The Audix SCX1 is a premium studio-grade cardioid condenser microphone engineered for a wide range of recording, broadcast, and live sound applications. Renowned for its high sensitivity, pinpoint accuracy, compact design, and consistent performance, the SCX1 is also available with hypercardioid (SCX1HC) or omnidirectional (SCX1O) capsule options.
Delivering a smooth and uniform frequency response from 40 Hz to 20 kHz, the SCX1 maintains excellent consistency across both on- and off-axis signals, with minimal proximity effect and outstanding phase coherence. Its wide cardioid pickup pattern, combined with high output and sensitivity, makes it ideal for capturing overheads, drum kits, orchestral sections, strings, piano, room ambience, and sound effects. The SCX1HC, in particular, is a top choice for hi-hat miking in both live and studio environments.
Key features include a 21 mm gold-vapor diaphragm, miniaturized electronics, and a remarkably low profile. Capable of handling SPLs up to 130 dB and offering up to 20 dB of ambient noise rejection, the SCX1 excels not only with instruments but also in capturing group vocals, spoken word, and Foley work. The SCX1HC variant is also widely favored for interior dialogue recording using boom poles.
Crafted with a precision-machined brass body, interchangeable capsules, a durable black multi-layer Class 'A' liquid finish, and a gold-plated XLR connector, the SCX1 is built to exacting standards and tight tolerances..
