ISO: Dual Mic Mounts to fit on Single Mic Stand

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

I was wondering if anyone makes such an adapter as this:

It would enable one to mount two mics on a single mic stand. Preferably with
two sets of threads up to 10" apart on a rail.

Alternately, I would ask for a source of the threaded mic mount adapters,
both male and female.

I'm trying to lighten my load by ganging mics together on stands so I can
carry half as many stands to a gig. Normally, I put two stands as close
together as I can get them, but that requires a lot of extra stands and when
you're traveling and doubling as engineer and roadie, every pound counts!

Is this for two mics in one plane, like for a stereo setup? Audio
Engineering Associates makes some very nice ones
(http://www.wesdooley.com) and Sabra-Som has some less expensive ones.
AKG sells a stereo bar, but it's not 10 inches wide. Shure has one
that's a different principle of mounting (you need to think about the
geometry more in order to use it) but it's very compact.

If you're looking for two mics for separate pickup, like a voice and
acoustic guitar, Atlas has an adapter that clamps to the vertical
shaft of a mic stand. Put a gooseneck on that and it's almost like
another boom.

ONe caveat from a longtime user of these devices. IF you're planning
on hanging a heavy microphone from this attachment use one of those
stands with the supporting legs instead of the solid metal base. I've
used these for many aplications, such as a mic for my LEslie cabinet
and a mic for an amp sitting atop said Leslie, vocal and acoustic
guitar, etc. etc.

Btw I've even used this clamp mount on vertical comkponents of
drum/cymbal hardware to get a mic in close to toms or something.
Handy little devices to have in one's kit.
