Audio Engineering Associates SMT-2 User manual

AEA SMT-2 Stereo Microphone Template Kit
Audio Engineering Associates
The AEA SMT-2 includes the following parts as shown:
1 SMT bar
2 TA-2 adapters from female 3/8-16 (EU) to male 5/8-27 (US)
2 Locking rings
4 3/8-16 (EU) socket cap screws
1 TA-3 adapter from female 5/8-27(US) to male 3/8-16 (EU)
1 Posi-Lok adjustable angle adapter
Remove the foam from the bar and insert the socket cap
screws through the holes. To use with American 5/8-27 mic
stand threads, use the TA-2 adapters. In this view the heads of
the socket cap screws are visible.
For American standard stand adapters, tighten the TA-2s
down to the bar. For European microphones the socket cap
screws (3/8-16 threads) can be used directly.
Reinsert the vibration damping foam into the channel.
For American stands, attach the TA-3 to the bar through one
of the 3/8” PEM nuts, which are located in the middle and at
the end of each bar. The bar can now be connected to a stand
or boom either directly or using the Posi-Lok adapter. For
European applications one of the unused adapters can be used
to adapt the Posi-Lok to a European 3/8-16 thread. There are
two extra 3/8-16 socket cap screws that you will only need in
the event that you later purchase a pair of 4038’s from AEA
and need to mount a pair of AEA 4038SA’s to this bar.

The bar can be attached directly to a vertical stand as
shown. Microphones can be mounted to hang from the bar
using the 5/8-27 thread of the TA-2s.

By cutting the foam insert in two, the TA-3 can be inserted
from the inside of the channel allowing the stand to be
mounted with microphones above the bar.
7.
The bar can be mounted to a boom using the Posi-Lok
adapter. The Posi-Lok is rigid enough to suspend the bar
and mics at a variety of angles, not just the hanging position
shown.
