Title: T Bar Riser/Spacer?
Post by: newplanet7 on December 26, 2007, 01:57:14 PM

I am grabbing The akg km235/1 t-bar and was wondering about what sort of spacer I would need to make one mic taller?

EDIT to add:
Also was wondering if I would have any trouble running
any configs with the t-bar and these shockmounts?

Cant you just unscrew one of the sets from the bar, and screw it in from the other side?...one mic over, one mic under...

If you can I feel like a dummie.  :-[
I am just starting out and trying to put everything together.
But now that I look at it, that could be a possibility. 
Thank you for the quick response.

This should do the trick for you.

Rapido
Quick releases for any 5/8" thread products
(T-Bars, shockmounts, etc.)
Can be used as a riser: 3/4"

I'm sure this can be purchased from many different retailers but this is the first place off the top of my head I knew where to find it.

That might actually be handy...the one problem with simply reversing the mic mount screw is the possibility of too much vertical space between the mics...YMMV

I think they are a bit heavy...

I like these things the best - pretty versatile...and cheap. You need 2 of them.

Someone here suggested going to guitar center and getting a 5/8 female-5/8 male adaptor, so i went in and sure enough there it is for $3.99...and they are rapid release so I got two.  8)

+T when I find the thread.
