Great little sturdy and mobile stereo bar
I'm a field recordist and I have used this bar a lot, and dragged it everywhere in the world, into the Savannah, rain forest, Subarctic Tundra, cities, and in the studio. I like it so much, I actually just bought a second one.
It's simplicity is it's strenght. just a strong and sturdy bar that fits into most backpacks, and can take quite a beating. It has the perfect lenght to set up an AB setup, omni or Cardioid, and the middle holes allow you to do an XY or ORTF, and you can put both of those on together.
The connections are great for most microphones, even with small blimps. It's also easy to quickly readjust the mic position. My only problem with it is that is not ideal for mounting two big blimps on for outdoor recording in the wild. While it works, the screws loosen slightly every time you move the setup, and you are readjusting the rig every time. But in all other uses, small blimps, no blimps, it works very well, as long as you can live with the fact that you have to estimate the angles and distances of your mics a bit.
I often just use small lavaliers on it as an Omni AB, and just connect the mics with a bit of electrical tape, or a custom made clip.
For on the road (or rather, off the road), and for this price, this is a great little stereo bar.

Affordable though perhaps a little inflexible
We use this all the time for four-mic arrays (e.g. AB omnis flanking an ORTF or XY pair). The maximum width is on the small side for AB imaging, and the middle two threads can be a little far apart for ORTF but on the whole it affords quick setup and is well made.

very high quality bar
Using stereo bar saves me a stand which is very handy when there is a lot to set up.
The K&M products are fantastic, I have bought every single model !

Good tool for holding mics
Didn't use as i intended buy it pure metal not plastic
Will begin to use it to keep wireless mic, in place during service. It can hold up to 4 microphones.

K&M 236
I've found this larger T bar very useful when working with wider near coincident stereo techniques but also as a tool to help put together larger arrays such as a Decca Tree. As with all the K&M kit i've used the product is well made, durable and good value.

Stable and funktional microphone bar
The K&M 23600 is a very stable and functional bar for four microphones. It's build out of metal, with black finish. The microphone clamps can bei fixed with 3/8" locking screws, and the bar itself is mounted in a standard microphone stand, also 3/8". I'm using the bar to store four microphones at school after the lessons, so that they're always in right place. It also can be used for special recording situations (overhead stereo etc.). Great product!
