Evno ACX2 Accordion Microphone

The EVNO ACX2 external 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. 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 microphone system can be used wired or wirelessly.  The Evno ACX2 is shipped with the PS95 power supply for wired use while still being adaptable and ready to use with Evno, Shure, AKG, or Sennheiser wireless systems.    (AKG and Sennheiser cables ordered separately to mate the microphone with another brand wireless or available in a package with the microphone and cable for customers who already own an Evno, AKG, Shure, or Sennheiser system.) The included cable with the ACX2 system works both with the Evno PS95 phantom power adapter, and Shure wireless transmitters.  By-pass the cable to connect to Evno clip-on wireless transmitters. Additional packages include the ACX2 system with Evno Wireless or the ACX2 microphone setup directly for use with Shure, AKG, or Sennheiser wireless systems. The complete Evno ACX2 setup includes an Evno PS95 power supply / preamp, 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.
