GRACE DESIGN SB-100/200

Product overview

The GRACE DESIGN SB-100/200 is the Spacebar A/B stereo bar: a standard straight 1 metre bar with two mic holders and a stand mount, which becomes a 2 metre SB-200 with an extra E420 tube and an E418 tube joiner.

The A/B stereo microphone technique typically uses two omnidirectional microphones spaced apart by a distance. The SB-100 is basically a 1 metre wide stereo bar; with another E420 tube and an E418 joiner tube it becomes the SB-200 2 metre stereo bar. The SB-AMH adjustable mic holders carry an engraved angle scale from +90 to -90° in 5° steps, and the E420 tube reads 0 to 105 cm.
