Cardioid Condenser Instrument Microphone

Designed, machined, assembled and tested by Audix in the USA, the Audix SCX1-C is a professional studio cardioid condenser microphone designed for a wide variety recording, broadcast, and live sound applications. Known for its sensitivity, pinpoint accuracy, low profile, and consistency, the SCX1-C is also available with hypercardioid (model SCX1-HC) or omnidirectional (model SCX1-O) capsules.

With a smooth uniform frequency response from 40 Hz - 20 kHz, the SCX1-C is very consistent when responding to on and off-axis signals, and exhibiting excellent phase coherence and minimal proximity effect. The SCX1-C is characterized with a wide cardioid polar pattern; this, coupled with the high output and sensitivity of the microphone, makes the SCX1-C an ideal choice for miking overhead, room ambience, orchestral sections, stringed instruments, piano, vibes, and sound effects.

Other features include a 21 mm gold vapor capsule miniaturized electronics, and an extremely small footprint. The SCX1-C will handle sound pressure levels of 130 dB and will provide up to 20 dB of ambient noise rejection. In addition to acoustical instruments, the SCX1-C is an excellent choice for group vocals, speech, or foley work.

The SCX1, which is manufactured to exacting standards and tight tolerances, features a precision machined brass body, interchangeable capsules, black e-coat finish, laser etched model and serial number, Switchcraft  XLR connector, and
