Earthworks PM40 revolutionises piano miking with the intent in achieving incredible piano sound for live and recording applications with no mic stands or booms. The PianoMic system significantly reduces leakage from surrounding instruments and improves gain before feedback producing pristine sound quality with the piano lid either up or down. Two random Incidence, omnidirectional, 40 kHz High definition microphones lie in the heart of the system and with a frequency response of 9Hz to 40Hz, the mics deliver astonishing impulse response and exceptionally short diaphragm setting times.
