Topic: 4023 mounting?

[Colin Liston]

I just got a pair of DPA 4023's and I am wondering what everyone uses to mount them. I have the DPA ORTF bar, but I will not always be close enough for the ORTF bar.

So I was curious to hear some advice on what to use to mount my mics.  Any and all ideas are welcomed.

Thanks

i just stick with the xy/ortf bar.

I also use the XY/ORTF Bar only for 4022's

I third the combo mount bar. I use 4021s. You can use the DPA CSM4000 mounts if you want more flexibility.

Most of the time I'll be in a small club and too far back for the ORTF bar.  Do you guys always use the ORTF bar in every situation?

thanks

how small of a club and how far back?  ive found ortf can get me through most situations just fine even when way back.

[Colin Liston]

About anywhere from 20' 50' back.  If I am in the back with my mics in ORTF they point way out to the sides of the club and the mics aren't really aiming at the stacks.

I thought that you could use that bar for XY90 also (at least the B&K ORTF bar I used was also an XY90 mount).

use the xy mount instead, the mount does both. 

[Colin Liston]

I can use the XY mount but I don't like the sound of cards in XY.  I am looking for mounts and t-bar to aim at the stacks, and didn't want to buy the schoeps bar or the DPA bar.  Anyone know of a cheaper t-bar for small mics like the DPA's?

get yourself some dpa mic mounts, a vark bar and a schoeps schockmount to mount it in....

vark bar: http://posthorn.com/Macvk_4.html

I dont understand why more people dont use the vark bar...weighs nothing and has the same functionality as the heavy ass Shure bar

I agree

I hate that shure bar

The vark bar also fits nicely in the shure donut shockmount

My buddy uses 4023's and just recently got the Schoeps M 100 C Microphone Bar, but it's pricey at $225.

Like others have said you can also achieve the same results with a Vark bar, but he had trouble finding a Vark bar in stock.
