There are many wonderful stereo miking techniques out there, and the IO-Vector Stereo Utility Bar lets you easily apply many of them to your Triad-Orbit microphone stand. The Triad-Orbit IO-Vector Stereo Utility Bar comes equipped with a notched stainless steel hex post to handle serious weight while remaining fully compatible with all IO Quick-Change receivers. A pair of IO Quick-Change mounts facing opposite directions makes parallel and XY stereo configurations simple, but the thing GearNuts engineers really love about the IO-Vector Stereo Utility Bar is the addition of two extra mounting points, which let you place the IO-R38 Quick-Change coupler in two different configurations. Add some IO-A boom arms or Micro adaptors, and you can easily set up Decca Tree, OCT, and other advanced multi-mic recording configurations.
