I am looking for an inexpensive stereo bar that I can use for all of the popular stereo techniques.

This stereo bar should also be around $30.

I have searched the net to no avail. Please help me.

The ones like this will do XY and ORTF if you have pencil condensers and mic clips that hold the body. Flip the screw on one side for better results in XY .

This works nice and is flexible:

Good quality if you don't mind thread adapters:

The AEA stereo mic protractor...$20usd



available at www.wesdooley.com

spacing is fixed on that one...I suggest the k+m 235 bar..or a used Shure A 27m with my LDC Mod(to accomodate two LDCs in blumlein/m-s)

T. Ray, can you describe your mod that you made to the Shure holder? Thank you.

Any of you guys know where to get a big stereo bar for wider spaced pairs? The kind where there is a 2 to 3 foot long bar and you can "slide the mics around" on it to vary the width of the pair.

I almost hate to give this one up...
Buy a Radio Shack "desk" mic stand. The short one.
Remove the base. Keep the short "stand".
Obtain a Atlas-style boom arm and replace the arm with the short stand.
The short stand is threaded at both ends to mount mic clips.
With the short stand mounted in the adjustable part of the boom, you'll have an adjustable (tilt. rotate) stereo bar that mount to the top of a regular stand. I use a couple of Sabra shock mounts for isolation and a cool look. The only down side is that you can't place the mic clips any farther apart. Works real well for ORTF, XY, but maybe not enough width for spaced pairs.

+1 for the Sabra Som. The adjustable connectors are worth it! I hate doing XY from a fixed point, and likewise, the smaller stereo bars that do XY well aren't spaced well for ORTF.

Enter the Sabra. Best of both worlds.

I have used something similar to this... I havn't found the design to be robust enough for my needs.

I ended up picking up two small stereo bars from K&M. I will soon invest in the shure bar and to the TRAY mod.

Thanks for everyone that chimed in.....
