Audio-Technica AT8491P Magnetic piano mount

Product Overview

The Audio-Technica AT8491P is a magnetic piano mount that attaches a gooseneck-equipped ATM350a condenser microphone to a metal surface such as the cast iron frame of a piano. It supports both vertical and horizontal placement while staying securely in position, yet remains easy to reposition. A felt-lined base protects the instrument finish from damage. This mount is a purpose-built accessory for miking acoustic pianos in live performance and recording environments.

Product Description

The Audio-Technica AT8491P magnetic piano mount solves the problem of positioning a microphone inside or on a piano without clamps or stands that obstruct the player.

Its magnetic base attaches firmly to the piano's metal frame, and whether set up vertically or horizontally, the mount stays where it is placed while still allowing easy repositioning. The mounting socket includes a locking screw that secures an AT8490 5-inch or AT8490L 9-inch gooseneck (sold separately), letting engineers fine-tune microphone placement over the strings or soundboard. The felt lining on the base prevents scratching or marring of the instrument's finish, an important consideration for valuable concert and studio pianos. Designed specifically for the ATM350a cardioid condenser instrument microphone, the AT8491P delivers a discreet, low-profile mounting solution for stage, broadcast, and recording applications. It is a reliable choice for houses of worship, theaters, and studios that regularly mic grand and upright pianos. You can find the Audio-Technica AT8491P magnetic piano mount and compatible goosenecks at Creation Networks. The mount keeps cabling and hardware clear of the keyboard and player for a clean stage presentation.
