The Audix A231 is a large diaphragm condenser microphone crafted for the most discerning studio professionals. Equipped with an externally-biased “true condenser” capsule and low-noise circuitry, it captures the subtle nuances of the human voice and the rich overtones of acoustic instruments with natural warmth and stunning detail. Its highly consistent cardioid polar pattern ensures focused performance with smooth off-axis rejection.

The Audix A231 features a 33 mm condenser capsule with a precision-tensioned diaphragm made from a specially formulated, heat-treated film with gold evenly deposited to the far edges, providing a 25% larger effective diaphragm area compared to typical large diaphragm microphones.

The double-woven steel mesh grille minimizes acoustic reflections and diffractions, ensuring transparent sound capture, while the internal shock mount isolates the capsule from mechanical vibrations, eliminating the need for an external shock mount. Proprietary impedance control between the capsule and circuitry guarantees consistent and reliable performance across diverse environments.

The Audix A231 is designed, machined, assembled, and tested by Audix in Wilsonville, Oregon.
