Audix SCX1HC — Professional Studio Hypercardioid Condenser Microphone
SCX1HC Overview
The Audix SCX1HC is a professional studio condenser microphone engineered for a wide range of recording, broadcast, and live sound applications. Built around a 21mm gold vapor capsule with miniaturized electronics, it delivers high sensitivity, pinpoint accuracy, and consistent on- and off-axis response across a smooth, uniform frequency range of 40 Hz to 20 kHz. The hypercardioid polar pattern provides up to 20 dB of ambient noise rejection, making it a preferred choice for hi-hat miking, interior dialogue boom pole work, and close-miking in acoustically challenging environments. It is well suited for audio engineers, studio professionals, broadcast facilities, and live sound engineers who require reliable, consistent performance in demanding applications.
The SCX1HC features a precision machined brass body with a black multi-layer Class A liquid finish, a gold-plated XLR connector, and interchangeable capsules, offering a compact footprint without compromising build integrity. Designed, machined, assembled, and tested by Audix in the USA.
