ASSEMBLING & DISASSEMBLING THE TOURING PIANOMIC

The PianoMic

 System is quick and easy to install. Once you have initially set up 

the PianoMic

 System you will be able to do it from that point on in just a few 

minutes. Here are some helpful guidelines:

CAUTION – the microphone heads and goosenecks are permanently at-

tached to the two PianoMic

 telescoping tubes and cannot be moved, or re-

moved. Once assembled, the distance between the two goosenecks is fixed 

at 16 inches (one-third of the width of a piano keyboard). 

Check that all items are included with your Touring PianoMic

 System by using 

the list of “Items Enclosed” on page one of this manual.

TO ASSEMBLE

1.  Remove the two PianoMic

 telescoping bars from the  case.  Notice that on 

each of the two telescoping bars, there is a special XLR type connector.  There 

is a rotating collar next to the special XLR type connector on the telescoping bar 

that has a cable coming out of one end, (see Section B in Fig 1-A).

2.  Rotate the collar on the XLR connector so it is snug against the connector 

cover, but not too tight. (Fig. 1-B)

Figure 1-B

Rotate collar all the way

to the right.

3.  Next, rotate the collar two turns in the opposite direction (moving it away from 

the connector cover toward the connector pins). (Fig. 1-C)

4.  Now, take the two PianoMic

 telescoping sections and mate the connectors 

just like you would mate a standard XLR connector (see Fig. 1-D).  First mate 

the keyways and then push the connectors together until you hear a “click.”  If 

you do not hear a click, then change the position of the rotating collar and try to 

mate the two sections again.

Mate the two sections

by pushing until you 

hear a click.

5.  Once you have heard the click when mating the two sections, rotate the collar 

until it is firmly positioned against the mating connector cover (finger tight).  At 

this point two sections should be firmly attached and will not be loose or wiggle. 

(Fig. 1-E)

firmly against the left connector body

TO DISASSEMBLE

7.  To disassemble the PianoMic, rotate the collar between the XLR connectors 

the full distance from its mating half until it is snuggly against the right connec-

tor body as shown in Fig. 1-F.  

Figure 1-F

Rotate collar all the way 

to the right connector body

8.  Then grab the two mating connectors (one with each hand) and pull the two 

sections apart as shown in Fig. 1-G.  

Do not pull apart holding onto the telescop-

ing tubes.

by holding onto each connector body

9.  Collapse the telescoping bars and place them in the carrying case along with 

the electronics box and leather pouch. Now you’re ready to take your PianoMic

 

to the next gig.
