Topic: LD mod for Shure a27m

[BCostigan]

Moke I know...I should have a pair of those cutter anyway being an electrician.   This is just a quick $1 solution.....and I like the larger diamater of the couplings.  

Just painted it....pics when it's dry!!  

Oh...and as for the TLs being shorter.  Notice how the LEs come together and that the pieces of the vert bar are farthest apart.  Spin them around (one or both as needed) to bring the shorter TLs together!

for some reason i thought the ADK's were a side address mic....

They are

Here's a pic of the final version all painted up.

+T brian, thats hella cool

[1st set only]

Very cool But I want to bypass the Sure ver thing all together and make one out of just PVC
after we move in this will be the first new DIY project

[BCostigan]

I don't think it would be impossible to make DIY vert bar....I don't think it would be cost/time effective though.  By the time you get just the threaded rod and couplings needed you're close to $25.  Another $5 for PVC parts that's $30 when you can get a Shure for $60.


It would be a pretty coold project to do for fun though.  If you need any help on tracking down the right threaded rod let me know.

testing mine out for the first time tonight.  Thanks again for hooking it up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Leave enough room on that for WINDSCREENS, Bri?

I'm playing around right now, with 2 of those mounts you have your mod'd bar on, in the rig thread, like $8 ea..  BUT in the case of the TLM-170's, you either have to use right angle cables on the mic side (DRATS, V3 side only) OR put on of the quick-release extensions on, so the mic cable will clear the screw-handle that the mic mount attaches to.

I'll post some pics soon.  Meanwhile take into account, that windscreens on the mic's are likely going to increase the distance needed between them.

Yea...there is room for windscreens especially if you're running smaller LD mics like the TLs or u89s.......     The beauty of the project is you can easily make the spacer as long or short as you need it to be for YOUR mics.

Thanks for all the info...  I have just ordered a Matched Set of TL A51's...  I need to build this little beauty.  Any additional help would be appreiciated - especialy if someone has one laying around - Ha...

I LIKE THIS ONE!  Very nice...I'll owe you some T's

there is info in the archive about part numbers in case you want to order. A guy here was supposed to make me one, but lied and bailed out on me, so I compiled the info myself..look in the archive.

also..wbrissette makes a wooden one..very nice. PM him if you are interested in seeking his help.
