Audix SCX1 — Professional Studio Cardioid Condenser Microphone
SCX1 Overview
The Audix SCX1 is a professional studio condenser microphone built for recording, broadcast, and live sound environments where accuracy and consistency are critical. Its 21mm gold vapor capsule delivers high sensitivity and a smooth, uniform frequency response from 40 Hz to 20 kHz, with excellent phase coherence and minimal proximity effect. The SCX1 handles sound pressure levels up to 130 dB and provides up to 20 dB of ambient noise rejection, making it suitable for demanding acoustic environments. It is an ideal tool for audio engineers, studio recordists, orchestral sound designers, and live production teams.
The SCX1 is manufactured to exacting tolerances with a precision machined brass body, miniaturized electronics, and an extremely small footprint, making it practical for tight placement scenarios including overhead drum miking, orchestral sections, and boom pole applications. It is designed, machined, assembled, and tested by Audix in the USA.
