DPA Microphones SBS0400 Stereo Boom with Shock Mounted Microphone Holders

Precision Stereo Boom with Shock Mounts for Versatile Microphone Positioning
The DPA Microphones SBS0400 d:dicate Stereo Boom is a lightweight yet highly functional microphone mounting solution designed for professional stereo recording applications. Featuring integrated shock-mounted microphone holders, this boom enables precise, repeatable adjustments for AB, XY, ORTF, and DIN stereo configurations. Whether used in the studio, on location, or in a live performance setting, this boom ensures optimal microphone placement while reducing unwanted handling noise and vibrations.

Shock-Mounted Holders for Omni and Directional Microphones
Designed to accommodate both omnidirectional and directional microphones, the included shock mounts offer superior isolation from handling noise and environmental vibrations. Built on the Rycote® Lyre suspension system, these mounts provide secure positioning while allowing microphones to move naturally within their suspension, preserving pristine audio quality. Additional Lyre™ rubber pieces can be added for compatibility with different microphone sizes.

Quick and Repeatable Stereo Configuration Adjustments
For sound engineers who require consistent and repeatable microphone setups, the SBS0400 features built-in markers that indicate parallel microphone positioning, along with 90° and 110° offsets for XY and ORTF configurations. These reference points simplify stereo array adjustments, ensuring precise and efficient microphone placement without the need for external measuring tools.

Rotary Joint for Precise and Equal Microphone Angling
At the center of the boom, a rotary joint allows microphones to be angled equally, ensuring perfect stereo imaging and phase coherence. This mechanism provides the flexibility needed to adjust microphone angles accurately, making it an essential tool for recording engineers capturing orchestral, choral, or ambient soundscapes.

Suspension Hooks for Wire Mounting in Studio and Field Applications
The SBS0400 includes built-in hooks for wire suspension mounting, offering additional flexibility for various recording environments. This feature is particularly beneficial for studio installations, theater productions, and field recording setups where vibration isolation and clean microphone positioning are critical.

Expandable Design for Multi-Microphone Configurations
While optimized for stereo recording with two microphones, the boom can accommodate additional holders, allowing users to mount more than two microphones for multi-channel or immersive audio applications. Its 1.3-foot (0.4-meter) length provides ample spacing for standard stereo arrays while maintaining a compact and manageable form factor.
