Where can I find a cheap functional ORTF bar?

Anyone?

Hey Tubey!

Define cheap. Studio Spares sell a K&M Stereo Bar that costs around £10. Is that cheap enough?

I've bought a couple of multi mic bars here but each time had problems getting my mics into ortf using them. What I ended up doing was using one of the short multi bars I bought with it on the stand mounted using one of the end mic holes. Then I used the clamp on bar only that came with one of my pop filters clamped to the mic stand just under the end. All worked out fine from there. This gave me lots of control of elevations by sliding the clamp on up and down. The mic spread was controled by the angle of the two bars with respect to each other.

Worked here but YMMV.

Good luck.

Build one

I built one using good wood stock, standard flange bases for mic mounts. I rigged to either mount on a microphone stand or hang from cables. Just measure carefully. I pre-marked the base on mine to obtain the proper angle for the mics.

Full Compass sells a metal one for around $35.

Atlas TM1 looks good. Musicians Friend sells them for $15

http://www.atlas-soundolier.com/tech.../SL11.1398.PDF

Also this axman unit

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/.../base_id/40685

My understanding is that an ORTF pair is just two cardoid microphones 17 cm apart with an angle of 110 degrees between them, correct?

I've got 2 of the Atlas, they work fine for me (using KM184s, Earthworks QTC1s & SR77s, AT 4050s etc.).
