WARNING: This is not about electronics...
Has anybody here built a stereo bar for AB micing with omnis? The supply of ready-made ones one could buy is really limited, a web search only turned up the AEA "Stereo Microphone Positioner" if more than the usual 17cm of length are needed.
I was thinking about building something using a metal rod that screws on the mic stand and then use mic table clambs (like these: http://www.thomann.de/de/km_237_sw.htm) to attach the mics to it.
Problem with this solution would be that clambs are not really connected with the metal bar, so there is a risk of throwing a mic down while moving it into position. The AEA seems to have clambs that slide on the bar. But how to build something like that with ready made parts?
