{"product_id":"adx-a231-audix-a231-large-diaphragm-true-condenser-microphone","title":"Audix A231 Large Diaphragm True Condenser Microphone","description":"An exceptionally consistent cardioid polar pattern focuses on the performance while offering smooth off-axis rejection. The 33 mm condenser capsule of the A231 features a precision-tensioned diaphragm made from a specially formulated, heat-treated film with gold deposition distributed evenly to the far edges of the diaphragm. The result is a 25% greater effective diaphragm area when compared to the capsule of a typical large diaphragm microphone. Behind the double-woven steel mesh grille of the A231, acoustic reflections and diffractions are minimized for transparent sound capture. The internal shock mount isolates the capsule from mechanical vibrations, eliminating the need for a bulky external shock mount. Proprietary impedance control between the capsule and circuitry ensures consistent and reliable performance across a wide range of environments.\n\nDesigned, machined, assembled, and tested by Audix in Wilsonville, Oregon.\n\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eOPERATION AND MAINTENANCE\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nThe A231 is a low impedance microphone and should be plugged into a “mic level”\n\ninput on your console, mixer, or recording device with 48 V phantom power. Allow\n\na minimum of 20 seconds for the A231 to stabilize after phantom power is supplied.\n\nAvoid plugging or unplugging the microphone from a PA system unless the channel\n\nis muted, or phantom power to the A231 channel is turned off. Failure to do so may\n\nresult in a loud “popping” noise or damage to the PA system or studio monitors.\n\nThe A231 is manufactured to exacting specifications. The capsule is highly sensitive and the microphone should be handled with care. Avoid exposing the microphone to extreme temperatures, moisture, and shock. Store your microphone in a\n\nprotective case when not in use.\n\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\n•Vocals\n\n•Choir\n\n•Voiceover\n\n•Podcasting\n\n•Piano\n\n•Acoustic instruments\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003e33 mm externally-biased condenser capsule\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003e25% greater effective diaphragm area\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eCardioid polar pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eProprietary internal shock mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eLow noise preamp circuitry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eMachined aluminum body with gold-plated brass band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ciframe title=\"Dreams Come True: Building the Track with Audix Microphones\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ch7TJ-ihXfs\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTransducer \/ Capsule Technology\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\n33 mm externally-biased condenser capsule \/ 29 mm\n\n3.4 micron gold-sputtered diaphragm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency Range\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 Hz - 20 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePolar Pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e Cardioid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Impedance\u003c\/strong\u003e 150 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 mV \/ Pa @ 1 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignal to Noise Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e 82 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum SPL\u003c\/strong\u003e 140 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDynamic Range\u003c\/strong\u003e 128 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCMRR\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026gt;70 dB @ 1 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Output Voltage\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 V rms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Drive Capability\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026gt;303 meter (1000ft)\n\ncable = 100pF per meter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEquivalent Noise Level\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 dBA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Voltage\u003c\/strong\u003e 48 V ± 4 V Phantom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnector\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-pin XLR m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials \/ Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nBody: Machined aluminum\n\nand gold-plated brass band\n\nGrille: Steel alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e 330 g \/ 11.6 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eSUPPLIED ACCESSORIES\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\n•POUCHAXMED – Protective zippered carrying case\n\n•DCLIP – Heavy duty nylon molded snap on clip","brand":"Audix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50859492180256,"sku":"ADX-A231","price":1079.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0953\/3793\/9232\/files\/ADXA231_ab3d2fa8-af5e-42d4-9454-28c0401ba55a.png?v=1762316667","url":"https:\/\/megamusiconline.com.au\/products\/adx-a231-audix-a231-large-diaphragm-true-condenser-microphone","provider":"Mega Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
