Audio-Technica AT8491P Magnetic Piano Mount

The Audio-Technica AT8491P Magnetic Piano Mount delivers secure, flexible microphone placement for professional piano recording. Designed specifically for use with Audio-Technica’s ATM350a cardioid condenser microphone system, this mount attaches directly to a piano’s cast iron frame or any suitable metal surface. As a result, engineers achieve consistent positioning without clamps or permanent modifications.
Moreover, the powerful magnetic base holds firmly during performances and recording sessions. The mount remains stable whether positioned vertically or horizontally, ensuring dependable microphone placement in demanding environments. At the same time, the design allows quick repositioning when tonal adjustments become necessary. This balance of strength and flexibility supports precise sound capture across various piano styles.
In addition, the AT8491P integrates seamlessly with Audio-Technica goosenecks. The included locking screw secures either the AT8490 5-inch or AT8490L 9-inch gooseneck into the mounting socket. Consequently, users maintain accurate microphone alignment throughout extended sessions. The gooseneck compatibility also enables fine adjustments near strings, soundboards, or hammers.
Furthermore, Audio-Technica protects the instrument with a felt-lined base. This thoughtful detail prevents scratches and surface damage during installation or repositioning. Therefore, the mount suits both studio and live environments where instrument care remains essential.
Ultimately, the Audio-Technica AT8491P offers a practical, non-invasive solution for piano miking. Its durable construction, reliable magnetic hold, and precise positioning capabilities make it an essential accessory for professional musicians and audio engineers seeking clean, repeatable results.
In conclusion, the Audio-Technica AT8491P Magnetic Piano Mount delivers reliable, instrument-safe microphone placement for professional piano applications.
