A-RAY
A-Ray Surround sound Microphone suspension
Ambient's A-Ray Surround Sound Microphone Support System is a portable support that allows up to five microphones to be mounted on a single boom pole or stand. A variety of distancing options are available that can place the mics between 20-72" (50-182 cm) apart. Telescopic arms and special sliding nodes with toothed flanges fuse into a central axis and are easily adjusted using lever knobs.
Main Benefits:
- Multi-microphone support
- 3-dimensional arrays
- Ergonomic design
Overview
The construction uses a central rectangular axis, telescopic arms and special sliding nodes with toothed flanges and quick release skewers that provide fast and easy set up.
By arranging the nodes in plane or perpendicular, it is possible to create well known multiple microphone configurations such as Decca Tree and others including experimental 3D arrays.
Made of aluminum and carbon fiber, the A-RAY is lightweight while very strong, and folds down to a nicely-compact state for storage or transport in the included carrying pouch.
It is also available as a kit version (A-RAY-S).
