Review on πŸŽ™οΈ SB20 Rode Stereo Microphone Array Spacing Bar Mount by Dave Harris

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Worth a little more price

I was wondering if it's really worth the money they charge for it when you can get a similar product for half the price, but it is! When recording, it's difficult to get the two mic stands right, not only to avoid phasing issues, but also to get the right angles for XY, ORTF, etc. XY, ORTF, spaced pair and whatever else you can think of. It comes with two standoffs attached to the pole so you can place one mic on top of the other when recording XY. Plus, it's just nice not having to deal with multiple mic stands. As I mentioned it comes with gaskets AND there is a mic stand adapter already screwed into the stereo bar. So if your mic boom mount or whatever uses a large thread, simply unscrew the metal adapter and you're good to go. You'll also get bonus adapters for your mic stands in the future. One thing I would recommend is getting a swivel adapter because unless you have a very short mic stand or a taller stool you are going to have a little trouble aiming the mic boom at the sound source. It's not impossible, but well worth spending the extra money. I didn't know when I bought it and I will buy it now.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Upgrade availability
