Not A Good Value
I purchased one of these along with an On-Stage MY500 Dual Mic Mount.

The AEA Stereo Protractor is essentially a MY500; the knobs and attached, threaded shafts are identical, as are the 3-holed plates. Take a MY500, take away the center mounted "swivel" that threads onto a mic stand, add another nickel-plated lock-nut, then print a compass on each side of the MY500 and you'll have a Stereo Protractor.The Stereo Protractor is not as useful as I hoped; it is more difficult than I imagined--prior to purchasing both--to see how the axis of the mic aligns with any particular angle on either protractor.

Having purchased one AEA Stereo Protractor, I will not purchase another.

Save your money. Buy the On-Stage Stands MY500 Dual Mic Mount instead. Then print out a paper protractor, cut out the pie-slice for the angle you need and lay that over the top of the mics to align them so the centers of the mic shafts run along the edges of the pie-slice.
