From day 2:

One of the markets best microphones for close-up micking of instruments. This model is a matched par for placing inside the piano.
These microphone has magnetic rubber covered mounts, making it easy to mount the microphones optimally on the cast iron frame inside the piano.
Other features ore:
* Superior Gain-before-feedback and low destortion due to very high SPL
* Compatible with the market leeding wireless microphone systems
* Flexible "goos neck" which makes it easy to adjust for optimal sound without hindering the performance
* The design of the clip makes it easy to mount, even with one hand
* The clip is very gentle to the instrument without coming lose, even at very expressionistic performances.
* Type:
Matched microphone par
* Directional characteristics:
Supercardioid
* Principle of operation:
Pressure gradient
* Cartridge type:
Pre-polarized condenser
* Frequency range:
20 Hz to 20 kHz
