rycote INV-7s was mostly possible, but didn't look great. No way to do it with those mounts and not have the lyres touch.

I got some good pictures though that I"ll probably still post.

Are not the Schoeps and DPA capsules the same diameter?

If so, you could use the DPA mount pictured for the Schoeps.

That's a killer.
It may be time to start building my own!

Get a normal t bar. I assume you have mic clips so....
Get a riser and thread adapter and done.
I took this when I ran full bodies with mk4 at mmw. That is a normal t-bar and one riser and thread adapter.

Or if you have a Vark Bar, they come with a 1" riser, and its VERY SIMPLE to do with the Vark Bar ;) Thats your cheapest and best route for sure!
