Title: Where would I get a t-bar and how much would it run me?
Post by: dunebug81 on April 13, 2006, 01:34:26 PM: Im going to a show weekend after next where I can run in the open and would like to put my DPA4061s on a stand with a t-bar (or something). Im not looking to spent a bunch of money as 99% of shows I go to I have to stealth. Any suggestions? Perhaps someone in the ATL has one I can borrow for the evening.

edit: for model #

I think that most traditional t-bars are gonna be overkill for you plus you won't have to worry about getting it shipped out in tim., if you have some clips for those mics you should be able to clip onto a basic t-bar/mic stand you'd find at GC.

That's true, heck, for 4061's you could just use a 2 foot long slim piece of wood or radio antenna.
Just find some way to get it attached to a stand. (duct tape? >:D )

Post by: dunebug81 on April 13, 2006, 11:58:34 PM: I was thinking just some cut up clothes hangers tied together. The show is outdoors so I should have something a little sturdy just incase its windy...shit I dont have windscreens. Well I guess I can just hope for the best.

Ohh yes...that is a good idea. I'll have to check that out.

Checked it out and that is very cool and a pretty easy DIY project for this weekend. Hell that thing (if painted black) could easily be stealthed and sat on the ledge of a balcony or some other fixture.
