[Hypercardioid] Very pleased with this mic kit. Especially the sound of the overhead mics. The kick mic is exceptional too!

[Mono] When I first got my grand piano I used a soundboard pickup which was OK for performing but not so great for recording. Tinny comes to mind. Then I spent years experimenting with overhead microphones and finally settled on a pair of Neuman KM183s in XY configuration. Nice but not easy. Every time I wanted to record it took me 1/2 day to find the sweet spot and then I could only record with the lid open, thereby restricting my ability to sing at the same time (bleeding sounds). So, after some hesitation I ordered the SCX-25A Audix system. I was worried that being placed so close to the strings there might be issues with hammer sounds and balanced sound spectrum. After an hour of trying various positions I on the piano I discovered they sounded great no matter where I put them. They sound as good or better than my KM183s. Once you are satisfied you just leave them in the piano. I cover them after using them to prevent dust pollution. Now I can close the piano lid and recording singing and playing simultaneously without sound bleeding. I record at home so I can only speak about non-studio usage but I am completely satisfied. Highly recommended.

[End Address] great as a pair, wether close or far. balanced natural sound, but with a nice smoothness and warmth. the mid size capsule makes it a great buy if you don't have a lot of different mics for vocals to drum overheads to piano to percussion. the clips are well designed too!

[End Address] This kit is perfect, and for an excellent price. The mics sound fantastic and offer some flexibility not found in the usual suspects when it comes to drum mics. For example, the kick mic having two phase aligned capsules and being able to record each simultaneously and then mix them to taste. is wonderful in practice It also offers a few different sound flavor settings depending on how you are using it. The overheads are small and light, and also offer a couple of options. I've used an SM57 on snare for decades so I'm very familiar with it, but I really like the similar sound of the snare mic. The build quality is extremely good, and it comes in an awesome heavy duty case to keep everything tidy and safe and sound when not in use. I really couldn't be much happier with this kit in relation to my old setup ((C314s, Beta 52, SM57, e604s) and the only thing I can think of that I don't like is that the clip holders for toms/snare are a bit tough to get on relative to the e604 holders. I highly recommended the Lewitt Beatkit Pro.

[Hypercardioid] Simply put..My favourite microphone for kick and talking drums.

[Solid-State] B&H always comes thru, this mic stand is great for kick! Fit exactly where I needed it to!!

[Solid-State] works like a rock, the way it's supposed to. nice and heavy. haven't had any problems at all.

[Hypercardioid] Sturdy as advertised, low profile, quick and easy to mount, move and take off. Mine came with a heavy plastic mic clip unlike the thinner kind (which can break easy) as pictured. The only problem with these clips is once you have everything in place and wired it is difficult to adjust the height of the mic. It's easiest to un-patch the XLR then readjust the height. Otherwise, a really great mount for your D series mics.

[Hypercardioid] Well, it doesn't look that great in the pictures, does it ? Indeed, I doubt it would have occurred to me to BUY one, until TWO of them arrived over a year ago as part of my superb Audix SCX25A matched pair piano miking kit. From that moment on, I found myself constantly reaching for them (rather than my vast inventory of other clamps) whenever the need arose to mount all sorts of things in all sorts of less conventional places. That they're fabulous for mics is a given, but these clamps are ALSO unmatched, in my long experience, for the secure clamping of more exotic things, such as mini cams and wireless mic antennae. Perhaps the best testimony I can give in terms of just HOW useful they've been (and what good value for money they represent) is me telling you that I now own a total of six.

[0.68 lb] I mixed monitors for a famous jazz pianist and His foh engineer brought these in. They sound awsome! every note clear in the mix no feedback. was actually asked to bring them down once or twice :-)
