Audix SCX1 Cardioid Condenser Microphone

The Audix SCX1 is a professional studio cardioid condenser microphone with a smooth, uniform frequency response from 40 Hz to 20 kHz, ensuring consistent performance with both on and off-axis signals. It boasts excellent phase coherence and minimal proximity effect, making it a reliable choice for various recording scenarios.

The Audix SCX1’s wide cardioid polar pattern, combined with its high output and sensitivity, makes it ideal for miking overheads, drums, instruments, room ambiance, orchestral sections, stringed instruments, piano, vibes, and sound effects. The SCX1HC variant, with its hypercardioid capsule, is particularly favoured for miking hi-hats, both in live and studio settings.

Key features of the Audix SCX1 include a 21 mm gold vapor capsule, miniaturized electronics, and an extremely small footprint, allowing it to handle sound pressure levels up to 130 dB while providing up to 20 dB of ambient noise rejection.

Beyond acoustic instruments, the SCX1 is also well-suited for group vocals, speech, or Foley work. The Audix SCX1HC has become a go-to choice for interior dialogue boom pole miking due to its precision and reliability.

The microphone features a precision-machined brass body, interchangeable capsules, a black multi-layer class ‘A’ liquid finish, and a gold-plated XLR connector. The Audix SCX1 is manufactured to exacting standards and tight tolerances, ensuring top-notch quality and durability.

Designed, machined, assembled, and tested by Audix in the USA, the SCX1 represents the pinnacle of professional microphone engineering.
