IMO you get more of a variety of options w/ the vert bar than w/ the t-bar.
Quote from: Scooter on April 06, 2005, 03:35:17 PMIMO you get more of a variety of options w/ the vert bar than w/ the t-bar.How so? Both support coincident and near-coincident techniques (XY, ORTF, DIN, Blumlein) with infinite variability of included angle and horizontal spacing (granted with a max horz spacing limit). I don't believe one provides more options than the other, I think it's purely personal preference - and I happen to prefer the AKG / K&M t-bar. 'Course, I haven't used one since I got my Kwonbars.
because you can flip the pieces of the vert bar to get diff spacing between the threaded parts that the shox attach to.
and you don't need risers to go near-coincident like you do w/ the t-bar when using certain mics.
and w/ large horizontal spacing
you can achieve configs that the t-bar just won't do.

Quote from: Scooter on April 06, 2005, 03:43:11 PMbecause you can flip the pieces of the vert bar to get diff spacing between the threaded parts that the shox attach to.Okay, so you can achieve greater vertical distancing between the shock mounting points. But I think that's more a result of the different design than a functional plus or minus.Quote from: Scooter on April 06, 2005, 03:43:11 PMand you don't need risers to go near-coincident like you do w/ the t-bar when using certain mics.Risers are cheap and easy. Alternatively, just run one mount upside-down on the t-bar.Quote from: Scooter on April 06, 2005, 03:43:11 PMand w/ large horizontal spacingI think you mean vertical spacing? See comment above re vertical spacing.Quote from: Scooter on April 06, 2005, 03:43:11 PMyou can achieve configs that the t-bar just won't do.What configs are you able to do with your vert bar that are not possible with a t-bar?
Brian,Can the K&M T-bar handle the weight of the AKG 414s?
