Piano can be one of the most challenging instruments to capture, particularly in a live performance where there are other instruments. The SCX25A, in addition to producing a highly transparent and remarkably accurate sound, is designed so that it can be easily positioned parallel to the soundboard. To make getting great sound easy, Audix provides the Dflex mounting clip (which attaches directly to the rail of the piano), enabling the microphone to be placed securely. In a live sound environment, other instruments often bleed into the piano mics. In order to compensate for this sound leakage, most are played in either the short stick or closed lid position. The SCX25A, with its low profile, is a tremendous microphone for this application. The SCX25A has earned a reputation for the most compact large diaphragm condenser microphone on the market, and the piano package includes two SCX25A mics, 2 Dflex mounting clips, and 2 high quality quad conductor microphone cable with braided shield to help reduce noise induction from external sources. The SCX25A-PS piano system puts a top-quality stereo piano microphone system within reach.
