Audix A127 Omnidirectional Metal Film Condenser Microphone

The Audix A127 is an omnidirectional metal film condenser microphone, specifically designed to capture the most accurate and purest sound from acoustic instruments and other sources. Central to the Audix A127’s design is its low-noise Type 1 metal film capsule and precision-machined electro-mechanical components, making it a top performer for recording, broadcast, film, and sound design.

With a frequency response ranging from 10 Hz to 20 kHz and a wide dynamic range of 133 dB, the Audix A127 is built to excel in the most demanding applications. Its capsule design includes a precision-tuned 3-micron metal diaphragm, resulting in exceptionally accurate and stable response, with an ultra-low self-noise of just 7 dBA.

The microphone’s circuit is crafted to stringent specifications and features driven shields that protect it from external interference and capacitance coupling. The mechanical components, including the gold-plated shield and corrosion-resistant housing, are precision-machined by Audix in Wilsonville, Oregon.

The Audix A127 boasts a reference-grade capsule (Type 1 IEC 61094-4 compliant) with a precision-tensioned metal film diaphragm, offering consistent and reliable performance even in the most challenging environments. The half-inch diaphragm size represents the “sweet spot” for acoustic sound capture, making it the standard for acoustic measurement. The ultra-thin 3-micron metal film diaphragm provides excellent transient response and captures a level of detail and realism that is unattainable with conventional diaphragm materials.
