Dual Microphone Mounting Bar for Stereo Recording Setups
The RODE Stereo Bar is a precision dual-microphone mounting solution designed for creating accurate stereo recording configurations such as XY, ORTF, and spaced pair arrays. Built to hold two microphones securely on a single mic stand, this mounting bar allows you to position capsules with measured spacing and angle control for professional stereo imaging in studio, live sound, broadcast, and field recording environments.
Accurate Spacing for Professional Stereo Techniques
Clear measurement markings allow microphone spacing of up to 7.9 inches, helping engineers and content creators dial in exact placement for consistent stereo results. Angle indicators are printed directly on the bar to simplify alignment for ORTF and XY techniques. This makes it easier to achieve proper phase relationship and stereo width without guesswork.
Supports XY ORTF and Stacked Microphone Arrays
The Stereo Bar includes spacing clips that enable stacked microphone configurations for coincident stereo techniques. Whether you are capturing drum overheads, acoustic instruments, choirs, ambient room tone, or live ensembles, this mounting bar provides repeatable and stable microphone placement. The design supports dual 3/8 inch mic threads, making it compatible with a wide range of small-diaphragm and large-diaphragm microphones.
Durable Construction for Studio and Field Use
Constructed from rugged ABS material, the Stereo Bar is lightweight yet strong enough for regular professional use. It withstands transport and setup demands while maintaining alignment accuracy. Included 5/8 inch thread adapters ensure compatibility with standard microphone stands and studio hardware.
Optimized for Stereo Imaging and Phase Accuracy
Proper microphone positioning is critical for capturing natural stereo depth and accurate imaging. By providing fixed reference markings and angle guides, the Stereo Bar helps maintain consistent mic placement session after session. This is particularly valuable for engineers who require repeatable results in classical recording, orchestral work, drum tracking, or immersive audio capture.
Compact and Essential Studio Accessory
The compact footprint keeps your stereo setup clean and organized without bulky hardware. For engineers building stereo mic arrays, recording acoustic performances, or capturing ambient soundscapes, the RODE Stereo Bar provides a reliable and practical solution that improves workflow and recording accuracy.
