AUDIX MICRO CONDENSERS
April 2003—Audix launches its Micro Series condenser mics with the M1245 and 1290 cardioid models.

AUDIX M1245

The mics require standard 48VDC phantom and handle 150-foot cable runs without signal loss. A variety of polar patterns are available, from cardioid, hypercardioid and omni, to shotguns.

AUDIX M-SERIES
August 2002—The new M-Series miniature condenser mics from Audix have a 12mm capsule housed in a compact, 90mm-long body, with internal FET electronics based around the company's popular SCX-1 preamp. Optional interchangeable capsules offer users the choice of cardioid, hypercardioid or omni patterns. The mic (with one capsule) retails at $399; a version with pad and LF roll-off switches is $499.

AUDIX SCX-25 CONDENSER
May 2001—The SCX-25 from Audix is a studio condenser mic with a new suspension-mounting system that effectively isolates the capsule from the housing and electronics. This both minimizes reflective surfaces and maximizes phase coherence, while eliminating the need for an external shock-mount. Featuring a 25mm, gold-sputtered diaphragm, 135dB SPL handling, a 20-20k Hz response and a low-noise preamp design, the SCX-25 provides a wide cardioid pattern and an “open” sound usually only found in much larger (and more expensive) classic microphones. The mic requires standard 48-52V phantom power, measures 5.5 inches in length and weighs 8 ounces. Price: $799. To read the review, click here.

The ADX-20i operates on 9-52VDC phantom power supplied by the APS-910 preamp module or can be battery powered. Machined from solid brass, the ADX-20i features Audix's hallmark E-coat finish and retails for $249.

AUDIX VX-10
October 2000—Audix's flagship handheld vocal condenser mic is designed for a wide variety of live, studio and broadcast applications.

Operation requires phantom power of 48 to 52 volts. The VX-10 can handle sound pressure levels of 140 dB without distortion and will additionally provide over 20 dB of ambient noise rejection for feedback control on live stages. Retail is $599, including stand adapter and external foam windscreen. To read the review, click here.
