International Orders*The Audix Piano Microphone System includes a matched pair of SCX-25A studio condenser microphones, Dflex microphone mounts, a pair of 20 foot Monster cables, and an aluminum road case. The SCX-25A microphones are matched in sensitivity and frequency response to provide accurate stereo reproduction of piano for recording and live sound application.
The Audix SCX-25 studio condenser microphone features a unique design to coincide with it's exceptional audio reproduction. The cardioid capsule is shock mounted within a machined brass ring. The result is complete isolation from the microphone body with significant reduction of noise caused by vibration, without an external shock mount. The SCX-25 yields a wide linear frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz, resulting in accurate signal reproduction, no matter the source.
The cardioid polar pattern effectively minimizes noise at the off-axis section of the microphone capsule, reducing ambient noise and feedback. The slim profile of the SCX-25 enables the microphone to be used in an array of instrument capturing applications as well as vocal reproduction. The SCX-25 excels in capturing piano, acoustic guitar, brass, xylophone (vibes), drum overheads, marimba, percussion and more.| Transducer | Condenser |

Comments about Audix SCX-25A Piano Microphone System:
great as a pair, wether close or far. balanced natural sound, but with a nice smoothness and warmth.
the mid size capsule makes it a great buy if you don't have a lot of different mics for vocals to drum overheads to piano to percussion.
the clips are well designed too!

Comments about Audix SCX-25A Piano Microphone System:
When I first got my grand piano I used a soundboard pickup which was OK for performing but not so great for recording. "Tinny" comes to mind. Then I spent years experimenting with overhead microphones and finally settled on a pair of Neuman KM183s in XY configuration. Nice but not easy. Every time I wanted to record it took me 1/2 day to find the sweet spot and then I could only record with the lid open, thereby restricting my ability to sing at the same time (bleeding sounds). So, after some hesitation I ordered the SCX-25A Audix system. I was worried that being placed so close to the strings there might be issues with hammer sounds and balanced sound spectrum. After an hour of trying various positions I on the piano I discovered they sounded great no matter where I put them. They sound as good or better than my KM183s. Once you are satisfied you just leave them in the piano. I cover them after using them to prevent dust pollution. Now I can close the piano lid and recording singing and playing simultaneously without sound bleeding. I record at home so I can only speak about non-studio usage but I am completely satisfied. Highly recommended.
