PIANI-2 Stereo Windshield Kit

The Pianissimo is mainly designed for the new generation of short shotgun microphones and coincident stereo, surround sound combinations and in fact all kind of mics shorter than 21cm. Easily transported, the Pianissimo is very light, robust and adaptable, with all the recognised qualities of the existcing range of Cinela windshields.

Very light and unbreakable cage. Constructed in two parts, the lower and upper pieces clip together at six points by simple friction. Aerodynamic ovoid shape and maximum internal volume around microphone acoustic sections for high wind resistance. The primary covering is a 2mm thick 3D fabric to provide a very good first level wind protection for a total acoustic transparency.

Like all the other versions, there are additional protective covers available, Long and short fur and the very effective Kelly rain cover.

The standard versions (PIANI-1, PIANI-2, PIANI-3) have XLR outputs on 3, 5, and 7 pin connectors. For the mono version the cable connection is a direct XLRM-XLRF. All the other versions have intermediate Binder connections. It is even possible to use up to 4 channels via two Binder panels and outputting on 3mm multi-conductor cable. An upgrade is easily accomplished by removing the central part and passing the XLRM through the opening.

The Pianissimo comes with an tough protective transparent shell made from poly-carbonate.

Key Features:

• Very light yet durable cage constructed in two parts. Its upper and lower halves are held together at six points by simple friction.
• Aerodynamic ovoid shape and maximum internal space around the microphone for high wind resistance. The primary covering is a special two-millimeter-thick texturized fabric that surrounds the cage, providing effective first-level wind protection with acoustic transparency.
• The central support has two positions, which enable fitting different suspension for various microphones and combinations.
• 8 in (21 cm) microphone on the first fixing point at the rear of the support. The mono version using the new OSIX series with elliptical isolators. Total interchangeability of suspensions between PIANO, PIANISSIMO, and OSIX (7,8, and 9).
• Standard PIANO 1 swivel, single axis with XLR holder. The swivel is tightened using a toothed wheel, which permits a firm grip with light force.
• The secret second swivel, only adjustable with the help of a screwdriver is useful for stereo applications. The swivel and cable turn in a block on the central axis. As standard, unlike the PIANO, the PIANISSIMO turns on both axes, but can be locked for mono use.
• The PIANISSIMO comes with a virtually unbreakable transparent shell made from polycarbonate.
