| Daniel - what a great thread. My, am I glad you chose to do it!
The excellent photos beg a question: how do you usually attach the microphone to the bar? I noticed you were using a piece of drilled angle (aluminum?) in one of the photos. Great idea! How were the mics attached to that?
I've modded a boom from a boom stand as a stereo bar, using the Manfrotto 3/8 to 5/8 adaptors to mount the mics and to fly the thing. They slide right over the bar and they can postioned anywhere on it. I'll post pics as soon as I can take some.
I'm guessing you have help rigging the ropes? Comments I have are 1) I usually work by myself and 2) many of the churches I record in will NOT allow me to string rope anywhere and don't want anything over the audiences heads. Fortunately the music directors allow me to use my stands!
Please, more pictures - with descriptions!
