About Earthworks PM40

Take your audio recording and live performance to the next level with the Earthworks PM40 Omnidirectional High Definition Piano Microphone System. Specifically engineered to enhance the acoustic quality of your piano, this system eliminates the need for mic stands or booms, offering a streamlined setup for both live and recording applications.

Experience a significant boost in gain before feedback, and enjoy a drastic reduction in sound leakage from surrounding instruments. This system ensures pristine, high-definition sound quality, regardless of whether the piano lid is up or down.

At the core of the PM40 system are two Random Incidence, omnidirectional, 40 kHz High Definition Microphones. These microphones boast a wide frequency response range of 9 Hz to 40 kHz, delivering an extraordinary impulse response and extremely short diaphragm settling times. This means you can capture the true essence of your piano's sound with unparalleled clarity and precision.

The PM40 microphones are designed to exhibit no proximity effect, ensuring consistent audio capture regardless of their distance from the piano strings or soundboard. When positioned close to the sound source, these microphones provide exceptional gain before feedback, making them an ideal choice for capturing the rich, resonant tones of your piano.

In essence, the Earthworks PM40 Omnidirectional High Definition Piano Microphone System is a game-changer for musicians and audio professionals seeking to capture the purest, most authentic sound from their piano.
