Topic: Berliner CM-33 mics?

[detroit lightning]

Bumping an old topic, but I just picked up a set of these in the yard sale.

These will actually be my first full (?) bodied mics - any suggestions on mounts/bars?

Any other thoughts/tips with these mics is welcomed!

Have Scott make you a DIN mount!

They come with mounts. I've used this bar with them: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/534727-REG/K_M_23550_500_55_23550_Adjustable_Microphone_Bar.html

The mic bodies are short enough that you don't need to offset them in height for most stereo configurations.

I have been exclusively pointing at stacks (PAS) with roughly 17-20cm spread for the last few years. I will say that shapeways mount is pretty sexy, though.

I'm currently using this mount with my akg391s (same diameter) and I love it: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/894262-REG/rycote_041125_in_vision_stereo_pair.html

this is my favorite bar.  has measurements and angles setup for ORTF and XY/DIN

This is the best idea for these. The stock mounts for them, the threading was a bit chinsey I thought. I still use the shapeways din for other mics.

Just FYI: If you get the shapeways mounts, you might ask him if he can elongate the stem so you can use it with the Rycote INV-HG III mount.

All good ideas - thanks for the feedback. I went with this one mainly for ease of use...got it today, and it seems like what I was looking for.

How are the included windscreens with these? If I'm going to be taping outside will these do well enough, or should I invest in some dead rats for these (or maybe my CA14 rats might even fit?)

Should be able to give these a go this sunday for Tedeschi Trucks...and run a second source on my new (to me) R26!

Definitely get rats.

Definitely get rats.

Yeah, found that out the hard way @ TT...those windscreens didn't do a whole lot. Doubt I will use these a ton outdoors though...

I did too with my CM33s... I even use the rats inside sometimes.

Im pretty sure they are 19-20mm. Not much info as The company fell off the map. Good sounding mics for the price. Kind of wish I still had em.

Wondering if anyone has a SRS mount that fit these mics.
No available model on the SRS website.  Maybe someone here has used one successfully that was made for a different set of mics?

Just bought a pair of these mics.

Look at neumann km184 SRS mounts. Same size pretty much
