just use different clips

honestly the vark bar option is the way to go.... much cheaper

Especially if you're only going to use it for xy. That's all I do with it.

what about running cards outside NOS? especially if you are way FOB...does that leave a hole in the middle?

Nick, I have a show with mk4's split 25'. It does'nt sound bad at all, imo.

The UMS20 ($365) will allow you to run XY, MS, DIN, DINA, NOS.  The M100C ($225) will allow you to run the same, minus NOS.  But those solutions are unnecessarily expensive, IMO.  You can support all of those coincident / near coincident config using:

$ 50 | Vark bar (XY, MS, DIN, DINA)
$ 80 | Kwonbar (NOS)

I left the A20S shockmount and SGC clips out of the equation because you need 'em regardless of which mount you utilize.

Mics were clamped to the lower balcony @ The Bowery Ballroom, in NYC. I have no idea how far that is from the stage.

I know the bowery...definitely helps with the visual...thanks Kevin!

from the picture, it appears this requires bodies, as there are clips which i don't think you'd want to put on your actives, but i imagine there is a workaround.

The workaround is that you just use them.



I love my UMS and I'm glad I picked it up before the price hike, i spent under 300 for it.  I think it's set to some sort of wacky pseudo-DIN config that I run from time to time, but then again I always get those angles mixed up.
