Earthworks PM40T Product DescriptionThe Earthworks PM40T PianoMic™, design for the "touring" pianist includes an “airline friendly” carrying case and has a locking XLR connector in the center to pull it apart into two pieces. The PM40T PianoMic™ has quickly become the microphone system of choice for miking grand pianos for live performance,
recording studios and churches. Live piano
performances on stage or in churches enjoy the best
piano sound ever with incredible gain before feedback
and no mic stands or booms. Recording studios
can now record piano in the same room with other
instruments with minimal leakage. The telescoping
bar allows the PianoMic™ to be quickly and easily
installed in nearly all grand pianos.
It all started when sound contractors informed us that they had tried all types of microphones and microphone pickup systems for pianos in churches. They didn’t like the sound they were getting, they didn’t like the microphone stands in front of the piano, they couldn’t get enough sound level before feedback and they were also getting leakage from nearby instruments into the piano microphones. In addition, engineers in recording studios told us how difficult it was to record an acoustic piano in the same room with other instruments. When we let churches and recording studios take the PianoMic prototype for a test drive they were amazed and said it was an absolute winner, hands down! If you have a piano in a church, performing arts center or in a recording studio you too will be amazed when you see and hear the new Earthworks PianoMic™ System
