Royer Labs has announced the FlexBar Dual Microphone Utility Bar, a versatile, multi-purpose microphone positioning tool designed to hold two microphones in a variety of configurations.
FlexBar’s lockable L-shaped arms offer increased flexibility over standard stereo microphone bars, in addition to traditional stereo bar positioning. The arms enable it to be used for applications such as a two-mic set-up for acoustic guitar and vocal, or miking the top and bottom of a snare drum with a single microphone stand.
Standard stereo bar applications include the head-to-head stereo Blumlein configuration and standard spaced pair, ORTF. Its etched gradient markings allow for easily repeatable mic set-ups.
The FlexBar is made of aerospace grade aluminium and uss a non-reflective black finish. It was designed in a Royer Labs/Triad-Orbit partnership and can be used with all Triad-Orbit accessories.
‘Rick Perrotta [President of Royer Labs] and Triad-Orbit put their heads together on this unique mic mount system and it turned out to be even more versatile than we had originally planned,’ says Royer Labs Vice President of Sales & Marketing, John Jennings. ‘There’s a lot of functionality and versatility in the FlexBar, going well beyond traditional stereo bar setups, and we think audio engineers will find it indispensable once they’ve set one up.’
The Royer Labs FlexBar Dual Microphone Utility Bar is expected to be available at a price of US$199.
