Piano System includes 2 SCX25A condenser microphon es

The Audix SCX25APS is a dedicated piano microphone system built around two SCX25A condenser microphones. It addresses a demanding live-sound problem: reproducing a piano while other instruments and ambient sources are present nearby. The system also includes DFLEX mounting clips that attach directly to the piano rail and support secure microphone placement anywhere on the soundboard.

Ideal Use Cases

This system is suited to live performances where a piano must be captured alongside other instruments. In these environments, nearby sound can bleed into piano microphones and complicate reproduction of the instrument. The SCX25APS provides two condenser microphones and a piano-specific mounting arrangement for this application.

It is particularly relevant when the piano is played with its lid in a short-stick or closed-lid position to help address sound leakage. Because the DFLEX clips mount to the piano rail, the microphones can remain positioned on the soundboard within these configurations. The system can also serve applications that require two SCX25A microphones to be placed at different locations across the soundboard.

Why Choose This Model

The SCX25APS combines the principal components identified for piano capture in one system: two matching SCX25A condenser microphones and accompanying DFLEX mounting clips. This pairing gives the operator two microphone positions while retaining the same microphone model at both locations.

Its defining practical feature is the mounting method. The supplied clips are designed to attach directly to the piano rail and hold each SCX25A securely. Placement is not limited to one stated point; the source information specifies that the microphones can be positioned anywhere on the soundboard. That flexibility allows placement to be adapted to the instrument, lid position, and live-performance arrangement.

Installation and Integration

Installation centers on the included DFLEX mounting clips. Each clip is attached directly to the piano rail, after which the SCX25A microphones can be placed securely at the selected soundboard locations. This direct attachment supports positioning inside the piano rather than prescribing a single fixed microphone location.

The two microphones may be positioned according to the areas of the soundboard the operator intends to capture. Because the clips support placement anywhere on the soundboard, the setup can be adjusted when the piano configuration changes. This is useful when moving between short-stick and closed-lid operation or when nearby instruments require reconsideration of microphone placement.

No connectivity, power, cable, connector, or electrical specifications are provided in the available product data. Those details should therefore be confirmed against the Audix SCX25APS specification sheet when planning integration with a particular audio system.

Performance Highlights

The performance focus of the SCX25APS is piano reproduction in situations where ambient sound and nearby instruments create microphone bleed. Its two SCX25A condenser microphones provide two available capture positions, while the DFLEX clips allow those positions to be established directly at the piano rail and soundboard.

The system does not require the microphones to be confined to a single identified area of the soundboard. This placement range is a central advantage when working with the acoustical and physical variables of a piano. The supplied information does not state frequency response, polar pattern, sensitivity, maximum sound-pressure level, or self-noise figures, so no numerical performance claims are made here.

What Makes It Different

Rather than presenting the microphones without a piano-specific mounting method, the SCX25APS includes DFLEX clips intended for direct attachment to the piano rail. The combination of two SCX25A condenser microphones and these mounting clips makes the system specifically organized around piano use.

The ability to place the microphones securely anywhere on the soundboard distinguishes the system's installation approach. It directly addresses the need to work within the piano, including short-stick and closed-lid configurations used when sound leakage is a concern. The result is a coordinated package identified by one model and MPN, SCX25APS.

Final Assessment

The Audix SCX25APS is a focused choice for capturing piano during live performances where nearby instruments and ambient sound make microphone placement challenging. Its known configuration is straightforward: two SCX25A condenser microphones accompanied by DFLEX mounting clips. Direct piano-rail attachment and secure placement anywhere on the soundboard give the system its practical value, especially when working with short-stick or closed-lid piano setups.
