PROEL APM72 - Metal Stereo Support Bar for 2 Microphones (180 mm)
Maximize the efficiency of your audio setup with the PROEL APM72 stereo bar , a professional and robust solution designed for sound engineers, musicians, and technicians who need to mount two microphones simultaneously using a single mic stand. Manufactured to Proel's quality standards, this straight bar is the ultimate accessory for keeping your stage or studio tidy without sacrificing sound pickup accuracy.
Constructed entirely from high-strength steel , the APM72 ensures exceptional durability and unwavering stability, even when using heavier condenser microphones. Its compact 180mm width is ideal for close-match stereo recording techniques or simply for reducing the number of tripods required in confined spaces. The matte black finish with chrome inserts offers a discreet and professional aesthetic that blends seamlessly into any environment, from a recording studio to a church altar or conference room.
Versatility is key to this stand: it features universal connections with standard 5/8" threads , both on the base for attaching to the microphone stand and on the two upper anchor points for the clips. This ensures complete compatibility with the vast majority of microphone stands and clips on the market, eliminating the need for additional adapters in most cases.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is the bar adjustable in width?
No, the PROEL APM72 is a rigid bar of fixed length (180 mm), which guarantees greater robustness and avoids moving parts that may loosen over time.

What type of thread does it use?
It uses the industry standard 5/8 inch for both connecting to the stand and holding the microphone clips.
