Title: Shure Stereo Microphone Adapter & LD's(TL'S) ???
Post by: rowjimmytour on February 17, 2007, 03:06:04 PM

I want to solve the problem of running my TL's w/ ease in MS, Blumlein, and XY. So I was thinking about buying a Shure Stereo Microphone Adapter A27M. Any other TL users do this or other LD users? And does it help distribute the weight better? Do I need any special adapters to run my LD's and shocks? I have a fairly light stand (Basic 9 manfrotto) and don't feel safe using the Super clamp. thanks in advance for any input.
Peace

I think you're best off with a pair of Windtech "C" Type clamps instead:

I agree with brian a pair of clamps makes it nice and easy to do M/S or blumlein.

Markbar...but if you'd rather buy a bunch of parts so be it.

Looks cool, Mark.  Only potential issue:  it suffers from the same challenge as the Shure vert bar when running LDs coincident - the mics are well off the mic stand's vertical axis, causing instability in lighter weight stands like mine and the one he runs.  With a beefy stand, though, the Mark Bar looks like a great option.

Ya yer right Brian.  I forget all the different stands out there.  When I got the Shure in 93 that was all anyone ran.  lol  There weren't the plethora of brands there are now.  I forget about that.  But ya it is rock solid even at 10 feet with the Shure.

Had a Shure Vert Bar with homemade PVC extension.  Worked perfect with TLs in the manner you want.  You'll need a heavy clamp to hold it up, or go straight on top of stand.

Do ya think I could get away w/ just buying one more Manfrotto Quick Release Mounting Clamp and have a secure configuration on my light stand?

These clamps seem like a cheaper alternative method and two super clamps + TL's +Shocks=10LBS :o I found them at Sound Professional for $18 each.

B&H has them for $15 plus shipping. they are much lighter than a superclamp.
