BEST piano mic system ever!
Here's a sound-demo video where I showcase my 10 reasons why this is the best mic system in 2022 and beyond. :)
A must have for pianos!
Just buy them already
I'm a trained pianist at the doctoral level, teach at a university and work as a producer making ad/tv music. I recently got a 9 ft yamaha concert grand in my living room and these mics are better than anything I've used in the past (Neumann, Schoeps, etc). They are obviously a close mic sound so it won't be like hanging mics (which I never liked anyway). They do a good job of avoiding bleed and can really change depending on how far down you place them on the strings so there is some flexibility for sound. I might add a room mic to get natural reverb.
But the biggest thing for me is how they are always set up and ready to go with perfectly positioned mics, nothing kills me more than long setups I tended to use a vst just because it was easier.
Sounding Board
My favorite piano mic system!
Things to be aware of with this kit..
- The connection cable to the DI box is a bit fragile, so handle with care! I think the second version of this kit (comes in the silver box) has a better connection cable design.
- People tend to not see the mic is in the piano, and stage hands or enthusiastic talent will push the piano with the mic bar attached and not realize it! A testament to it's low profile.
- The mic system gets in the way of extended piano work... I usually opt for DPA 4099 or 4061 kits when extended technique is on the program.

What Do Our In-house Gear Experts Think?
Joseph Secu
This mic system is amazing! It's the best sounding set of mics for piano recording I've ever heard. The recording sounded exactly like the piano did live. If you have a recording studio or you have a piano that needs to be mic-ed, this is the ultimate sollution.
