König & Meyer 23550 Stereorail voor 2 microfonen, 20 cm zwart

Does what it needs to do could be designed a bit better

This bar, although cheap and could be used for microphone placement, it is definitely very difficult to adjust. When you want to place your microphones with a certain angle of direction and distance between microphones, it is very difficult to adjust. The knobs are too small and you can't tighten enough to stabilize the microphones. It is definitely not very handy.

The goal of this product is to be able to mount two microphones on one stand. Stereo recordings made easy.
In fact, this thing does its work, however it could have been much more practical with some small solutions.
(1) it should be a bit longer. 20cm is not always enough for all scenarios involving a stereo pair
(2) make the screws more stable. When fixed into the microphone through the hole in the product, the smallest move loosens the screws. As long as you dont have to move the stand, there is no problem.
(3) Add measures for distance between the two screws and, if possible, angles as well.

prima kwaliteit voor die prijs kun je er zelf niet aan beginnen.
