via  a  5-pin  XLR  connector.  The 

bottom of the electronics box has 

two  XLR-3  connectors  that  will 

connect the microphone outputs to 

the preamp inputs of your mixer.

13. Notice that the top of each 

microphone head has a number. 

These numbers correspond to 

the numbers on the bottom of the 

electronics box. Depending upon 

how the PianoMic™ is placed in 

the piano the high strings will be 

indicated by either the number 1 

or number 2. Once the PianoM-

ic™ has been placed, identify the 

microphone numbers on the mic 

heads for both the high and low 

strings and remember that they correspond to the numbers on the bottom of the 

electronics box. This will allow you to correctly identify the microphone signals 

for high and low strings that are connected to the preamps of your mixer. Re-

member that the PianoMic™ requires 48-volt phantom power.

14. There are two ways to mount the electronics box: (1) in a leather pouch 

strapped to the leg of the piano, or (2) attached to a short microphone stand. 

The PianoMic™ System comes equipped to install the electronics box in 

either of these two ways.
