Universal Stereo Bracket
UMS 20
– for microphones of the Colette modular system
(e.g. CMC, 20 mm diameter)
With this device and two corresponding microphones,
nearly any of the familiar stereo techniques (X/Y, M/S,
ORTF, Blumlein (crossed figure-8s), small A/B) can easily
be set up.
Its microphone clamps slide and rotate on a bar
marked with angles and spacings, with detents in the
four familiar positions. It is also lockable at any desired
point in-between.
The mounting adapter has a diameter of 20 mm and
fits into the SG 20 stand clamp or the A 20 S elastic
sus pension for horizontal and vertical mounting angles.
SG 20 and A 20 S are not included.
Mounting adapter: 5/8"- 27 NS, with adapter to
3/8" and 1/2"

Sphere Attachment
KA 40
This sphere accessory (40 mm diameter) is for use with
omnidirectional microphones as shown in the photo at
left.
It creates the illusion of closer placement so that
greater miking distances can be used while maintain-
ing good ”focus” in the sound. This in turn improves
the blend and balance when recording orchestras or
choruses, for example. The effect is due partly to an
increase in directivity, but mainly to the elevated mid -
range response (see frequency response curves, pg. 135).
The low-frequency response remains undiminished.
Surface finish: matte gray
This sphere attachment is ideally suited for the “Decca
Tree”:
