Helpfully light, but watch your fingers.
DrCheese 02.02.2021
I got this to be able to arrange SDCs for stereo XY and ORTF. Few stereo bars include the height offsets that this one does. It is made of plastic which initially seems disappointing, but is probably useful for keeping the weight down (useful if the stereo bar is on the end of a boom arm). The choice of plastic in its design means that it is slightly chunkier - this is not an inconspicuous stereo bar which might be a consideration if recording recitals.
It is slightly longer that most stereo bars.
The markings are not terribly useful in adjusting for XY/ORTF. This might depend of the length of the SDCs or LDCs you are using. I would still recommend the use of a cutout for setting up ORTF.
The thread on the screws is rather sharp and removing the offsets requires some effort. I already sliced a finger once doing this. Rode do warn you about this sharpness in the leaflet, but I don't understand why they didn't just round the edges of the threads slightly. I will concede that I have 'city hands' though.

Light and practical, includes spacers and measurements/angles
A Dutch Person 11.01.2021
It's made of plastic - but not cheaply made. It's very light and practical with separators for XY ORTF and measures on it. A bit expensive for the simplicity and material (it's not aluminium).

Comes with simple instructions and QR links for recording set-up. Will use it with pairs of Line Audio CM4 and OM1, small Swedish Boutique mikes. Weight and portability are important for me, so happy! Brand name far too big on two (!) sides of the bar, ugly and a bit childish of Røde. Will erase it with black marker ;)

Brilliant, despite a little disappointment...
Hilvert H. 04.03.2016
I took delivery yesterday, of Two of these bars, and I must say I'm very impressed with these stereo bars. They do exactly what it sais on the tin, they feel very sturdy and are very easy to use with my M5's. The height adapters work Perfectly and prevent a good fight with Your XLR cables.
The only thing I was a bit disappointed with myself, is that the bars don't come with what I call the "swivel-head" to mount it onto a boom pole on a mic stand, and you need to buy these Pivot Adaptors separately. If your mic stand has a boom arm, Get the "PIVOT ADAPTORS" too!!
I guess I was expecting a bit too much, and had to step down onto Planet Earth again, never mind me.
But the bars are seriously Good, trust me on that one.

Does its thing
Jonas Sääv 30.01.2024
Somewhat expensive for what it is and it's lacking a swivel function which can be bought in addition but to the same price as the bar it self.
They are sturdy though, does their thing.

A little expensive, but very firm and precise.
Aljaz 12.09.2015
A little expensive for a microphone stereo bar, but it is extremely easy to use, very firm and also very precise. You can easily attach two microphones (cables) and it is very fun to use.
