Evno ACX2-Air - Compact Wireless Accordion Microphone

The EVNO ACX2-Air is an external compact accordion microphone system is designed and manufactured by hand in the USA. The microphone is designed specifically to be used on the right hand of piano, button, and chromatic accordions of all sizes. The double microphone systems allows for the full range of the accordion while a special design circuit allows the lower tones of a tone chambered instrument, which often require more air to produce louder volume levels, to stand out. The microphone will allow you to be heard as you sound without coloration, giving the audience a true representation of the sound of the instrument. Compact yet powerful professional wireless system, perfect for travel. Complete with 1/4 inch output ideal for microphone inputs and D.I. boxes.  The Air system is ideal for quick setups and travel while maintaining a high sonic quality in combination with an Evno designed microphone.  Using the same technology as the W1 and W2 systems the Air is Evno’s compact version.  Folding antennas and a small footprint allow for portability in a compact setup.  Powered by a provided 9V power supply the system also offers a battery option for power.  Using 2 (AA) batteries in the receiver powers the system for 4 hours of continuous use in situations where the power is not available making it possible to use the system in remote locations as needed.   The Air system is available in the 900-928MHz range for the United States, Brazil, Canada, and other free frequency regions while the 823-832Mhz range is setup for most territories in Europe. **see chart below for more information.  The Air is a 99 channel system, the channels are changed via a sync process that sends the channel change from the receiver to the transmitter and can be changed in seconds as needed.  Compatible with A1, A2, AH, and A4 transmitters *dependent on region and availability.  The Air system is shipped with an aluminum carrying case for protection however is small enough to pack in a horn case or carry-on for ease of travel.  The system in combination with an Evno microphone produces the most natural reproduction of an acoustic instrument on the market.  The ACX2 is the perfect choice from solo performance settings, principal soloist’s in all genres, to high energy bands of all styles.  From orchestral musicians to jazz, folk, klezmer, and polka the ACX2 will give you a setup where all the nuances of the instrument can be heard.  Each genre and player has a different sound and by keeping the microphone flatly EQ’d, you’ll sound like YOU sound without coloration.  The system can be used in low to high volume applications without the worry of saturating the element due to volume or high end feedback from surrounding instruments.   The ACX2 microphone is built independent from the clamp which allows removal of the microphone and transmitter if using wireless to be quickly packed away after a performance.   The Evno designed clamp is mounted to the grill of an accordion with several options.  The preferred option is by placing two screws through any preexisting holes in the grill. A small hole through the grill cloth maybe necessary. The included screws are small and will screw into the bottom of the clamp while the screw and washer hold the clamp onto the grill from the inside of the accordion.  The clamp can be left on the grill after removing the microphone for quick setups in the future.  The placement of the clamp would be selected by preference or where openings in the grill would allow attachment. If the grill doesn’t have a useable hole for two screws, an optional velcro strap is included to feed into the grill and back around to the clamp for attachment.  Openings on the grill will be needed for this mounting system and it maybe required to cut the grill cloth again for an opening. The double flex-stay gooseneck allows movement of the microphones away from the body of the instrument as desired. The microphone is easy to place on and take off the instrument with a screw tightening clamp. The accordion can be set down on its side without disturbance from external jacks of any kind. The microphone itself is built with perfect venting as well as a highly attractive machining process creating a beautiful look while allowing the frequencies of the instrument to fully be captured by the microphone itself.  Suspended in two standard variable 7 point suspensions, the microphone allows for simple and easy replacements of the O rings as needed.  The microphone body is terminated with a 3 pin mini XLR connection which is used for both wired and wireless connections.   The complete Evno ACX2-Air setup includes an Evno Air Wireless System, Evno ACX2-CL Clamp, ACX2 Double Microphone, case, and cable.  XLR cables to connect from the PS95 power supply to a mixing console not included. A standard XLR / Mic cable is required.
