Earthworks PM40T - PianoMic System Touring Model

Earthworks PM40T Touring PianoMic System

The Earthworks PM40T is the touring vesion of the PM40, this microphone system is designed for pianos and the unique engineering on this mic allows you to open or closed lid miking, the PianoMic is ideal for a wide range of miking situations. In a recording studio with no other instruments, the PianoMic shines with the lid open. When in more crowded settings such as on a concert stage shared with other instruments, merely close the piano lid to isolate the piano and minimize leakage. In both scenarios the PianoMic will capture the piano with incredible detail.

At the heart of the PianoMic are two random incidence omnidirectional microphones, specifically designed for use inside of a piano, which is a diffuse sound field. This means that sound is coming at the microphones from multiple sources and multiple directions. A random-incidence microphone is designed to be placed within such a diffuse sound field and pick up sounds uniformly, whether they arrive at the front, the sides or the rear of the microphone. The PianoMic System achieves much of its remarkable performance through the use of specially designed, 40kHz random-incidence High Definition Microphones.

Features

• Touring Model
• Cannot be seen from outside of the piano (needs no stands or mic booms)
• Superb sound with the piano lid either up or down
• Virtually no leakage from sounds outside the piano
• Incredible gain before feedback
• Recording studios can now record piano with other instruments in the same room
