Schoeps & Actives users, tbar & shockmount
« on: January 30, 2005, 05:04:02 PM »
Any schoeps card-caps w/active heads users ever have any experience using something other than a kwonbar on a stand?  It doesn't seem to be a very versatile device...(what if I had to/wanted to try running in XY, for example)...

I have 3 bars:  NOS (Kwon), DIN (Kwon), ORTF (Schoeps), and thinking about adding a fourth (DINA, Kwon).

If you don't wanna mess with different Kwon bars, pick up a Vark bar to slot into a single shockmount and add a pair of SGC clips.  Not enough spacing to run NOS, but'll handle coincident / near-coincident techniques and allow you to adjust your angles to preference.

there is also the schoeps stereo bar which can be used to run pretty much any config, but it's pricey. I love the KWON bars, makes things sooo easy when setting up with actives.

If I ran more than the mk41's I would consider getting one.

what Brian said... the Vark bar is very similiar to the schoeps bar but *much* cheaper. The schoeps bar does have the angles on it though....

I've got the DIN kwonbar and the vark bar. I love both of them. the vark bar i use for A/B and XY. the vark bar fits nicely in the schoeps shockmount.

Hey Brain, when do you use NOS?

Before I got my MK21s, I ran MK4s NOS in nice sounding venues when way up front.  Now, if I'm that close and in a nice room, I run my MK21s NOS.  Not enough nice sounding rooms around, though...but love the results when I'm able to run that setup.

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

I've run cards NOS  FOB indoors and outdoors, both with good results - no hole in the middle.  I can see how if you're waaaaay FOB and the stacks are split pretty wide you might get a hole in the middle, but...haven't had that happen to me, yet.

great, thanks!  I actually bought 3 kwon bars a month or so back used (DIN, DINA and NOS) for when I get my MG active setup and was curious when I would use the NOS bar....but got a good deal and bought all three...now hopefully the JK setup will fit em, without a significant impact to angles/spacing....

Colored dots, multiple config's, angles, etc.

It comes with an adapter, so you can put it in an A20s.

"Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded."  Abraham Lincoln (Dec. 18, 1840, to Illinois House of Representatives)
