Topic: Schoeps(factory) NOS Bar ???

[spreadheadtom]

Call Redding Audio or Jerry at Posthorn - if it's available, they'll know about it - and then buy it from them to support their business and customer service. 

yeah redding seems to know nothing about it. someone on this board posted that schoeps had come out with the STCw in their newest catalog and advertised it to be used with CCM21s. i guess it was vaporware.

I may be a little late on this but I just got the 2008 catalogue and it IS in there and listed as: "STC-W - Special version of STCg for (2) MK21 capsules with active cables or (2) CCM21" Price $155

155 for a rod of black delrin. Paging Robert Kwon!!!   

the CCM L mics don't fit in the kwons because of the lemos

are the lemo's to small for it to fit snug?

too big actually. that's the problem.

drill them out.

ekoostikal, what you're quoting is the U.S. distributor's price list. The catalog (published by Schoeps, translated and partly written by yours truly) unfortunately doesn't list this item, as I said earlier. But as I also said earlier, Redding Audio definitely knows about this item, since they were "in" on its creation.


> Paging Robert Kwon!!!

Well, in fact this product came about because I wrote to Mr. Kwon in September, 2005 to ask what he would charge for making one, and he quoted me $275 apiece, or three for $550.

When Schoeps is your low-cost alternative, something is not quite right ...

Unfortunately, unless you have a close friend or colleague in the machining business it will be pretty expensive on such a small quantity. The materials and programming are the easy part. I was just recently quoted $45 per piece I wanted machined with me supplying all materials and CAD drawings. Small runs will always be outrageously priced. Luckily, I am only wanting to mount the 4V's vertically in the bar so it is a fairly easy DIY unlike a DIN or DINa that would require much more advanced tooling skill.

Edit:

I know a few people in the machine shop over at my university, so I am going to try that alternative. I am only making some for personal use though and maybe a few extras if all goes well.

You are correct .... sorry about the confusion..... I did get that information from the price list that Redding sent me..... I looked back in the actual gear catalogue and it is not listed there.

There's a local supplier for the delrin and I know a guy with a machine shop...hmmmmm?
