Audix ADX18HC — 18-Inch Miniature Hypercardioid Gooseneck Condenser Microphone
ADX18HC Overview
The Audix ADX18HC is a professional miniature gooseneck condenser microphone engineered for fixed-installation and presentation environments including podiums, conference rooms, boardrooms, and teleconferencing systems. The hypercardioid polar pattern delivers tighter pickup control compared to standard cardioid configurations, helping to isolate the speaker and reject ambient noise in acoustically challenging spaces. Integrated preamp circuitry is built directly into the base of the XLR connector, simplifying installation and signal chain design. This microphone is suited for AV integrators, houses of worship, corporate facilities, and broadcast environments requiring reliable, low-profile speech reinforcement.
The ADX18HC ships with a flange mount for permanent installation and is compatible with optional shock-mount bases including the ATS10, ATS1, and ATS1L, as well as standard microphone stands via the DCLIP snap-fit holder, providing flexible deployment options across a range of installations.
