Title: T-bar recommendations for Rode NT3 mics
Post by: bluesnut49 on August 21, 2010, 11:36:20 AM

I'd appreciate any advice on a good T bar for these big mics.  I've been looking at this one:

Would like to know if anyone has experience with it and/or other recommendations.

Thanks,

Ernie

I have that t-bar and run a zoom H2, two superlux cm-h8k condenser mics, and two Nakamichi 100 with CP4 shotgun capsules on it, without any problems.

that mount is a beast. I had one and was shocked at how heavy it was. You should check out the K&M 235 which is made of steel and should work for your perfectly.

also, I still use this K&M mount for different applications b/c it is made of aluminum.

If you are using a lightstand, make sure to order a rapid adapter which will allow you to quickly put the mount on top of your stand.

Thanks for the help! I appreciate all the input.  I ordered the K&M 23550 adjustable bar.   Probably going to need one of those adapters for my light stand as well.
