recording set up... # stands for matched pair mics

[min7b5]

Mostly two stands for spaced pair, unless using m/s, ORTF, etc, then I have a few 3d printed single mic clips for those configurations. Most'y I making guitar videos for social media of late, so out of the way and/or low profile is important to me.

I've got two SDCs set on a bar on a stand (camera/lighting type stand I think) that I can pull over into my recording space and set up in seconds. The setup isn't perfect, and I could definitely do better by having each mic on its own stand -- but then I'd have to spend a bunch of time getting the mics into position and doing test recordings to check. (I do have more mic stands that I can use if needed, but the one-stand-bar for spaced pair is my go-to).

The Latch Lake Xtra Boom has been one of my best purchases in recent years. If you are recording yourself in a small home studio it is a time saver. It works with any mic stand. I use mine with an old 1960's AKG microphone stand

Where did you get that mic mount?

Hi Bob,
I made it up in my home shop. Scraps or walnut, a few bolts and 1/4"-20 knobs, and mic suspensions made from PVC pipe and rubber bands.

PVC and large rubber bands can get you about anything you need in a mic mount...

Pretty slick Rudy, is it difficult to put the mic in the rubber band suspension system?

Nope. The bands are arranged to form a open square where they cross, so you simply poke the mic through just the same as any other suspension arranged like that. Most of the other ones I've seen, and some I own, use "O" rings, but the rubber bands do the same thing.
