6. Once you have determined which placement will provide you with the abil-
ity to have the microphone heads two to three inches in front of the dampers,
you are ready to place the PianoMic™ System inside the piano. With the bar
fully extended and the clutch adjusted where there is still a little friction, place
the support bracket on the edge of the piano case opposite you. Then push on
the bar until the PianoMic™ is the correct length to allow the support bracket
to easily rest on the edge of the piano case nearest to you.
7. With the PianoMic™ in place, you will need to determine if you want the
microphones to favor the high strings, low strings or neither. The center sec-
tion of the PianoMic™ can slide up to eight inches in either direction in order
to favor the high or low strings, if desired. This positioning is illustrated in
Figures 9 and 10.
8. Once you have positioned the PianoMic™ center section, tighten both clutches
to insure that the PianoMic™ bar stays in place.
9. With the PianoMic™ in place, you can move the flex arms attached to the mi-
crophone heads several inches to the left or to the right to achieve your desired
placement (See Figure 11).
10. The flex arms also allow you to adjust the height of the microphone heads as
shown in Figure 12. It is suggested that you place the microphone heads two to
three inches above the piano strings.
