Thread Starter  |  Crazy contraptions for multiple mics on one stand
So, who else puts together ridiculous conglomerations of microphone clips and accessories to make a stereo mic mount or other things? Here is a couple of pics of an ORTF rig on top of an M-S array that I will be using this weekend. I will blend the two to taste. The ORTF mics are Oktava 012s and the M-S mics are an Earthworks QTC-1 and an Oktava ML-52 (rebranded by Electro-Harmonix and modded my myself to make it a flat-top). If you've got pictures, post 'em  |

WOW!! What about a Latch Lake Extra Boom?? Its not as hectic as that above torture device, but I'll get 8 mic's on one stand in about 3 1/2 minutes with a bunch of extra booms and the Mic King. Ah....What do I know?

I have a single cymbal stand with not one but two modified SE reflexion filters, a blumlein bar holding a pair of fatheads, two shockmounted LDCs, an XY or ORTF pair of SDCs, and a headphone hanger. For starters. Then there's my songwriting station which has on one regular mic stand a Tascam DR-1, a Peterson Stroboflip, a Korg Pandora, an Audix i5, a pair of ATH-M50's also on a hanger, and a shelf (yes, mic-stand-mountable shelf) for odds and ends and a beverage.

Nice ones guys! d_fu, your second rig is exactly the same as mine, cool. I'm glad I'm not using such large mics for the M-S though (I'm worried already about weight issues for the stand). Yes joel I have done that trick several times, very helpful. Actually I have three drum mic clips that have been invaluable for clipping extra mics to stands or whatever. |

Do I get the prize for most mics on one stand (13)? This was for a surround comparison. Trinnov and OCT rig David L. Rick Seventh String Recording |

Yeah that's pretty awesome. I'm dreading the day when someone wants surround recording. I've never done it, I'd have to invest in those ridiculously-priced bars. Or build my own, yes.

Attachment is photo of 2 piece mic holder, 1 piece is a stereo bar, the other piece holds main L/R, Cent and LFE(Omni) mics. I had these machined out of aluminum at a local machine shop. The KM184's on the stereo bar are facing forward a little, as I was experimenting and this particular concert didn't have any rear sound sources. FWIW, Rick Z
