Product Description
Audix SCX25APS Piano Miking System With A Pair Of Scx25A Large Diaphragm Condensers
Reproduction of piano sound is extremely challenging, particularly during live performances when other instruments are present. Ambient sounds near the piano often bleed into the piano microphones. To circumvent sound leakage, the piano is often played in the short-stick or closed-lid positions. The SCX25A large-diaphragm studio condenser microphone produces a highly transparent and remarkably accurate sound. This attribute combined with the SCX25A’s low profile and phase-coherent reproduction makes the SCX25A the optimum piano microphone for live sound or broadcast environments.
To further enhance the ease of placement, two DFLEX mounting clips accompany the SCX25A and can be easily attached directly to the piano rail, enabling the SCX25A to be securely placed anywhere on the soundboard.
The SCX25A studio condenser microphone is undeniably the most compact, large-diaphragm microphone on the market. It boasts an innovative design and patented capsule system. This pack includes two high-quality, quad conductor microphone cables with braided shielding which helps reduce noise induction from external sources.

OVERVIEW Piano is one of the most challenging instruments to reproduce, particularly in a live performance where there are other instruments on stage. The SCX25A is designed so that it can be easily positioned parallel to the soundboard. To further enhance ease of placement, Audix provides the DFLEX mounting clip which attaches directly to the rail of the piano, enabling the microphone to be placed securely just about anywhere on the soundboard. In a live sound or broadcast environment, the instruments surrounding the piano will often bleed into the piano mics. In order to compensate for this sound leakage, it requires the piano to be played in either the short stick or closed lid position. The SCX25A is a low profile and phase coherent reproduction is the best microphone for this application. The SCX25A is a professional studio condenser microphone with an elegant design and a patented capsule suspension system. Uniquely Shock mounted within an intricate machined brass ring, the SCX25A capsule is completely isolated from the mic body and electronics. By successfully minimizing acoustic reflections and diffractions, the SCX25A delivers a pure, open-air sound with exceptional detail and realism. The SCX25A is manufactured with a precision machined brass body, innovative capsule suspension system, steel mesh grill, black multi-layer class ‘A’ liquid finish and gold plated XLR connector.
