no ticky, no shirtee.......

I might be saying achtung sooner than you think!

Ya lookin' to unloaded the TL's? I'm in the\ market...

Thanks Moke.
I'm probably going to get the TL set with the B&K matching and the "deluxe" shock mounts. I wonder if that'll make difference with the vertbar?

I have both the stock mounts and the super mounts. You cannot run XY with the supermounts on a Shure vert bar. The mounts are too big. XY with the stock ones on a vert bar is a piece of cake. I got the supermounts for amphitheaters and arenas wher I will be running DIN on a normal AKG T bar.

calico - I use the standard akg t-bar for all my NC micing needs. I've just started dabbling in C techniques and for that I mount one mic on top of the stand and the other mic I clamp below it, check out "my rig" in the rig pics section.

There is slight "compass rose" decal on the top of the shure bar. This can be used to determine the rough angle, if you mount your mics striaght forward in the mounts at 0* straight on-axis. Then spread the mics until you can visually see a 90* spread on the "compass rose" decal.
Once I realized that the distance of a dollar bill achieved 90* @ 17.5cm thats all I use anymore. And if I want to achieve ortf @ 17.5cm, I just rotate each mic outward slightly, and evenly, to achieve the wider 110*angle (apprx.)
I really like the imaging I achieve at 90>100* DIN, so I generally either use the "compass rose", or a dollar bill.
I'm also becoming less fond of xy w/ these mics.

Keep in mind that I use the standard mounts w/ the TL's.

I've learned too much from you.  +T for lurking around here and answering all of my newbie q's

I've already got the AKG t-bar, so it looks like I'm all set.
I've always had bright mics, so I never messed around with XY much. At least in the beginning, I'll stick with NC configs.

It seems like most TL users are recommending the standard shocks. That would save some $$$.

They're nice.  get extra bands though.
