Mono compatibility is essential for good stereo imaging under any
circumstances, not just for broadcast purposes.

The stereo bar manufactured by K=F6nig & Meyer in Germany & marketed in =

North America under both Beyer & AKG brands is very versatile in that
it has two adjustable swinging arms on a central plate. This allows
use with a wide variety of mic sizes & will accomplish all the usual
coincident & near-coincident techniques. Modifying the basic unit
with a 1" riser or standoff on one of the arms improves near mounting
of end address mics.
