Audix SCX25A — Premium Large Diaphragm Studio Condenser Microphone
SCX25A Overview
The Audix SCX25A is a professional studio condenser microphone built around a patented capsule suspension system that isolates the capsule entirely from the mic body and electronics via an intricate machined brass ring. This design minimizes acoustic reflections and diffractions, delivering a pure, open-air sound with exceptional detail and realism. The SCX25A handles SPLs in excess of 135 dB and provides up to 20 dB of ambient noise rejection, making it well suited for recording engineers, studio professionals, and live sound engineers working with acoustic instruments, orchestral sections, and vocals. Designed, machined, assembled, and tested by Audix in the USA, the SCX25A represents a fully domestic manufacturing commitment from capsule to finished product.
Affectionately known as “The Lollipop,” the SCX25A exhibits outstanding phase coherence and minimal proximity effect, and its wide cardioid polar pattern gives engineers the flexibility to blend the direct sound of an instrument or vocal with the natural acoustics of the room.
