Topic: Schoeps STC Bar and A20s shockmount...

[Nick Graham]

Finally got an A20s the other day, and ran into a small problem:

After inserting the STC (ORTF) bar, the damn thing will not come out...at all. It won't rotate either, so as of right now, my mics would be pointing damn near straight up.

I've tried everything. Is it supposed to be this tight? If I ever get it out, would the SGH mic clip be a better fit?

Any ideas?

the ortf bar should be tight.  it is tough to take out but it will come out.  you should look into the kwon bars, they are awesome, especially for the caps that you run

The center of the STC bar has a pair of ridges that keep the bar centered in an A20 or mic clip.  A small screwdriver should be enough to coax it out of there.

Just cup the cage of the a20s in your hand and slide the ortf bar out.  Don't try to snap it in and out.  It's tight, but shouldn't be so tight you can't slide it out.
