Techniques For Recording The Grand Piano.

On A Budget The AUDIX OM-6, Placed With 2 Above The Harp Approximately 10~12 inches Pointing Straight Down. By Positioning Both Microphones On The Dividing Bars Of The Piano Using Clip-on Flex Mic Clips And With A Little Experimentation On Your Part With Regards To Microphone Placement. You Will Find A Faithful Reproduction Of The Piano. With The Tight Cardioid Pattern, And With A 40~19Khz Response Combined With Their Off Axis Rejection, They Are Simply Amazing!

For Those Whose Budget Allows, The AUDIX SCX25A Is In My Opinion, Superior To ANY Acoustic Piano Microphone Available Today!, By Far The Recording Engineers Who Have Used The AUDIX SCX25A, Also Known As The AUDIX Lollipop, Have Discovered An EXACT Reproduction Of The Grand Piano! The Placement Is Less Experimentation Than With The OM-6. The AUDIX SCX25A, Has A Very Large Diaphragm And A Extremely Smooth 20~20Khz Frequency Response.

To Obtain Optimum Range, You Will Still Need Two. Placed On The Dividing Bars Of The Grand Piano But, Audix Has A Great Clip-on For This Purpose. By The Way, If You Ever Get To See A Close-up Of The Inside Of Paul McCartney’s Own Touring Grand Piano, You Will See; Two AUDIX SCX25A, Lollipops.

A Great Feature Of The AUDIX SCX25A Is, The Design Allows The Lid Of The Piano To Be Closed!
