Title: Size of DIN KWON bar opening
Post by: blu666z on May 16, 2005, 09:27:54 PM
Could someone tell me how wide the opening is on a DIN KWON bar?  I am wanting to find out if I could use one for my AT943s.

Which bar? The Neumann? The Schoeps?

I can post a pic of the Schoeps bar, just to give you something to go by...

Yeah...I I have asked him in the past and he didn't have any interest in it.....said there wouldn't be enough buyers to make it worth his time.

A schoeps mk41 capsule is 20mm diameter by 22mm long and the ccm41 is 45 mm long. Since he designs his bars around the measurement of the capsules diameter with the length of the capsule + cabling taken into account, my guess is that the bar has a hole that is 20- 21mm in diameter by 30-40mm long. If your 933s are about that, they might work with a schoeps bar

Like the Schoeps STC bar, the Kwonbars have an opening for the cable exit area at the rear of the Schoeps mic (CCM or active cable), not the whole capsule itself.  ie - the hole in the bar is only about 5/16" (about 8mm), not the 19-20mm of the capsule itself.

The Schoeps STC bar (ORTF) grabs the same area...

Scremps are roughly 0.315 at the "grab".

Any bar is worth my time, but at this moment I don't feel like I can cover my ass in selling to AT users for just the cost of 3D rendering and prototyping.

On a tangent, I have a number of customers in specialized fields that will cover prototyping and design up front for special bars made for their specific needs.

This is to say that if you, or any group of you (AT, and all users alike), can collectively come up with a prospectus on why they would sell or even get a list of people that wouldbuy them, we move the next step into testing and prototypes.

There is one user well known here that has proposed another set up for the subcards, and if he is successful in testing in the field, a new bar will surface for the darkside - beta name, the "Boss"   ;D
